Atlas Ocean Voyages has announced the inaugural season of the Atlas Adventurer.

The 400-guest luxury expedition sailing ship is set to join its fleet in November 2028.

The inaugural season’s expeditions start on November 6, 2028, in Kobe, Japan, and culminate in late spring 2029 in Athens, Greece, the company said in a press release.
