Nothing makes a cruise more fun than meeting a group of fellow travelers you instantly “click” with and bond over shared experiences. We were lucky enough to find such a group, who quickly became friends. From all walks of life, backgrounds, and experiences, we shared an amazing trip and are already planning a reunion trip on Atlas, this time to the Arctic.
