Atlas Sets Record in Charter Sales for 2025 – Cruise Industry News

Atlas Ocean Voyages has achieved record charter sales for 2025 and beyond, the company announced in a press release.

As part of its strategic growth, the line has extended its partnership with an existing charter client through Mystic Cruises.

Beginning in Fall 2026, the World Voyager will operate a seasonal winter charter in Antarctica for three consecutive seasons through March 2029. This agreement supports Atlas’ fleet optimization and deployment strategy.

“Our ability to balance our FIT and charter business ensures the best use of our fleet while continuing to elevate the guest experience,” said James A. Rodriguez, president and CEO of Atlas Ocean Voyages. “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.

“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 onboard.”

“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!  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,” added Karen Devine, CITP, CEO and founder of 3D Cruise Partners.

“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,” said Carolyn Amiel, CIS, Incentive Travel Options.
