Australians seeking luxury, adventure and ease on the high seas have a new cruise brand to watch: Atlas Ocean Voyages. And according to Cruise Traveller’s Managing Director, Joseph O’Sullivan, the boutique line is “a perfect fit for Australians.”
O’Sullivan recently returned from a seven-night expedition with Atlas, sailing aboard the 198-guest World Voyager from Scotland to the Faroe Islands. It was his first personal experience with the line since Cruise Traveller became the exclusive Australian representative for Atlas Ocean Voyages last year.
“Everything onboard was exceptional — intimate, relaxed, and refreshingly easy,” O’Sullivan said. “Australians don’t like fuss or formality. We want elegance, space, good food and great company — all at an affordable price — and Atlas absolutely delivers.”
He described the voyage as seamless, with no queues, no stress, and more time to genuinely connect with destinations and fellow passengers. “This is the kind of cruise where you can really breathe, really discover, and really enjoy,” he said. “It’s not just about the luxury, although that’s certainly there. It’s about the enrichment of the experience.”
Atlas operates three identical, small expedition vessels — World Voyager, World Traveller, and World Navigator — each carrying just 198 guests and 130 crew. That 1.5-to-1 guest-to-crew ratio ensures highly personalised service and smooth, stress-free logistics at every port. “After 30 years in the industry, this was one of the most satisfying cruises I’ve experienced — even down to the breakfasts and the showers!” he said.
He added that small ship cruising also means smaller ports stay authentic. “You’re not overwhelming a destination, you’re complementing it.”
