World Traveller Embarks on Her Inaugural Season
On November 19, 2022, Atlas Ocean Voyages’ newest yacht-style ship World Traveller came together with her sister ship for the first time ever at a special Dual Naming Ceremony.
Celebrations in the Beagle Channel’s Glacier Alley, including Zodiac safaris around the stunning Pia and Garibaldi Glaciers, invoked a sense of awe and wonder as fellow explorers connected with one another amid this remote destination.
“Both yacht-style vessels specialize in expeditions to some of nature’s most spectacular destinations,” said James Rodriguez, Atlas’ president and CEO. “What a historic weekend for Atlas! It was inspiring to name these two spectacular ships surrounded by majestic glaciers.”

With a champagne reception and unveiling the portraits of the ships’ godmothers amid the extraordinary Chilean fjords, the naming ceremony perfectly encompassed Atlas’ explorer spirit within an atmosphere of relaxed luxury. The yacht-style expedition amid the pristine Patagonia environment encouraged moments of intimacy for a highly personal, life-changing experience.
After a special, two-day celebration amid the glacial landscapes of Chile, World Traveller embarked on her maiden voyage to Antarctica on November 21, 2022. Voyaging through the Drake Passage, the ship’s captain expertly navigated to remote landings amid the South Shetland Islands and Antarctic Peninsula.
