A two-hundred-berth ship that takes only a hundred and forty into the ice

World Voyager left the WestSea yard, at Viana do Castelo in Portugal, and entered service in 2021. Nine thousand nine hundred and thirty-four gross tons, 126 metres long by 19 wide, eight decks, 98 cabins. Two hundred guests on paper, 117 crew, and capacity drops to 140 the moment she enters polar waters. She is she first sailed for nicko cruises before joining Atlas.

The hull is ice-strengthened, class 1B. Propulsion is hybrid diesel-electric: two Rolls-Royce Bergen engines and two SCHOTTEL pump jets that let her move in silence at five knots. That detail is not cosmetic. In front of a glacier or a pod of whales, propeller noise changes what you will see.

What the fare covers

This line makes a precise bet on what goes in the fare: it pays your flight. Included are round-trip air from selected US and Canadian gateways, prepaid gratuities, alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks, Wi-Fi, one complimentary shore excursion, a butler in the suites and binoculars aboard. For a traveller flying from Montréal to Ushuaia, the airfare is not a footnote in the budget.

The other school

Compare the other school. Greg Mortimer, with Aurora, includes no flight at all, but hands you a polar jacket to keep, lends you the boots, and pays your hotel night before an Antarctic embarkation. Two different bets, no lie in either: you simply need to know which one fits your departure.

What the calendar sells

23 departures are on sale on this page as we measured: 2 in 2026, 17 in 2027, 4 in 2028. Lengths run from 8 to 12 days, 12 coming up most often. The ports that recur: Reykjavik eleven times, Longyearbyen ten, Seville four, Las Palmas, Casablanca and Greenock-Glasgow two each. We count what the page shows, not what the line announces elsewhere.

What we do not know

Here is what we will not say. Atlas writes in one place “one complimentary shore excursion in select ports” and elsewhere “at every port”. Both wordings come from the line; we do not choose on its behalf, so have it clarified before you pay. Two ships of the same series went to Windstar before ever sailing under these colours — World Seeker became Star Seeker, World Explorer became Star Explorer. Two more remain on order, but their dates vary from one source to the next and we do not give them.

The neighbouring ships

Her two sisters, World Navigator and World Traveller, carry the same plan and the same cabins: what separates them is the calendar. The the line's own page explains the rest.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, round-trip air from selected US and Canadian gateways. That is this line's bet, and it is what most clearly separates it from its direct rival. Have it confirmed that your departure city is on the list before paying a deposit.
Yes, they are prepaid. Nothing is posted daily to your onboard account for service.
Yes, alcoholic and non-alcoholic. So is Wi-Fi, along with binoculars aboard and a butler in the suites.
One excursion is complimentary. The line writes in one place “in select ports” and elsewhere “at every port”: both wordings are its own, and we do not choose on its behalf. Have it clarified for your itinerary before you pay.
Two hundred on paper, with 117 crew. In polar waters capacity drops to 140, because the Antarctic Treaty limits how many people may land at once.
At the WestSea yard, at Viana do Castelo in Portugal. Nine thousand nine hundred and thirty-four gross tons, 126 metres long by 19 wide, eight decks and 98 cabins.
Yes, the hull is ice-strengthened, class 1B. It is not an icebreaker: it is a hull that takes sea ice, not one that opens it. The distinction matters when comparing itineraries.
Two Rolls-Royce Bergen engines and two SCHOTTEL pump jets let her move in silence at five knots. In front of a glacier or a pod of whales, propeller noise changes what you will see. It is this hull's most concrete argument.
23 when we measured: 2 in 2026, 17 in 2027, 4 in 2028. We count what the page shows, not what the line announces elsewhere.
From 8 to 12 days, 12 coming up most often.
No, no departure on this page touches Canada. Her sister World Navigator calls eight times at Churchill, in Manitoba.
Atlas Ocean Voyages is the American subsidiary of Mystic Invest, a Portuguese group. It was founded in September 2019 and is based in Fort Lauderdale.
Three sail and are sold on this site. Two ships of the same series went to Windstar before ever sailing under these colours: World Seeker became Star Seeker, delivered in December 2025, and World Explorer became Star Explorer, expected in December 2026. Two more remain on order, with dates that vary between sources.
The figure is published nowhere for this fleet. On an expedition ship the question goes beyond the cabin: Zodiac boarding happens off a platform, often in swell. Have the ship and the date validated with the line before the deposit.
