Rare gnome12 Posted July 5, 2021 #28 Share Posted July 5, 2021 I’m really interested to see information about included (and optional) excursions. It is very hard to think about booking an all inclusive cruise without seeing how good the included excursions are and how expensive the optional ones are. I realize that excursions in the Mediterranean are not going to be the same as the Norway cruise I am considering but seeing something is better than nothing. I hope that anyone with an early sailing date will post some information. Thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I am guessing everything is subject to change at this point. https://atlasoceanvoyages.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/AOV_ICONIC_GREECE_ITALY_EXCURSIONS.pdf https://atlasoceanvoyages.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/AOV_9_NIGHT_ATHENS_TO_CAIRO_IMMERSIVE_EGYPT.pdf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can anyone explain why there are prices on excursions marked complimentary? I also don’t think that I found a choice of complimentary excursions. There seems to be only one in each port.

Can anyone explain why there are prices on excursions marked complimentary? I also don’t think that I found a choice of complimentary excursions. There seems to be only one in each port. I wondered this too. I read on one of the early brochures that it was one complimentary excursion for the trip. Now it’s one per port. We just filled out our excursion form for the 8/13 Cairo to Athens trip. At some ports there is more than one complimentary excursion (Cyprus had 2 to choose from). One instance where I see why there is a cost is when you are in the port for more than one day (our overnight in Mykonos for example). Since it’s just one excursion per port we can do a complimentary excursion the first day and pay for the complimentary one on the second day. I’m glad they added the timeframes to the brochure too as that helped with choosing. This is our first ever cruise and one question I have is how often to the tenders to back and forth while we are in port. Looking forward to all of the final details. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joyce Ottawa Posted July 12, 2021 #33 Share Posted July 12, 2021 We are on the Aug 4/21 Athens to Cairo cruise, just booked last week. It seems like this will actually happen, we are very excited! I'm surprised that only the staff has to be double vaccinated, not the guests. We are vaccinated, I hope all the other travellers are... We have also booked the 4 day extension at the end of the cruise to the Valley of the Kings, anyone else? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have also booked the 4 day extension at the end of the cruise to the Valley of the Kings, anyone else? We were informed that the crew/staff will all be vaccinated and quarantined prior to the cruise and that passengers will need to "attest" that they are vaccinated. Here's the article (look at the end of the article that confirms this): https://www.seatrade-cruise.com/ship-operations/atlas-redeploys-world-navigator-egyptgreek-isles-inaugural-summer I was told that in your final cruise documents there is a health form you need to complete. I'm guessing that the attestation will probably be in that packet. Since you are leaving on the maiden voyage, You will have this info before anyone else so please post once you get the documents emailed to you. It is a big relief to have all the passengers vaccinated both for everyone's safety and ease of visiting some ports that will require vaccination. Please let us know about the attestation once you get the documents and post a review of your cruise. Wishing you a wonderful journey!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joyce Ottawa Posted July 13, 2021 #35 Share Posted July 13, 2021 Thanks for the article reference, I hadn't seen that, it's much appreciated! (The Atlas rep said that passengers didn't have to be vaccinated.) I will post when I get the info and let you know, and I will post on the cruise went. We leave 3 weeks today!

My advisor at Atlas confirmed the "attestation" concerning the vaccine. Since Atlas is a new line, they have many new agents who may not be reading all the updates that are distributed to them. Some are not very detail oriented and l found that l had to really press to get the info. Apparently the info on the crew vaccinations and quarantine was on one page and the info on the attestation was on the second page! This is what l was told. Anyway, you will have your documents in a few days and l am looking forward to you sharing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are sailing on the transatlantic, maybe you'll get an email within the next week or so with your loyalty ID info? Like everything so far, I've been pretty patient but it is encouraging to see signs of progress on the booking process.

The numbers appeared after our first AOV agent left and we started working with another. Maybe that is why. We are on the Transatlantic. If you need any info about what's on the "myatlas" let me know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amunhbuu Posted July 14, 2021 #48 Share Posted July 14, 2021 We booked the TA on 2/12 and our Antarctica on 1/29. No loyalty numbers for us. Even when they rebooked us for Antarctica on 4/21 due to the charter there is nothing in the invoice. 🤷♂️ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that was sometime at the end of May. Our first Atlas agent, A.P. , didn't have our excursions on the invoice, even though our requests were submitted early, but the second agent fixed that as well.

amunhbuu Posted July 14, 2021 #50 Share Posted July 14, 2021 We haven't picked excursions yet. We noticed when looking over the list that there were no times listed. Did someone provide you that info @keokukjoe? Didn't know if we could do multiples per day? The ones we are really interested in are in Portugal and the Canary Islands. We have been to the Caribbean islands multiple times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
