ATLAS Ocean Voyages has announced it is building a luxury expedition sailing yacht (render pictured), marking the next phase of its growth.
The new vessel, which will launch in 2028, will belong to the new Atlas-class of ships, named for the cruise line itself.
Atlas Adventurer’s first season will see her explore destinations across Asia, including Japan, South Korea, China, Vietnam, Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand, and the Philippines; as well as African nations such as the Seychelles, Madagascar, Tanzania, Kenya, Mozambique, and more.
Adventurer will accommodate up to 400 passengers and introduce a significantly expanded onboard experience, including all-suite staterooms, increased space and amenities, and a broader range of dining, wellness, and social offerings.
The 210-metre ship will include seven dining venues and specialty restaurants, and a new culinary studio for hands-on, destination-inspired programming.
There will also be five social spaces, including lounges and cocktail bars, along with two outdoor bars.
Other facilities will include an expanded fitness and wellness centre, a large swimming pool, and purpose-built expedition capabilities, including Zodiacs, luxury motorboats, and a marina platform with an ocean pool for water-based activities.
The ship will feature hybrid propulsion and solid sails fixed to three carbon masts, and will also be equipped with dual-fuel engines, as well as electric hybrid propulsion, thanks to a large nine-megawatt marine battery system that enables high speeds in light wind conditions.
Additionally, Adventurer will be equipped with a reinforced hull and will have ice class 1B (polar category C) capability.
President James Rodriguez said Adventurer represents the next evolution of the Atlas brand.
“It allows us to expand our destination footprint into regions our guests have been asking us for, while further solidifying Atlas’ position within the luxury expedition cruise category,” Rodriguez said. MS
