This New Cruise Line Just Launched a Ship in Antarctica — Here's What It's Like on Board

Atlas Ocean Voyages, which launched in 2021, now has a second ship: World Traveller.

Courtesy of Atlas Ocean Voyages

"It's my third trip to Antarctica," I heard one passenger say to another as we touched down in Ushuaia, Argentina, where we'd board Atlas Ocean Voyages' brand-new ship World Traveller.  

"Really?" the second passenger asked.

"Of course not," laughed the first.

I chuckled to myself. It was, in fact, my third trip to Antarctica. Like the vast majority of my fellow guests, it was our vessel's very first voyage to the White Continent. It was also the first trip to Antarctica for Atlas Ocean Voyages president and CEO James Rodriguez, who joined the cruise line in August after two decades with Oceania Cruises.

As a repeat Antarctic visitor — and as a travel writer developing a focus on polar expeditions — my mission on board was not to check off my seventh continent, but to see what both our ship, World Traveller , and our cruise line, the year-old Atlas Ocean Voyages, were all about.

World Traveller is the second ship in the Atlas Ocean Voyage fleet, following World Navigator, which launched in 2021. The ships are, in a way, fraternal twins — they are both custom-built, Ice Class 1B-certified ships with identical layouts but entirely different design schemes. While World Navigator takes on an art deco-meets-midcentury glam, World Traveller is all about la dolce vita yachting, per the cruise line, and, in my opinion, classic New England nautical sophistication. The entire ship is clad in wood paneling and bedecked with blue-and-white textiles and black-and-white photographs of vintage ships. It's all comfortable, understated luxury, and a divine place to spend two days at sea when crossing the Drake Passage.

As for amenities, there are all your standard players: a lecture hall, a main-deck bar and lounge, an all-window observation lounge on the top deck called The Dome that doubles as an entertainment venue, a running track, and a L'Occitane spa with treatment rooms, a sauna, and a relaxation room (OK, that might not be so standard). There's also an outdoor pool and hot tub. While I wasn't brave enough to go for a swim, I did take a dip in the hot tub during a light snowfall, with icebergs to both port and starboard.

For dining, there's one main restaurant, which serves a buffet breakfast with an à la carte option, a buffet lunch, and a blend of buffet and seated dinners, with the latter being more popular. There is an outdoor grill, but it's understandably closed on polar itineraries. ( World Traveller , as the name suggests, will sail all around the world, including to destinations with much milder climates.) We should note that this is an all-inclusive cruise, so there is no additional charge for meals and house drinks, including wine and cocktails.

My absolute favorite feature on board, however, was the grab-and-go café Paula's Pantry, where you could order both hot and cold beverages and pick up light bites (yogurts, paninis, salads). My favorite snack was the house-made granola bars. Most expedition ships adhere to a standard three meals per day, plus occasional snacks at tea time or happy hour, so grab-and-go is a true luxury. "[Paula's Pantry] is the best thing about this ship," remarked naturalist Jean-Roch de Susanne, an Antarctic veteran.

All in, the ship is an extraordinary environment to come back to after scrambling up a snowy ridge next to waddling (or tobogganing) chinstrap penguins, kayaking next to a curious young humpback whale, or getting splashed in the face with icy salt water as a gale picks up during your scenic Zodiac cruise — all things that happened during our voyage. (At least there's always a hot drink waiting for you in the mudroom upon your return.)

The Excursions

There are very strict rules about excursions in Antarctica, issued by the International Association of Antarctica Tour Operators (IAATO), which are designed to protect the natural environment. Only 100 passengers from a ship can be on land at any given time, and ships that carry more than 200 passengers are limited to specific landing sites that can handle larger capacities. And ships that carry more than 500 passengers can't do landings at all. Fortunately, World Traveller carries a maximum of 184 passengers in Antarctica — and on our sailing, we had exactly 100, which meant that we could all get off the ship at once.

To lead excursions, Atlas Ocean Voyages has recruited a blended team of both Antarctic veterans and Antarctic first-timers who have honed their skills guiding in other regions of the world, such as the coasts of the Pacific Northwest or the mountains and salt flats of Bolivia. Our expedition staff was led by Jonathan Zaccaria, who not only has experience on Antarctic ships, but also at land-based research stations. He has worked at both the Dumont d'Urville Station near the emperor penguin colony made famous by the documentary The March of the Penguins , as well as the Concordia Research Station in one of the most remote locations on the planet: Antarctica's Dome C.

In Antarctica, there are three main types of excursions: landings, Zodiac cruises, and water sports. And on World Traveller, we experienced them all. Landings often require a bit of athleticism, whether that's hiking through deep snow or across uneven rocks, or hoisting yourself into the Zodiac as the frigid sea rushes up to your knees. But they also afford you up-close and personal moments with wildlife, particularly penguins, sea birds, and seals. When conditions aren't ideal for a landing, there's often the option of a Zodiac cruise, in which you dart around icebergs and along shorelines to explore without putting your feet on terra firma. And finally, there are water sports, like kayaking and stand-up paddleboarding, when conditions allow.

As is standard with expedition travel, a schedule is never set in stone. Everything depends on the conditions of the sea, the air, and the land — and many times, the expedition leader and captain won't know those conditions until they arrive at a given destination. So flexibility is the name of the game. Every evening at a nightly recap in the lecture hall, Zaccaria would lay out for us potential plans for the following day. I'd say about half of them went off without a hitch, while the other half were Plan Bs or Cs or Ds. Because the expedition staff and the crew are so nimble, it's pretty easy for guests to roll with the changes, though it does sometimes mean early-morning PA announcements advising guests of the schedule shifts.

Expedition travel can be very overwhelming, and no matter how much research you do, it's not easy to prepare yourself for the experience. "I've been selling this voyage as an expedition, but to actually experience it really puts it into perspective," Rodriguez told Travel + Leisure . "You're waking up, going to these briefings that are explaining to you the weather conditions or what you may see out there, and taking safety into consideration, then putting on all the gear and getting ready to actually go out. There's an element of uncertainty — you don't know what you're going to see. And that's exciting, but a little bit surprising."

The Onboard Activities

As is standard on every expedition, lectures by the naturalists help immerse guests in the unique environment around them. On our voyage, they ranged from talks about the seabirds we saw around the ship on the Drake Passage to the geopolitical complexities of the Antarctic Treaty. The majority of the lectures take place during sea days, but I appreciated that Atlas Ocean Voyages fit a few in during our time in Antarctica, too. Plus, in the evenings, Zaccaria organized screenings of documentaries every other night — including one that he filmed during his time at Dumont D'Urville.

Those educational components, however, were balanced with classic luxury cruise activities, such as afternoon tea in The Dome, piano music at cocktail hour, and evening musical performances by cruise director Michael Shapiro. And as we were on the inaugural Antarctic voyage, we had a special guest on board, singer Asijah Pickett, to provide additional entertainment. Between the two, plus our pianist Chase Chandler, we were regaled with soul, Broadway, pop, and even opera on select evenings throughout our voyage.

I'll admit that I'm not always a fan of traditional cruise activities in Antarctica, because for me, the breathtaking landscapes, inquisitive wildlife, and overwhelming sense of nature's grandeur are the primary reason I keep returning. That said, when there's downtime on the ship — in the event of bad weather that cancels or shortens excursions, for instance, which happened several times during our voyage — I appreciated having more to do than read a book in the lounge or take a nap in my cabin. Plus, I recognize not everyone has my precise taste when it comes to polar expeditions, and some passengers might pass on an excursion in favor of relaxing at the spa. (I, too, love a good spa treatment, but I scheduled mine during our sea days on the Drake so that I wouldn't miss an excursion.)

The balance of expedition and traditional cruising is where Atlas Ocean Voyages absolutely hits the mark, and it's the main reason the cruise line stands out to me. My deep desire for education was perfectly sated — as was my desire to dance (or, rather, bop about in my chair, cocktail in hand) to Shapiro's rousing rendition of Copacabana. 

The Cruise Line

The cruise industry is an intriguing ecosystem, where there's a healthy blend of first-time cruisers, casual cruisers, and die-hard cruisers who sail multiple times per year. In that latter group, loyalty is everything. I've been on river cruises with guests who have sailed with their line of choice more than 50 times. So when it comes to launching a new cruise line, finding an audience is a tough task. Lucky for Atlas Ocean Voyages, which just launched in 2021, Rodriguez is no stranger to that challenge. He was with Oceania from the start, so he knows all about the importance of developing a brand identity.

"This was a brand that was conceived and created in a pre-pandemic world," said Rodriguez. "So what I did when I came in, having the benefit of hindsight, is said, 'Let's look at this in a post-pandemic world, where people are really wanting to reconnect with the world that they left.'"

Originally, Atlas Ocean Voyages was branded as an ultra-luxury cruise line with adventurous, off-the-beaten-path itineraries. But Rodriguez notes that in the current travel climate, people aren't necessarily looking for those kinds of trips. So, he's rejiggered the itineraries to focus more on the familiar with a few surprises thrown in. "I tried to mix in some of the marquee ports, like the Romes and the Barcelonas and Ibizas that Americans know about and have been to, with yacht-style ports in places they've never been to before," says Rodriguez.

That said, World Traveller and World Navigator were designed with polar destinations in mind, so Antarctica will still be on the docket. Traveller will cruise Antarctica until March 2023 when it heads to the Mediterranean. So where does Atlas Ocean Voyages sit within the rapidly expanding field of Antarctic cruising? In my own limited experience in Antarctica, plus what I've heard from expedition staff across the industry, polar expedition ships often skew more toward hardcore expedition or more toward traditional luxury cruising. Atlas Ocean Voyages has a surprising balance of both, where I felt completely satisfied in terms of education and expedition, but also in terms of a luxury shipboard experience, from amenities to entertainment.

"There were a lot of guests where either the husband wanted to come and do this, but the wife was reluctant, or the wife really wanted to do it, but the husband was reluctant," said Rodriguez of our voyage. "I think we're that perfect product to offer experiences for both."

Cruise ship passengers reveal their number holiday hack ‘you just have to take advantage of’

Cruise ship hacks can make your experience so much better.

Tom Earnshaw

Holiday hacks can turn your average week in the sun in to the break of a lifetime, so it's always worth searching the web for the latest bit of info from those who know what they're talking about.

And it is advice that applies particularly so to those who are getting ready to set sail on a cruise ship across the world .

Millions of people head on to the open seas every single year for a cruise ship holiday . From a smaller trip around the Caribbean or a Scandinavian fjord excursion, to a round the world experience lasting for nine months , there really is something for everyone.

The internet is full of advice for those heading on a cruise ship, including from those who work on the vessels themselves . It includes particular advice, especially around topics such as how to hack the cost of the drink packages , including how much you need to drink for it to be worth the money .

And over on Reddit , another hack has been backed by a number of cruise ship passengers in a thread asking for secret things to do on the boats.

Asking for advice, one person heading on to a cruise ship said: "I'm going on a cruise for the first time and I was wondering if there were any secret things to do on a cruise ship a first timer wouldn’t know about?

"I’m not looking for travel or packing advice, there’s more than enough of that on YouTube. Also the cruise is booked already and can not be changed, so I’m not looking for cabin recommendations either.

"While never having been on a cruise, I find the ship itself rather interesting. So what I actually am asking for is, if somebody has a tip for how to get a good look behind the scenes, without breaking any rules of course.

"Or something I can only do on a cruise ship. Eating and drinking, swimming, lying in the sun, while definitely planning to do all that, I can do all of that at any beach or even at home.

"But I want to experience a few things that make a cruise special and can’t seem to find a lot of these. So if anyone has a recommendation, I would be more than grateful."

One recurring theme was taking advantage of the views combined with a lack of people, which comes down to one thing people don't like doing on their holidays: getting up early.

"Get up early one morning and go for a walk around the ship," one person replied. "6.30am or a half hour before sunrise is fine. Walk the upper deck if it's open. The solitude is amazing.

"The only people you will see are crew cleaning, a couple other early birds (usually older folks) and maybe a drunk that's still up.

"Sit in a chair, see the sun rise, watch the water go by, thank the crew for their hard work. I always think it's cool that the ship is full of passengers and crew, and it's still so quiet and peaceful."

Another cruise-goer agreed, saying: "Did this yesterday as we came into Alaska... saw the sunrise over the Tongass National Forest and the mountains. So peaceful and quiet and beautiful. Just me, the view… and the nice lady cleaning the windows lol."

A third said it's a great time to really take in your surroundings without the noise of a sound system, pool area, or general chitter chatter. They wrote: "It's really fun to experience the ship when there's hardly anyone around and your senses aren't being assaulted by music and other live entertainment everywhere. It's just peace and quiet on this giant floating city with panoramic views."

Review: World Voyager

What is the line?  Atlas Ocean Voyages

Name of ship? World Voyager

Passenger occupancy?  198

Itinerary?  9-Night Ushuaia Roundtrip

Start out with the big picture—what is this cruise line known for?

Traditional expedition ship meets luxury yacht in Atlas Ocean Voyages’ small fleet of vessels. This relatively new line, which sails under the Portuguese flag and currently offers three ships, approaches expedition cruising with the ethos of a luxe but relaxed all-inclusive resort: the décor is contemporary modern, the staff is affable and proficient, the complimentary cocktails flow freely, and much of the cuisine is farm-to-table.

Tell us about the ship in general:

World Voyager , the third ship in Atlas’ fleet, accommodates 198 passengers and offers a one-to-one guest-to-staff ratio, which means you’ll likely be on a first-name basis with the expedition crew and front-of-house staff by the second day of a sailing. Much like sister ship World Traveller , the interior design of this vessel favors a subdued palette in shades of vanilla and taupe with pops of cerulean blue, buttery yellow, and ochre. There are plenty of spaces to spread out and take in the spellbinding views, including a relaxed lounge with floor-to-ceiling windows, by the outdoor pool and hot tub, and, my favorite, in the spa’s relaxation room and sauna.

Who is on board?

I was surprised at the diversity of the crowd, which included a handful of twenty-somethings and solo travelers, older Millennials from the US, India, Australia, Canada, and Europe traveling with friends or with parents, newly retired couples, and a few honeymooners. I traveled with my teenage daughter, and though there were no kids or other teens on the ship, she quickly became part of a clique of younger adults who dined together and played cards in the lounge.

Describe the cabins .

World Voyager has 100 cabins spread across decks 3, 5, and 6. My daughter and I stayed in a Horizon Stateroom, a cozy 270-square-foot room with two single beds (which can be converted to a queen) separated from a sitting area with a sofa and coffee table, swivel chair, and a desk fitted with a mini fridge and Nespresso machine. The marble bathroom featured not only L’Occitane products and a walk-in rain shower with body jets but also enough space to store our personal toiletries. A highlight of our cabin was the Juliette balcony, featuring floor-to-ceiling glass and a top-drop electric window we could open at the touch of a button from a panel by the bed. A step up in category, the Veranda Deluxe and Horizon Deluxe cabins are configured to fit a separate sitting area and walk-out balcony.

Tell us about the crew.

From the cabin and kitchen staff to the waiters, bartenders, and spa attendants—everyone I encountered on this voyage was gracious and eager to help. However, it was clear that this was an inaugural Antarctica voyage not just for the ship but also for many of the crew, some of whom seemed to struggle to find their sea legs as we crossed a tempestuous Drake Passage. Service at mealtimes was spotty during those first few days of our journey, but things got better as the days went on. The expedition staff, led by an entertaining Polar veteran from France, was an interesting mix of experienced and more novice guides, all of whom were not just thrilled to be working on the ship and headed to Antarctica but also to share their expertise in wildlife, the environment, and the geopolitical history of the continent.

What food and drink options are available on board?

Unlike a big ship with tons of restaurant options, this yacht-like vessel offers a main dining room, called Madeira, serving three meals a day. At breakfast there’s a combination of buffet and standard menu items (made-to-order pancakes, omelettes, and French toast) while lunch is a buffet-only affair. Dishes get an elevated treatment at dinnertime, with five-course menus offering a variety of rotating international cuisine options, including an always-present section of Portuguese dishes (a nod to Portugal-based parent company Mystic Cruises).

Sustainable dining is a focus on all Atlas ships, which is highlighted by slow food and zero-waste principles, as well as tasty vegetarian options, such as the always-present plant-based steak. Surprisingly, given that the ship departs from Ushuaia, there were no wines from Argentina or Chile on the menu; the wine list focused on European labels, with many hailing from Portugal.

Paula’s Pantry is a grab-and-go café that serves caffeine drinks as well as smoothies, juice shots, house made muesli and yogurt, tasty granola bars, and heartier snacks like pizza and paninis. The 7Aft Grill by the pool is not open on Antarctica itineraries, but the menu focuses on barbecue fare and grilled meats. And, of course, there’s 24-hour complimentary room service. There are two bars on the ship: the spacious Atlas Lounge, outfitted with plush sofas and swivel chaises surrounding a variety of coffee tables, is perfect for an anytime drink and conversation; and on the top deck, the Dome Observation Lounge is the place to go for afternoon tea and evening cocktails.

Is there a spa on board and is it worth visiting?

What the spa lacks in space, it more than makes up for in the L’Occitane-branded treatments and the stellar service. I spent many hours just daydreaming and marveling at the sea from a heated lounger bed in the relaxation room, as well as unwinding in the sauna, which I particularly appreciated after doing the polar plunge.

What about activities and entertainment?

You won’t find any aqua fitness classes, aerobics, or conga lines on this ship. Instead, you can hit the small gym, which is fitted with a pair of treadmills and stationary bikes as well as free weights, yoga mats, and exercise balls. On the top deck you can do laps on the outdoor running track, featuring arguably the most mesmerizing views on the planet.

If the weather isn’t cooperating, which it probably won’t be on an Antarctica journey, the expedition staff offers daily lectures, as well as afternoon documentaries—pick up a bag of popcorn and a drink on the way into the auditorium. There are also evening performances, such as ballads sung in English, French, and Portuguese by a skilled guest singer who was accompanied on the keys by the ship’s pianist. On other occasions, there might be trivia nights based on Antarctica knowledge. One night, the staff and crew performed a variety show—some performed traditional dances from their respective countries; others played an instrument; some brave souls sang a capella.

How was the experience for families?

I can’t imagine many parents would want to bring kids younger than 12 to Antarctica, and indeed Atlas only welcomes children eight and older. When not out on an expedition or dining with other guests, my fifteen-year-old spent the time reading in the lounge, working out, or watching movies in our cabin.

Where did it sail and how were the excursions? Did anything stand out?

I sailed to Antarctica from Ushuaia on a nine-night itinerary, though taking into consideration that expeditions rely on perfect conditions, I would highly recommend Atlas’ 11-night journey. Every day, the captain decides where the ship will navigate according to local conditions, and the expedition staff briefs guests on the planned activities for the following day. There are typically two excursions per day, which might include Zodiac cruises, landings, and water sports. During my November sailing, I had signed up for optional activities (offered at an additional cost), such as kayaking, stand up paddle boarding, and camping, all of which were canceled due to rough weather. The ability to be flexible, to be patient, and go with the flow is paramount on an Antarctica expedition.

Are there any stand out sustainability or green initiatives about this cruise?

Atlas puts considerable effort on its zero-waste principles and plant-based dining options, which aligns with the philosophy of a growing number of travelers—and not only in the luxury segment. The long-term plan from Atlas’ Executive Chef, Rene Aflenzes, is to bring a bit of the slow-food philosophy to the high seas.

Finally, give a sentence or two on why the cruise is worth booking.

If you are keen on an all-inclusive polar adventure that is at once intimate yet casually elegant, World Voyager is a worthy choice. This young cruise line attracts an equally young (the average age on my sailing was around 40) audience of adventurers; their idea of dressing up for cocktails means pairing an Arc’teryx jacket with a telephoto lens camera or binoculars to not miss a wildlife encounter.

Inside the World's First Sustainable Residential Ship

Dubbed MV Narrative, the vessel will also feature 20 restaurants, a zero-waste farmer’s market and a bowling alley.

If you're a fan of life on the high seas, this new project will let you travel them year-round in luxe accommodations.

On Tuesday, private residential ship maker Storylines and Croatian shipyard Brodosplit announced they have signed a ship building contract to create what they're calling the world's first environmentally conscious residential ship. The 753-foot vessel, dubbed MV Narrative, has begun its engineering phase. The development's retail value is estimated at $1.5 billion.

The massive ship will have room for 547 residences, and the companies believe it will be the first of its kind to be powered by liquid natural gas propulsion. Its maiden voyage will traverse hundreds of destinations across six continents, and stops at ports are expected to span between one and five days.

As an example, one sample itinerary shows the ship spending over a month off the coast of Italy, which would allow for longer offshore adventures (in this case, hiring a car and touring Tuscany for a few days before getting back on board the ship). Reps for the operators say MV Narrative will be "following the sun", meaning the direction of its first voyage will be determined by the time of year it sets sail.

Storylines and Brodosplit are also factoring in a host of other features that will separate the MV Narrative from run-of-the-mill cruise ships. The floating community will have a post office, school, library, hospital, bank and even office spaces that evoke the familiarities of life on land. But that's not to say you won't have fun onboard.

The vessel will offer residents 20 dining and bar venues, as well as a number of pools. The waterfront marina (aft, lower level) includes access to personal watercraft, a bowling alley, a hydroponic garden farm and an open-air fitness area with racquet sports, a yoga sun deck and a running track. A 10,000-square-foot wellness center will also be located onboard. Once finished, it will be the largest of its kind at sea with designated spa and gym rooms and its own anti-aging clinic.

The ship will also convert its waste into energy to lessen its environmental footprint. The solar-powered hydroponic garden will also help keep fresh food accessible without consuming excess resources. These will be available through a zero-waste farmer's market will be where everything for sale is either compostable or recyclable.

MV Narrative is the brainchild of Storylines founders Shannon Lee and Alister Punton. Their goal is to "give global travelers the ability to live out their passion for exploration while still maintaining work, family and home life," according to a statement. "We are pleased to be building this innovative ship with Storylines," said Tomislav Debeljak, president of Brodosplit's board. "There are many new green technologies and ship systems we are pioneering, which makes this a very exciting project for us."

The residences will range from $1 million to $8 million, with a limited number of 24-year leases available starting at $647,000.

A fire has broken out on Icon of the Seas – the world’s largest cruise ship – causing it to lose power while docked in Mexico .

No one was injured in the “minor” blaze on Tuesday while the ship was in Costa Maya, a Royal Caribbean spokesperson told The Independent.

The fire was quickly extinguished, the spokesperson said.

Power was only lost briefly, as the backup systems kicked on right away and the main power was restored.

The fire started in the crew area of the ship but it’s not immediately clear what caused the fire, the spokesperson said, adding that the vessel will continue on its journey as scheduled.

The ship is scheduled to head to Cozumel, Mexico, on Wednesday, according to CruiseMapper .

The colossal cruise ship first set sail from Miami in January. Dubbed “the largest ship in the world,” the Icon of the Seas spans 1,200 feet long and holds up to 5,610 passengers across its 20 decks . The ship is operated by 2,350 crew members.

The massive vessel boasts seven pools, including the “largest pool at sea,” the “world’s largest waterpark at sea,” six waterslides and nine whirlpools. In addition to water activities, Icon of the Seas also has a rock climbing wall, Royal Caribbean’s first food hall, a beach-themed carousel, an arcade, and a mini-golf course.

The vessel touts more than 20 ways to dine, and more than 15 bars and “nightlife experiences,” including a karaoke bar, spread across its eight “neighborhoods.”

When images of the ship first launched, many expressed distaste for it, calling it a “monstrosity,” a “nightmare,” and “human lasagne.”

But the Royal Caribbean president Jason Liberty called it “biggest, baddest ship on the planet.” When bookings opened for the ship started in October 2023, Royal Caribbean had its strongest sales day in its 53-year history, the company noted.

World Voyager Wiki

On November 15, 2018, the shipowner Mystic Cruises officially announced the contract with WestSEA Shipyard (Viana do Castelo, Portugal) for building two more vessels. Deliveries were scheduled for 2020 (World Voyager) and 2021 (World Navigator).

All Mystic Invest newbuilds as investments were backed by ICBC Leasing - part of ICBC Ltd (Chinese multinational bank, ranked world's largest by assets, deposits, loans, customers and employees). The shipbuilding financing was supported by Portuguese banks (during construction) and ICBCL Leasing funding (following delivery) through sale and charter-back of the vessel, with an obligation to repurchase it on maturity. Mystic Invest intends to build a 10-ship fleet of the same design.

In August 2017 were completed design's tank tests. The testing water tank and ship model were conducted by the Wageningen-based MARIN (Maritime Research Institute Netherlands).

In 2018 (February 20 through March 1), Nicko Tours scheduled a total of 10 roadshows in Germany to promote the company's new "ocean cruising" business. Each of the shows started with a casual get-together and buffet with finger food, followed by a presentation of the vessel and its Nicko cruise itineraries. Then travel agents enjoyed full meals and gourmet desserts.

The vessel's first Captain was Michael Wilhelm Block.

In September 2023, AOV announced that World Voyager's godmother would be Harpreet Kaur Chandi/Preet Chandi (1988-born as Harpreet Chandi). She is a physiotherapist and British Army medical officer (Captain since 2016). In 2022, she joined the MBE (Most Excellent Order of the British Empire/1917-established chivalry order). Harpreet Kaur Chandi became famous after completing her 40-day solo expedition in Antarctica (leaving on Nov 7, 2021, from Hercules Inlet/Ronne Ice Shelf) traveling ~ 700 mi/1100 km, pulling a sled carrying 90 kg of cargo (food and supplies for 48 days). In 2022-2023 (November through January) during her second Antarctic expedition she became the first woman to cross Antarctica solo and unsupported, skiing the distance of 868 mi/1397 km between Hercules Inlet and Reedy Glacier.

On November 8th, 2023, was the ship's christening ceremony held dockside in Ushuaia Argentina . The naming event was led by the godmother (Chandi) and attended by James A. Rodriguez (AOV's President and CEO), the ship's Master (Captain Terje Ulset), local officials (including Monica Susana Urquiza/Vice Governor of Tierra del Fuego Province since 2019), AOV shareholders, travel agents and media representatives as well as by all the passengers on the inaugural sailing. After the ceremony started the 9-day Maiden Voyage (Antarctic Discovery itinerary).

World Voyager ship technology

The ship design is based on a Rolls-Royce expedition vessel platform developed by Giuseppe Tringali (Italian naval architect). It features an ice-strengthened hull (ice class 1B), top-notch automation and control system, modern propulsion (based on electrical pods / 360-degree azimuthing thrusters), dynamic positioning system (using GPS data to accurately maintain ship's position without anchoring), advanced water treatment system, hybrid powerplant (diesel-electric) with efficient marine engines (two Rolls-Royce engines running on ULSD / ultra-low-sulfur diesel).

The Rolls-Royce powerplant costs GBP 7 million (EUR 7,75 million / 8,9 million) and includes two main engines (Bergen C25-33L8P) and one auxiliary dual-fuel genset (Bergen C25-33L6P). The engines are connected to the ship's electric power system (Rolls-Royce SAVe CUBE) allowing them to operate efficiently at variable speeds. Rolls-Royce Promas propulsion is an integrated propeller-rudder system to optimize hydrodynamic efficiency. Promas include two controllable pitch propellers integrated with two flap rudders, steering gears and tunnel thrusters.

World Voyager is a cruise ship with hydro-jet propulsion (technology initially developed for military vessels). The ship is fitted with two SPJ Pump Jets by SCHOTTEL (model SPJ 82, total power output 670 kW) allowing silent navigation at 5 knots speed (9 kph). This is an alternative propulsion system as the hydrojets are used only in destinations with specific marine life. Both hydrojets pump water to propel the ship and similarly to the in-hull mounted Azipods (underwater azimuthing thrusters) can rotate 360 degrees. They also allow dynamic positioning (via GPS) to stabilize/fix the vessel without using propellers or anchors.

The vessel's draft is only 15 ft (4,7 m) allowing access to remote islands and unique coastal destinations. The ship has all 2 lifeboats (full-capacity) which are fully enclosed. Ship-to-shore communications are via Inmarsat Capsat Fleet 77 (satellite phone and Internet). Landings (passenger transportation) and coastal exploration voyages are served by the ship's own fleet of ten Zodiacs (motorized boats stored aft on Deck 7) and 2 loading stations.

The shipbuilder WestSEA ( Viana do Castelo, Portugal ) is owned by Martifer Group via the subsidiary Martifer SGPS. This is a family-owned holding company founded in 1990 (by the brothers Carlos and Jorge Martins), headquartered in Oliveira de Frades (Portugal) and Euronext Lisbon (stock exchange) listed since 2007. Martifer Group has over 3000 employees and specializes in metal construction and (since 2004) in renewable energy (wind and solar energy equipment production). Martifer Group is one of Europe's largest metal construction companies, with subsidiaries in Spain, Poland, Romania, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Germany, Brazil and Angola.
