Customer ReviewsforAtlas Ocean Voyages

My wife and I had the misfortune of being passengers on the "Atlas World Traveler", owned by Atlas Ocean Voyages, from March *****, 2024, cruising from ********* to **********. Within 2 days of boarding, I developed a profuse cough and fatigue, followed by my wife, a couple of days later. Within a week, many passengers were also ill. We were told by crew members that many of them were sick, before we boarded. We were told by eyewitnesses that the ship's doctor advised the captain to mask the crew and close the bridge to passengers. An argument ensued between them, as the captain refused the doctor's advice. Our ship became a Petri dish of disease. My wife and I are both physicians, as were many of the passengers. The *** protocols require that sick crew members be "identified and isolated." This was not done. They were neither medicated nor masked. Had this *** protocol been followed, much illness could have been prevented. No medication was offered, provided or available for purchase in the gift shop. The doctor was only available from 8:00AM-10:00AM and 5:00PM-7:00PM. Passengers needing to see him during the other 20 hours of a day were charged more money. When my wife emailed the *** of Atlas Ocean Voyages, **********************, of her concerns that future passengers are not subjected to these failures of care and decency, she received a response from ************ ******, Sr. *********Guest Relations, that denied the very events that crew members (eyewitnesses), told us. He that arrogantly proclaimed that his company is not obligated to respect *** standards because they fly under the flag of a European country, and as such, were somehow not responsible to any moral coded of ethical behavior or or inherent responsibility to passengers that place their misguided trust in Atlas Ocean Voyages. The arrogance of the response is as offending as the callous behavior they displayed. It is my hope that future potential passengers be forewarned of cruising with this company.
