Luxury yacht expedition company, Atlas Ocean Voyages, has announced record-setting charter sales for 2025 and beyond.

As part of its strategic growth plan and in partnership with Mystic Cruises, Atlas Ocean Voyages has extended its relationship with an existing charter client. Beginning in Fall 2026, World Voyager will embark on a seasonal winter charter for three consecutive Antarctic seasons through March 2029. This partnership aligns with Atlas' measured growth strategy, optimizing fleet utilization and deployment strategy.  

James A. Rodriguez, President & CEO of Atlas Ocean Voyages said in a statement, “Our ability to balance our FIT and charter business ensures the best use of our fleet while continuing to elevate the guest experience. The demand for our expedition-style luxury experiences is at an all-time high, and it’s exciting to see our strong forward momentum in future deployment strategy take shape.” 

“Our customers truly value our products and offerings. They are attracted to the luxury and craftsmanship of our ships, as well as the ability to brand and customize their individual experiences,” said Robert Cao, Vice President of Charters & MICE. 

He added, “Our repeat charter clients highlight the strong relationships the Atlas Charter team has developed over the years. These connections have resulted in ongoing business as we enter our third and fourth years with many partners. This reflects the quality of our fleet and the elevated service experience we provide on board.”

“Working with the Atlas team has been a very positive experience from many perspectives for us at 3D Cruise Partners. Their flexibility and personalized approach have made the chartering process seamless. In fact, even before I was able to sail on the vessel, I felt confident offering Atlas to one of our most discerning, high-end, repeat charter clients,” said Karen Devine CITP, CEO & Founder of 3D Cruise Partners.

She added,” We moved to contract due to the confidence instilled by Robert and the shoreside team, and the ship and crew delivered in all aspects.  The client was thrilled and is considering another charter with Atlas soon.  Due to the longstanding relationship built with Robert and his team, together with the backing of the home offices to support and deliver for the MICE industry, and proof in on-board operations, I know we will continue with complete confidence in presenting and selling Atlas to our clients.  I look forward to continuing our successful partnership.”

“Atlas provided a seamless experience when recently sourcing for my Incentive charter client. The contracting process was straightforward, with clear terms that balanced flexibility and commitment, making negotiations efficient. Communication was prompt and transparent, ensuring that all details were addressed without unnecessary back-and-forth. Overall, the reliability of their service, the quality of their hardware, and their structured approach to contracting made for a smooth and hassle-free transaction. A solid option for future charter needs” shared Carolyn Amiel, CIS, Incentive Travel Options.

With interest in customized private charters, corporate incentives, and specialty groups at an all-time high, Atlas Ocean Voyages continues to offer tailored expedition experiences seamlessly blending adventure and luxury. 

The brand’s intimate yachts with fewer than 198 guests per voyage, provide an exclusive setting for bespoke itineraries and curated experiences that set Atlas apart.
