Atlas Ocean’s Mediterranean Epicurean Expeditions sailing July through September 2026 have limited availability remaining, the company said in a statement.

These experiences offer a deep dive into the history, nature, art or cuisine of a destination through an exclusive excursion ashore or an event onboard.

“Our 2026 Mediterranean Epicurean Expeditions are designed to go beyond traditional cruising by offering deep, authentic connections to the region’s most marquee and boutique ports,” said James Rodriguez, president of Atlas Ocean Voyages.

“With our complimentary Atlas Immersive Experiences, we provide our guests with exclusive, after-hours access and sensory-rich encounters that simply cannot be found elsewhere.”
