Atlas Ocean Voyages has announced it is building its first-ever luxury expedition sailing yacht.
Atlas Adventurer will be a next-generation vessel that represents a significant milestone in the company’s continued evolution and growth within the luxury expedition cruise industry.
The new Atlas-class vessel is an eco-friendly yacht purpose-built for global exploration, featuring advanced marine systems, three carbon masts and solid sails.
When conditions at sea and with the wind permit, these elements will enhance operational efficiency and enable zero-emission cruising, allowing for a silent presence on the water.
This reinforces Atlas’s commitment to environmentally conscious modern global exploration.
“Atlas Ocean Voyages has always been driven by innovation in how we explore the world,” said Mario Ferreira, Chairman, Founder and Owner of Mystic Invest Holding, Atlas’ parent company.
“With Atlas Adventurer, we are introducing a new generation of luxury expedition sailing yachts. This vessel serves as a bridge between the wind mastery of the 15th century and the solid sails and electric propulsion of the 21st century.
“The yacht is designed to comply with future zero-emission port regulations and can navigate silently, allowing access to some of the most exclusive and restricted small ports around the world.”
The vessel will include seven dining venues, featuring specialty restaurants and a new culinary studio for hands-on learning and destination-inspired programming.
It will also have five lounges and cocktail bar social spaces, along with two outdoor bars.
Additionally, there will be an expanded fitness and wellness centre, a large pool and purpose-built expedition capabilities, including Zodiacs, luxury motorboats and a marina platform with an ocean pool for water-based exploration.
Beginning in late 2028, Atlas Adventurer will explore destinations across Asia, including Japan, South Korea, China, Vietnam, Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand and the Philippines, and Africa, including Seychelles, Madagascar, Tanzania, Kenya, Mozambique and South Africa.
“Atlas Ocean Voyages continues to be a perfect fit for Australians who value no-fuss, effortless elegance, an abundance of space, elevated cuisine, efficient service, affordability and a focus on authentic, low-impact visits to smaller ports and remote and pristine places around the world,” said Joe O’Sullivan, Cruise Traveller Managing Director.
Via Cruise Traveller, Australians can register their interest in Atlas Adventurer’s inaugural season in 2028/29 and be among the first to receive updates on the yacht’s design, onboard experiences, destinations, culinary offerings and service as details are unveiled.
