Small ship cruise line Atlas Ocean Voyages has announced that it has taken delivery of its new 200-guest expedition ship World Traveller, which will officially be named on November 20th.
The handover ceremony took place on board the ship at the West Sea shipyard in Portugal on October 7th, where the yacht-style vessel was constructed. From Portugal, the ship will reposition to Ushuaia, Argentina where she will be based for expeditions to Antarctica.

“This ceremony to mark the completion of the ship, and our acceptance of delivery, is just the first of a number of significant events over the next few weeks – including the ship’s official naming in Chilean Patagonia,” said James Rodriguez, the line’s president and CEO.
World Traveller is Atlas Ocean Voyages’ second vessel, joining sister ship World Navigator. Both ships will be named at a dual naming ceremony at Chile’s Garibaldi Glacier.
