Kristian C. Anderson Joins Atlas Ocean Voyages as EVP, Global Sales

Atlas Ocean Voyages has named veteran cruise executive Kristian C. Anderson as executive vice president of global sales. He is in charge of leading all sales initiatives as the brand strengthens its trade-first strategy. He will report directly to president and CEO James A. Rodriguez.

“It is an exciting time at Atlas Ocean Voyages and our travel advisor partners as we continue to raise the bar on the guest experience and elevate our brand, now adding Kristian C. Anderson to the executive team,” Rodriguez said. “I, like so many of our industry colleagues, have admired his commitment to advisors over the years, and his leadership position in the trade community is a welcome addition to our team of cruise veterans.”

Anderson most recently served as senior vice president of global sales at The Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection, a position he left this past May. He has also held executive roles at Uniworld Boutique River Cruises, Silversea Cruises, and Qatar Airways.

“Under James’s leadership, the team at Atlas Ocean Voyages has built a highly regarded brand that doesn’t rely simply on name recognition but advances with an intentional commitment to deliver elevated, authentic guest experiences and trusted value with their industry partnerships,” Anderson said.

Atlas Ocean Voyages, which debuted in 2021 with its first ship, brands itself as luxury expedition and offers three styles of expedition voyages: Polar, Epicurean, and Cultural.
