Atlas Ocean Voyages is building its first luxury expedition sailing yacht, the Atlas Adventurer (render pictured), which Cruise World says will be ideal for the Kiwi explorer.
The new 400-passenger ship will have seven dining venues, five lounges, a cocktail bar, social spaces, and two outdoor bars.
A fitness and wellness centre, large pool and purpose-built expedition capabilities like Zodiacs, luxury motorboats and a marina platform with an ocean pool will be available to guests.
It will be eco-friendly with hybrid propulsion and solid sails and feature advanced marine systems and is equipped with three carbon masts.
Adventurer will offer 200 suites, increased space and amenities and a broader range of dining, wellness and social offerings.
. . . Great Kiwi Fit
Cruise World, the New Zealand gsa for Atlas Ocean Voyages, is excited about the opportunity. “It fits really well for Kiwis, it’s almost cruising for non-cruisers, and for boating Kiwis, a sailing ship allows them to be connected with the water in ways they are familiar with,” says Cruise World gm Cherryl Browne.
The upcoming eco-friendly luxury expedition sailing ship also opens cruising up to a new demographic, adds Browne. Plus, she says, the new announcement solidifies Atlas Ocean Voyages place in the expedition market and creates a new niche expedition style of cruise.
“It’s exceptional, we’re really excited about it. Agents can be confident offering Atlas Ocean Voyages, and putting it in the mix, and we have had great guest feedback.”
Mystic Invest Holding, Atlas’ parent company chairman, founder and owner Mario Ferreira says Atlas Ocean Voyages has always been driven by innovation. “With Atlas Adventurer, we are introducing a new generation of luxury expedition sailing yachts.”
“These advancements highlight our ongoing commitment to sustainable and innovative tourism, while also expanding the destinations we can explore and enhancing the onboard experiences our guests have come to expect. Atlas Adventurer represents the next evolution in responsible highly technological, comfortable and safe yacht design.”
Scheduled to debut late 2028, the Atlas Adventurer will explore destinations in Asia and Africa. Additional details will be announced in the coming months.
Atlas Ocean Voyages has opened Early Access Priority reservations, so clients can secure a place on the inaugural voyage with a USD2000 deposit and also register their interest. See more HERE.
