Atlas Ocean Voyages brings The Explorer’s Table to polar expeditions

Atlas Ocean Voyages has launched The Explorer’s Table, a new specialty dining option now available on polar expeditions to Antarctica and the High Arctic.

An exclusive Omakase-style dining experience, The Explorer’s Table will present global culinary highlights from Spain, Korea, France, Argentina and North America in The Dome observation lounge.

The experience will be available once on each expedition on all World Voyager, World Traveller and World Navigator yachts.

“The culinary team is kicking off the Winter 2024-2025 Antarctic season with a new elevated onboard dining experience that will continue in the Arctic next summer,” said James Rodriguez, president and CEO of Atlas Ocean Voyages. “Guests will enjoy a special evening with just a few other guests, providing the ultimate dining experience on board.”

The Explorer’s Table 10 guests will enjoy a multi-course tasting menu paired with a selection of premium wines.

Reservations open 60 days before the embarkation date and are priced at $179 per guest. Pre-reservations can be made by contacting a travel advisor or a Voyage Specialist.

The dining experience features a fusion of global flavours and culinary craftsmanship. Some of the standout dishes include fresh salad de bacalao with tomato, cod, olives and extra virgin olive oil, and the unique steamed pastrami sandwich with mustard, kimchi, and cheddar.

For seafood lovers, there is the charcoal steamed nishiki rice with ossetra caviar and the chargrilled gaucho-style vegetables and beans with pistachio gremolata.

Guests can also savour the mango, avocado, and duck with broccoli crumbs, and treat their palate to the Hemingway peppermint mojito crush with Carolina raspberry.

Additional highlights include flamed spring chicken terrine with pickles, jamon iberico de jabugo with lemon olive oil, and a decadent pot de crème featuring valrhona guanaja, 70 per cent chocolate and yuzu.

Each exquisite course will be paired with premium wine selections from the Mendoza Valley.

Atlas Ocean Voyages is also offering a Second Guest Sails Free promotion, which ends on Sept. 30. Other offers that end on the same day are Explore & Save, featuring up to $5,000 in additional bonus savings per stateroom, and a Free Stateroom Category Upgrade for 2025-2026 Antarctica and 2026 Arctic expeditions.
