Winning awards – Atlas Ocean Voyages Best Restaurant At Sea
Atlas Ocean Voyages has been recognised with the prestigious award of ‘Best Restaurant at Sea’ at last week’s 2025 F&B@Sea Awards at the Seatrade Conference in Miami.
The award showcases Atlas Ocean Voyages’ dedication to providing an exceptional food and beverage experience aboard its yachts. The Atlas surpassed the standards set by other finalists, Crystal Cruises and Seabourn Cruise Line, to achieve this accomplishment. This achievement highlights Atlas Ocean Voyages’ strong position within the expedition and broader cruise line industry.
Atlas Ocean Voyages is represented in Australia by small ship cruise specialist, Cruise Traveller. Congratulating Atlas Ocean Voyages on the award, Cruise Traveller Managing Director, Joseph O’Sullivan, said: “While the Australasian market is increasingly aware of Atlas’ stunning and intimate ships, cutting edge polar expeditions and bespoke regional adventures, this award brings in to focus the outstanding service, ambience and dining that are also an integral part of the Atlas Ocean Voyages experience.”
Atlas Ocean Voyages International Sales Director, Bernie Carter, said: “A special shout-out goes to our Executive Corporate Chef, Rene Aflenzer, and Director of Hotel Operations, David Sagrista, for their unwavering dedication and leadership in delivering an exceptional and consistent product experience. Your hard work and innovation have truly set us apart. Congratulations to the entire F&B team, both onboard and ashore, for this remarkable accomplishment. This award is a testament to your passion and commitment to excellence.”
Director of Hotel Operations for Atlas Ocean Voyages, David Sagrista, who accepted the F&B@Sea award in Miami added: “This is a big recognition for our team and for Atlas Ocean Voyages. It shows our passion for great food and our commitment to sustainability at sea. We work hard on things like mindful portioning, reducing waste and helping guests understand how we can all make a difference. This award means a lot to us.”
