Atlas Ocean Voyages has announced that it is currently building Atlas Adventurer, its first-ever luxury expedition sailing yacht.
The new Atlas-class vessel will be an eco-friendly exploration yacht with hybrid propulsion that is purpose-built for global exploration. The yacht will feature advanced marine systems and will be equipped with three carbon masts and solid sails. When conditions at sea and with the wind permit, these components will enhance its operational efficiency and enable zero-emission cruising, allowing for a silent presence on the water.
The 26,000-gross-ton luxury yacht will measure 690 feet in length and will accommodate up to 400 guests supported by a crew of 275. It will feature all-suite accommodations across every category, as well as seven dining venues, including specialty restaurants and a new culinary studio for hands-on learning and destination-inspired programming. The yacht will also feature five lounges and cocktail bar social spaces, along with two outdoor bars. Additionally, there will be an expanded fitness and wellness center, a large swimming pool, and purpose-built expedition capabilities, including Zodiacs, luxury motorboats, as well as a marina platform with an ocean pool for water-based exploration.
“This new Atlas-class sailing yacht represents the next step in our growth,” said James A. Rodriguez, President & CEO of Atlas Ocean Voyages, in a press release statement. “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. As our brand continues to evolve, this vessel is a powerful expression of where we are headed: thoughtful growth, intentional design and deeper global 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. Further details, including suite designs, onboard experiences, dining concepts and day-by-day itineraries are anticipated in the coming months.
“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, in a press release statement. “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.
“This vessel combines modern design with advanced technology, featuring carbon-fiber masts and solid sails, along with a powerful 9-megawatt battery system that enables near-silent operation when sailing under wind power. 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.”
