Atlas Ocean Voyages announced the inaugural season of Atlas Adventurer, which will be sailing itineraries across Asia and Africa – regions never before featured in the brand’s destination portfolio.
Starting 6 November 2028 in Kobe, Japan and culminating in late spring 2029 in Athens, Greece, the expedition sailing yacht will reach new ports across Japan, Southeast Asia, and the Indian Ocean before transitioning into East and Southern Africa.
Some Asian highlights include a Kobe roundtrip (12 nights), Bangkok to Bali (14 nights), Manila to Singapore (13 nights). The vessel then moves to Africa in February from Phuket to Mahé (15 nights), reaching safari zones of Cape Town and Mombasa, before the final Mahé to Athens leg (21 nights).
Shoreside experiences have also been curated to spotlight cultural encounters and regional cuisine.
These could mean guided explorations of bustling street markets in Bangkok, snorkeling and kayaking in Philippines' Palawan and Puerto Princesa waters, marine safaris and whale watching in Mossel Bay, South Africa, to encountering the endemic lemur species while exploring ylang-ylang plantations at Andoany (Hell-Ville) on Nosy Be, Madagascar.
For passengers wanting more, extended journeys of over 40 nights can be booked. Extraordinary Expeditions offers four journeys:
23 December 2028 (40 nights) – Bangkok to Singapore
10 February 2029 (42 nights) – Bali to Mombasa
7 April 2029 (45 nights) – Cape Town to Athens
30 November 2028 (128 nights) – Kobe to Cape Town
