SAFETY
Passengers that embark in Nomads adventures, can be calmed and
relaxed, because the Atmosphere is the perfect combination of
comfort and security in its maximum level. Everything in our
boat is thought to offer the maximum security on board, to give
to our guests an experience where their utmost concern is if
the next expedition course will be towards a hidden lagoon in
the middle of exuberant forests, or to discover millenarians
glaciers.
The
entire ship will comply with the rules/regulations of the Classification
Society of Germany Gemanischer Lloyd. This means that all essential

of the state under which flag it will sail (Chile). These national
rules follow recommendations of international organizations
as IMO (International Maritime Organization) and SOLAS (Safety
of Life at Sea) and under the special safety standards of a
Passenger Vessel.
GOURMET
DINING
The Nomads Patagonian adventure acquires an entire new meaning
aboard Atmosphere with the delicious culinary varieties, refined
Chilean wine tastings and the joy of newfound friendships in
beautiful surroundings.
Nomads'
gastronomic offer is one of the treats passengers can experience
on board. Nomads of the Seas is the gateway to a unique and
yet unexplored gastronomy: Patagonian cuisine. Its distinctive
feature is the wide variety of native ingredients found in the
southern part of Chile and used in traditional Chilean preparations.
Its repertoire includes fish such as salmon, grouper and hake;
among shellfish are abalone, sea urchin, krill and king crab.
Red meats include lamb, beef and also a few game birds.
Patagonian
food preparations will be presented in frequent gourmet events
throughout the journey aboard Atmosphere. One of these will
be dedicated to the savouring of calafate, a tasty black fruit
that grows in Patagonia. There will also be special wine tastings
featuring the best Chilean varieties, including some which are
very hard to find in the market.
An
inaugural dinner will follow, which will provide an introduction
to Patagonian cuisine. Guests will be able to share preparations
such as antipasto, pickled quail, duck confit, and shrimp, to
name a few, in a wide array of presentations.
Farewell
at Nomads includes an extraordinary dinner/tasting event which
will allow guests to travel across Patagonian cuisine, as well
as Chilean cuisine, both at their best. These delicious Patagonian
meals are paired off with suitable, refined Chilean wines of
different varieties.
SPA
After an intense day out in Patagonia, replenish your energy
at Atmosphere's spa, which includes a sauna and thalassotherapy
services.
On
the fifth floor you will find the thalassotherapy bathtubs,
heated at 37ºC, the steam filling the air with pleasant
marine aromas. Submerging in these waters is a great way to
relax after an excursion. The benefits of thalassotherapy treatments
come from the rich biological and chemical elements present
in sea water, which help to soothe diverse pains and illnesses,
along with the relaxation provided by the waters heat.
The
sauna is also located on the fifth floor, alongside the tubs.
The feeling of its replenishing heat in contrast with the cool
Patagonian breeze is a great way to get your body energized.
This service, managed by specialized personnel, is available
at all times.
