The Unique Atlas Experience
Why Explore with Atlas

Intimate Yachting
Expeditions™
Atlas is the only fleet of all-inclusive luxury yachts offering year-round expeditions to worldwide destinations.
Intimate
Pertaining to the inmost character of a thing; promoting a feeling of privacy or close acquaintance
Yachting expeditions reveal the innermost character of a destination by exploring in small groups with local experts and veteran expedition teams who all possess an inquisitive, adventurous spirit. Sharing these meaningful experiences fosters a sense of community among guests and crew alike and inspires the genuinely caring, friendly, personalized service of the staff. With fewer than 200 explorers on board, the intimate atmosphere invites reflection and conversation, and each new revelation not only illuminates our unique differences but also cultivates a deeper understanding of what unites us as inhabitants of this fascinating planet.

Yachting
The action, sport or recreation of sailing on a relatively small leisure vessel, often associated with luxury.
Purpose-built for active exploration, our agile yachts navigate remote polar regions and sail upriver into cities like London and Seville with equal ease. An open-air deck just 30 feet above the surface of the sea, the Water’s Edge allows up-close scenery and wildlife viewing, while innovative engineering helps protect the pristine environments. Stylish interiors, spacious suites and all-inclusive luxuries evoke the relaxed, refined elegance that defines the yachting experience. From cuisine crafted for discerning palates to premium beverages and onboard gratuities, we’ve thoughtfully included each amenity with our compliments, infusing every moment with a sense of gracious comfort.

Expeditions
Transformative journeys with a purpose, particularly of in-depth exploration and discovery.
Expeditions set forth with a purpose, exploring a corner of the world in depth. Expedition teams venture into uncharted territory and also return time and again to far-flung destinations to discover new insights. While some may think of expeditions in terms of the polar regions, Atlas embarks on journeys of discovery the world over and year-round. Whether we’re sailing to Antarctica or the Mediterranean, we pursue immersive, authentic, revealing experiences, both on board and ashore. Every single voyage with Atlas is a transformative expedition that leaves explorers enriched, inspired and changed for the better.
