Atlas Ocean Voyages has unveiled a new guest enrichment program for its special President’s Preferred Voyage to Antarctica in March 2026, with exclusive reduced fares now available to Australians through Cruise Traveller.

The line, known for its intimate and luxurious yacht style expeditions, will host two leading figures in conservation and creativity on the 13 night journey.

Travellers aboard the 198 guest World Traveller will be joined by award winning photographer and filmmaker Karim Iliya, a member of The Explorers Club, along with Icelandic sustainability advocate Björk Brynjars. Together they will offer guests an immersive view of Antarctica through the connected themes of artistry, ecology and stewardship.

Chosen personally by Atlas Ocean Voyages President and CEO James A Rodriguez, the voyage has been curated to showcase exploration and creativity at their best.

“Karim represents the spirit of modern exploration that Atlas strives to celebrate,”

Rodriguez said.

“As a member of The Explorers Club, he embodies curiosity, courage and a deep commitment to preserving our planet’s wild places. Likewise, Björk’s pioneering work in Iceland bridges innovation and environmental responsibility, reminding us that the principles of sustainability connect every ecosystem from the volcanic highlands of Iceland to the frozen frontiers of Antarctica.”

The Explorers Club is a global society that supports the advancement of field research, scientific exploration and conservation.

During the March voyage, guests will have the chance to join Iliya and Brynjars for onboard talks, creative workshops and Zodiac outings, along with wildlife viewing and deck observations. Their involvement forms part of the line’s ongoing focus on delivering travel experiences that inspire deeper understanding and meaningful connection with the world’s most extraordinary environments.
