A new luxury cruise line just debuted, as the industry continues to make its steady comeback amid the COVID-19 pandemic.

In 2019, Portugal-based Mystic Invest Holdings - which oversees several cruise brands - unveiled its plans for the Atlas Ocean Voyages brand.

The new cruise line is now fully operating out of Fort Lauderdale, Florida with its first expedition vessel, the World Navigator.

The new brand is a long time coming: It's been two decades since the last debut of a new luxury cruise line, Alberto Aliberti, Atlas Ocean Voyages' president, said.

At the moment, the expedition ship is Atlas Ocean Voyages’ only vessel, but the cruise line has plans to unveil four more ships through 2023.
