Atlas Ocean Voyages is celebrating a record-breaking start to 2026, with the strongest January booking performance in the company’s history. 

January bookings were up more than 60 percent year over year, and nearly triple January 2024 levels.

The brand’s leaders believe the strong start in 2026 is the result of several new strategic initiatives, including the Enhanced Explorer’s Choice offer, a new brand identity and the announcement of a new ship called Atlas Adventurer.

January’s performance signals “not only heightened demand but also increased consumer confidence in the Atlas brand,” says James A. Rodriguez, president and chief executive officer of Atlas Ocean Voyages.

“We are seeing strong forward booking trends, healthy pricing and earlier purchase behavior, all of which reinforce the durability and long-term revenue potential of our year-round luxury expedition model," Rodriguez continued.
