The inaugural season of World Navigator, Atlas Ocean Voyages’ first ship, continues as originally planned, with its debut luxury expedition cruises to the ‘White Continent’ starting in NOV.
The Antarctic cruise season has been complicated by pandemic travel restrictions.
For Antarctic voyages, Atlas offers guests private charter jet service directly from Florida to Ushuaia to embark the ship.
As part of its All Inclusive All the Way program, Atlas’ complimentary private charter jet service shortens the travel time it takes for guests to reach and return from Ushuaia and avoids overnights and extended layovers in an international airport, which are common with commercial flights.
“We are happy to proceed with World Navigator’s inaugural Antarctica season as planned,” said Alberto Aliberti, President of Atlas Ocean Voyages.
“As the first cruise line to offer private charter jet service, Atlas is establishing a safety bubble in the U.S. and safely flying guests directly to World Navigator in Ushuaia. The benefits of our private charter jet service combined with our proven safety and hygiene protocols were instrumental in clearing our operations from Ushuaia. This innovation is part of Atlas’ All Inclusive All the Way, in which we take care of the details and make it more convenient, seamless and safe for our guests.”
World Navigator will sail nine- and 12-night Antarctica expeditions, departing round-trip from Ushuaia, Argentina from NOV 2021 through to MAR 2022.
Guests will enjoy a once-in-a-lifetime adventure to the Southern Continent and witness penguins, seals, walruses, whales and large sea birds and awe at the unspoiled landscape and towering icebergs.
In particular, the 28NOV sailing will bring guests to the best place on earth to view a rare, Antarctic solar eclipse, while the 02FEB 2022 departure features a crossing into the Antarctic Circle in pursuit of marine wildlife-spotting.
Atlas says one of its unique features is that is allows guest to be “closer to the waterline to sight Antarctic marine wildlife from World Navigator’s Water’s Edge Lookout, the lowest ship’s observation bow in the industry and the only one with wrap-around, heated benches for extended time out on deck.”
The new cruise line’s inclusions provide all guests complimentary round-trip air travel, unlimited premium wine and spirits, international beers and coffees, prepaid gratuities, polar parkas, regionally inspired gourmet cuisine, emergency medical evacuation insurance, WiFi and L’OCCITANE bath amenities. In every stateroom, guests enjoy robes, slippers and binoculars to use throughout the voyage, personalized coffee, teas and bar service, and butler service in suites.
Following its inaugural Antarctic season World Navigator will sail in the Mediterranean, Northern Europe, the Arctic, and Central and South America in summer 2022.
Atlas Ocean Voyages’ second ship, World Traveller, launches in JUL 2022, with three additional sister ships, World Seeker, World Adventurer and World Discoverer, to join the fleet by the end of 2023.
