World Traveller

World Traveller, Atlas Ocean Voyages’ second luxury-expedition yacht, carries just 196 guests in boutique-hotel style while meeting Ice Class 1B standards for true polar capability. Delivered in late 2022, the 9,930-ton vessel sails effortlessly from Antarctica to the Mediterranean thanks to hybrid diesel-electric engines and dynamic positioning that protects fragile seabeds. Guests perch on heated benches at the Water’s Edge Lookout only 30 feet above the sea, then indulge in the sea-view SeaSpa by L’OCCITANE or savor Portuguese-inspired cuisine in Lisboa. With quiet hydro-jet mode, an open-bridge policy, and elegant La Dolce Vita interiors, World Traveller sets a new benchmark for high-style adventure.
