Oceanwide Expeditions Partners with VacationPort to Strengthen Digital Presence in North America

The polar expedition cruise company seeks to better connect with travel agents & clients in the U.S. & Canada

 

Oceanwide Expeditions is excited to announce a new partnership aimed at significantly expanding its reach and visibility within the North American market. This collaboration represents a significant step in the company’s growth, reinforcing its presence strategically and in a high-value region.

 

“We are delighted to partner with VacationPort in this expansion of our offering for travel agents and clients based in North America. One of our core business tenets is to positively impact people’s lives through unforgettable polar experiences at the edges of the world. With our product more accessible & visible, this becomes a reality for more of our guests.” – Rémi Bouysset, CEO, Oceanwide Expeditions

 

“VacationPort has achieved a threefold increase in Impressions and Detailed Offer Views (DOVs) within just one year – a reflection of our ongoing mission to support travel advisors by streamlining access to exceptional travel experiences, and a clear demonstration of the tangible results that this mission continues to drive. Oceanwide Expeditions enriches our platform with a truly remarkable offering: experiences crafted for profound, immersive journeys that inspire clients to discover the true essence of the polar regions,” said Sarah Bauman, Vice President of Product Management for VacationPort.

 

Leading the sales efforts for this initiative is Toto Vermue, USA and Canada Sales Manager, who recently relocated to the U.S. to enhance support for partners and clients in the market. The partnership will improve the connection between North American travel agents and clients with Oceanwide Expeditions’ industry-leading polar expedition cruise itineraries, further bolstering the company’s digital presence in the region.

 

This announcement arrives as Oceanwide Expeditions is set to commence the Antarctic 25/26 season, running from late October to March. During this period, the company’s vessels explore breathtaking itineraries throughout the sub-Antarctic, Antarctic Peninsula, and Weddell Sea, exploring iconic locations including Deception Island, Snow Hill Island, and South Georgia.

 

Oceanwide Expeditions’ Arctic season runs from late May to October. Expeditions typically depart from Longyearbyen, Svalbard, and later in the season, from ports in Iceland and Greenland.

 

Through this partnership, advisors on VacationPort can seamlessly integrate Oceanwide Expeditions’ immersive and distinguished offerings directly into their digital channels. They can now more effectively inspire clients and cultivate demand for these truly unparalleled expedition cruises.
