Atlas Ocean Voyages appoints general sales agent for Australasia

Atlas has three 198-passenger expedition ships — World Voyager, World Traveller and World Navigator — with two more, World Adventurer and World Discoverer, on order.

‘Atlas Ocean Voyages is a fresh new brand and through our extensive trade and consumer networks and by working with our retail agent partners, we plan to showcase the bold, intimate and in-depth experiences Atlas offers in special places around the world,’ Cruise Traveller MD Joseph O’Sullivan said.

O’Sullivan said the new partnership comes in the wake of figures from Cruise Lines International Association which show expedition cruises are the fastest growing segment of the global cruise industry, up 71% from 2019 to 2023.

Adventurous travellers

‘We are excited to work closely with Joe O’Sullivan and his team to offer exceptional yachting expeditions to adventurous travellers in Antarctica, the Arctic, Mediterranean and South America,’ Atlas Ocean Voyages President and CEO James Rodriguez said.

Rodriguez said the collaboration will help the company to reach out to travellers in Australia and New Zealand, capitalising on Cruise Traveller’s seasoned experience in selling small ship cruising.
