Atlas Ocean Voyages has revealed it’s building a state -of-the-art luxury expedition sailing yacht with sails and an eco-friendly hybrid propulsion system that can run almost silently.
Atlas Adventurer is purpose-built for global exploration, seamlessly balancing advanced technology with elevated comfort, the company says. The yacht features advanced marine systems and is equipped with three carbon-fiber masts and rigid adjustable sails. When sea and wind conditions permit, they allow the ship to cruise with zero emissions and a silent presence on the water.
The Atlas Adventurer will be 690 feet long and accommodate 400 guests with a crew of 275. The yacht is equipped with dual-fuel engines and electric-hybrid propulsion, featuring a large nine-megawatt marine battery system that enables high speeds even in light wind conditions, enhancing the sailing experience with virtually silent operation. The ship is equipped with zero-speed fin stabilizers, two vertical fin stabilizers, a reinforced hull, and an Ice Class 1B (Polar Category C) rating, capable of sailing in light ice.
This design will allow it to navigate a wide range of global destinations with confidence, efficiency, and refined performance, said James A. Rodriguez, President & CEO of Atlas Ocean Voyages. “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.”
The ship features all-suite accommodations across every category, increased space and amenities, and a broader range of dining, wellness, and social offerings, while maintaining Atlas’ signature the boutique hospitality.
“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. “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, allowing access to some of the most exclusive and restricted small ports around the world.
The vessel will include seven dining venues, featuring specialty restaurants and a new culinary studio for hands-on learning and destination-inspired programming. It will also have 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, and a marina platform with an ocean pool for water-based 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 extending the line’s global reach while continuing to redefine luxury expedition cruising to remote destinations around the world.
Additional details, including suite designs, onboard experiences, dining concepts, and day-by-day itineraries, will be announced in the coming months.
Atlas Ocean Voyages has also opened Early Access Priority reservations, inviting guests to secure their place on an inaugural season voyage with a $2,000 deposit and register their interest and be among the first to receive updates on the yacht’s design, onboard experiences, destinations, culinary offerings, and service as details are unveiled.
