After announcing in October that he would step down to pursue other opportunities, James A. Rodriguez has now decided to stay on as president and chief executive officer of Atlas Ocean Voyages.
“The expedition cruise market has experienced explosive growth over the past two years and Atlas Ocean Voyages is well-positioned for 2025, with 70% of inventory already sold,” says Mário Ferreira, chairman of Mystic Invest Holding, Atlas Ocean Voyages’ parent company.
“James Rodriguez has been instrumental in the success of Atlas Ocean Voyages and is the proven leader to guide its future," Ferreira continued.
Rodriguez has been in the position for a little more than two years. During that time, the company has strengthened its partnerships with both travel advisors and consumers. Atlas Ocean Voyages also boosted its international presence, particularly in the United Kingdom and Australia.
“Over the past years, we have built a talented and passionate team that has positioned Atlas Ocean Voyages as a leader in the fast-growing expedition cruise market,” says Rodriguez.
“Leading this exceptional group of professionals has been one of the most rewarding chapters of my career, and I look forward to driving our continued success together," Rodriguez continued. "I am deeply grateful to Mystic Invest Holding Chairman Mário Ferreira and our investors for their commitment to growing Atlas and for entrusting me with the leadership of this innovative brand.”
