ATLAS OCEAN VOYAGES UNVEILS 2028-2029 FIRST SEASON OF ATLAS ADVENTURER | News
Atlas Ocean Voyages today announced the first season of Atlas Adventurer, the newest addition to its fleet of luxury expedition yachts. This season marks a major milestone for the brand and introduces a brand new collection of travel across Asia and Africa, regions never before included in the Atlas destination portfolio.
The first season’s expeditions will begin on November 6, 2028 in Kobe, Japan, and culminate in late spring 2029 in Athens, Greece. This highly anticipated deployment represents a bold expansion of Atlas’ immersive expedition experience, introducing an extraordinary range of new ports across Southeast Asia and East Africa. Guests will explore the vibrant cultures and diverse landscapes of destinations such as Indonesia and Thailand, as well as the remote, wildlife-rich coasts of Madagascar and Kenya. Enriched by Atlas’ epicurean expeditions and cultural experiences, each journey is carefully designed to deepen connections through regional cuisine, local traditions and meaningful encounters, while combining authentic discoveries with the brand’s signature hunting elegance.
To celebrate the launch of Atlas Adventurer, Atlas Ocean Voyages introduces its exclusive Explorer’s Choice Inaugural Offer, giving guests the flexibility to customize their trip with added value. Travelers who reserve a suite exclusively aboard Atlas Adventurer’s first season can choose from the following amenities: an Air Credit of up to $3,000 per suite, free unlimited WiFi or a pre-expedition hotel stay, while those booking within the Concierge Collection can choose two amenities. Guests who book a Reserve Collection Suite can enjoy all three amenities, ensuring an ultra-inclusive experience. This limited-time offer underlines Atlas Ocean Voyages’ commitment to delivering high-quality, personalized explorations at every stage of the journey.
“This inaugural season is a defining moment for Atlas Ocean Voyages,” said James A. Rodriguez, president and CEO of Atlas Ocean Voyages. “With Atlas Adventurer, we are introducing entirely new destinations while staying true to our ethos of delivering deeply immersive, culturally rich journeys. These journeys are designed for discerning travelers seeking both discovery and refinement in some of the world’s most fascinating destinations.”

Each trip is carefully crafted to showcase authentic cultural encounters, regional cuisine and immersive shore-based experiences, enhanced by Atlas’ expedition expertise and intimate yacht environment. Guests can expect a rich array of coastal experiences designed to bring each destination vividly to life. In Bangkok, for example, travelers can immerse themselves in Thailand’s dynamic culinary scene, from guided explorations of busy street markets to sophisticated tastings that reveal the balance of sweet, sour, salt and spice that defines the region’s cuisine. In the Philippines, the crystal-clear waters of Palawan and Puerto Princesa invite discovery through snorkeling and kayaking in UNESCO-listed marine environments, while Boracay offers a more relaxed pace with its powder-soft beaches and vibrant local culture. Along the coasts of Africa, experiences take on a distinctly wild and elemental character – from sea safaris and whale watching in Mossel Bay, South Africa, to explorations around Andoany (Hell-Ville) on Nosy Be, Madagascar, where guests can encounter endemic lemur species, hike through ylang-ylang plantations and lush tropical forests and discover rare flora that thrives in this uniquely biodiverse island environment. Each curated experience is designed to go beyond expectations and provide meaningful, place-based moments that resonate long after the journey ends.
