In this episode, we're speaking with James Rodriguez, the CEO of Atlas Ocean Voyages . Atlas’s ‘intimate yachting expeditions’, as they’re known, are taking expedition cruising to a whole new level. With less than 200 fellow explorers per voyage, these small ship voyages enable unparalleled access to some of the world’s most desirable locations. It’s more like chartering your own private yacht, than going on a large-scale traditional cruise. Expeditions at Atlas aren’t just about adventure either (though there’s plenty of that if you want it). These are voyages of discovery and cultural immersion, from watching wildlife in Antarctica to making paella with hand-picked ingredients from a Spanish farmer’s market. Atlas's intimate yachting expeditions immerse you in the destination, allowing you to savor once-in-a-lifetime moments and then come back onboard to relax in refined luxury. For James, traveling is one of the great joys of life. Here, he shares his passion, his expertise, and what to expect from an Atlas Ocean Voyage. We left filled with ideas and inspiration, and think you will too.

In this episode, Mary Jean Tully chats with Frank Del Rio, the president and CEO of Norwegian Cruise lines, who helped lead the cruise industry through its most difficult period in its history. In 2019, before the pandemic, over 2.7 million guests set sail with Norwegian. By mid 2020 there was no cruising. But, with cruising finally back on the agenda, we learn how Frank is steering Norwegian back into the red – or rather into the blue - and how you can enjoy Norwegian's signature hospitality. Part of that resurgence is Norwegian’s "freestyle cruising" concept, which was created by Frank, and features no enforced dress codes, no fixed dining times, and a whole lot of fun. So, jump aboard, find yourself a deck chair, and sit back as we head out to the high seas once again. At Tully Luxury Travel, Luxury is Defined by You.
