Record quarter for Atlas Ocean Voyages surpasses wave period

Atlas Ocean Voyages has reported “unprecedented demand” and “record-breaking sales” for the third quarter, surpassing results seen during the wave period.

The quarter was the expedition specialist’s highest-grossing quarter to date, exceeding the previous record set in the first quarter of 2024.

Atlas Ocean voyages posted double-digit year-on-year sales revenue growth, with the majority of bookings for 2026.

This led to 2026 occupancy being “significantly ahead” of the same time last year, and positioning 2025 to be a record full year.

Late demand was also “remarkably strong” during the quarter, leaving limited availability for the 2025-26 Antarctica season, the line said.

 “Our team is excelling on all fronts,” Atlas Oceans Voyages president and chief executive James Rodriguez said.

“From our sales teams in the field working closely with travel partners to position Atlas as a top choice for travellers seeking immersive and inspiring adventures, to our shipboard teams who consistently deliver exceptional service and culinary experiences both on board and ashore, the results are evident.”

Atlas Ocean Voyages executive vice-president of global sales Kristian Anderson said: “As part of our Trade First sales strategy, we’ve recently added to our sales and guest services teams to provide even greater accessibility and stronger strategic partnerships with our travel advisor community. 

“With the addition of our expanded Partner Sales Specialist team, we are better equipped than ever to support advisors directly, while our new dedicated Concierge team offers elevated services, from arranging transfers to curating pre- and post-cruise land and hotel programmes, as well as shore excursions.

“These enhancements reflect our commitment to making it easier for our partners to do business with us and to deliver the exceptional experiences that Atlas is known for.”
