Attention solo adventurers! This northern summer, Secret Atlas is transforming the MV Freya into a haven for independent travelers exploring the stunning landscapes of Svalbard and Greenland. With the introduction of six new single cabins and the elimination of single supplements on all itineraries, the company is offering a unique opportunity for those seeking a polar adventure without the large crowds typically associated with cruising. This initiative allows solo travelers to enjoy a truly intimate experience aboard a vessel that accommodates only 12 guests.
Secret Atlas’ ambitious redesign of the MV Freya focuses primarily on enhancing accommodations for solo travelers. The ship will feature six new single cabins, each equipped with private bathrooms, ensuring a comfortable retreat for adventurers. Out of the limited 12-guest capacity, four cabins are designated as Classic Single cabins, allowing solo travelers to enjoy their own private space while maintaining the close-knit, expedition-style atmosphere that defines the experience aboard the MV Freya.

Onboard amenities merge classic polar aesthetics with modern conveniences, including a cozy dining saloon and a bar, inviting lounge spaces, and multiple outdoor decks designed for optimal wildlife viewing and photography. For guests looking to unwind after a day of exploration, a sauna and hot tub are available, offering a comforting retreat after spending time on deck amidst the breathtaking Arctic scenery. The MV Freya is solidly built with a 1A ice-strengthened hull, specifically designed to navigate the challenging and remote Arctic waters.
Since its establishment in 2019, Secret Atlas has been a forerunner in redefining expedition micro-cruises. With a focus on individual exploration, their journeys are designed for those who wish to experience the thrill of discovery without the overwhelming presence of larger cruise ships. Each voyage accommodates a mere 12 guests, all expertly guided by seasoned leaders who ensure that landings in remote locations can be achieved with minimal impact, allowing travelers to benefit from a more flexible itinerary.
The newly added single cabins on the MV Freya exemplify Secret Atlas’s commitment to catering to the burgeoning solo traveler market, particularly in Arctic regions. Many independent guests are searching for connection rather than solitude; they seek the comforting presence of fellow explorers while still yearning for the privacy of their own ensuite cabin each night. By dedicating half of its cabins to solo occupancy, Secret Atlas creates the perfect balance between shared experiences such as Zodiac landings and communal meals, while also providing a tranquil personal space for relaxation.
This summer season, Secret Atlas will feature a flagship itinerary focused on solo travelers—the 10-day Svalbard Summer Micro-Cruise. Set to sail through the awe-inspiring Svalbard archipelago, this voyage showcases stunning glaciated landscapes, as well as the chance to observe polar bears and other wildlife in their natural habitats, all while enjoying the advantages of a small vessel.
Keeping true to its micro-cruise philosophy, Secret Atlas maintains low guest numbers, and allows for open-bridge policies and extended ashore time when conditions permit. This design aims to immerse guests in the genuine rhythm of polar exploration. For solo travelers, the Svalbard itinerary provides a valuable chance to share unique experiences with a small group, without the distractions posed by hundreds of fellow tourists—all while savoring the luxury of a single cabin without any additional costs.
In addition to the Svalbard voyages, Secret Atlas is also promoting its Northeast Greenland National Park Micro Cruise, offering the opportunity to experience both Greenland and Svalbard in one breathtaking adventure. This itinerary navigates through the world’s largest national park, revealing a stunning wilderness filled with fjords, mountains, and expansive sea ice—truly one of the Arctic’s most remote corners.
By limiting the guest capacity to 12 and employing an ice-strengthened vessel, Secret Atlas facilitates intimate encounters with Greenland’s striking icebergs and towering cliffs while remaining adaptable to the ever-changing ice and weather conditions. With single cabins now available, solo travelers can embrace this extraordinary Arctic voyage without the burden of additional fees, making this once-in-a-lifetime experience more within reach than ever.
As the summer season approaches, Secret Atlas’s introduction of six single cabins on MV Freya serves to enrich the experience of solo travelers seeking intimate Arctic journeys. This redesign emphasizes the core aspects of Arctic solo travel—privacy, comfort, and the companionship of a small group, all while espousing the values of micro-cruise travel and environmentally responsible exploration.
For independent adventurers who have always dreamed of witnessing the midnight sun over Svalbard or charting the rugged coasts of Greenland, the opportunity to book a journey that blends intimacy and luxury with the wild beauty of the Arctic is more attainable than ever. With thoughtful amenities on board like cozy single cabins, a sauna, and inviting viewing decks, travelers can finally turn their Arctic expedition dreams into a thrilling reality, without the pressures of crowded tourism.
