VacationPort Partners with Poseidon Expeditions as Award-Winning Polar Cruise Line  Expands in North America

Globally recognized for excellence in small-ship expedition cruising, Poseidon taps  VacationPort to grow visibility among luxury travel advisors across the U.S. and Canada.

 

[Portland, OR September 3, 2025] – VacationPort (formerly Passport Online Inc.), the leader  in travel content distribution, proudly welcomes Poseidon Expeditions to its extensive  catalog, oƯering travel advisors access to one of the world’s most acclaimed polar cruise  operators. This new partnership marks a strategic step in Poseidon’s expansion into the  North American market.  

 

This inclusion ensures that travel advisors using VacationPort can seamlessly showcase  Poseidon’s boutique expedition voyages to the Arctic and Antarctic, British Isles and Faroes  —providing their clients with immersive, educational, and once-in-a-lifetime travel  experiences aboard the M/V Sea Spirit.  

 

In just one year, VacationPort has seen a threefold increase in Impressions and Detailed  OƯer Views (DOVs), with engagement tripling between March 2024 and March 2025. 

 

“At VacationPort, we are committed to delivering the most extensive and high-quality  content distribution system in the travel industry,” said Sarah Bauman, Vice President of  Product Management for VacationPort. “Partnering with Poseidon Expeditions brings a truly  unique and world-class product to our advisors and introduces extraordinary polar  journeys to a broader North American audience.”  

 

“Expedition cruising is a complex, premium product,” said Kathie DeVincenzo, Head of  Sales, North America for Poseidon Expeditions. “To sell it successfully, advisors need to go  far beyond listing destinations. It’s about understanding the demands and rewards of  remote-region travel, and VacationPort’s network gives us the right reach and visibility to  find the travelers who seek that kind of adventure.”  

 

With over 25 years of experience exploring the high latitudes, Poseidon Expeditions is  known for its expert-led voyages to the Arctic, Antarctic British Isles and Faroes, operated  aboard the 114-passenger M/V Sea Spirit—a nimble, ice-class ship that allows maximum  shore time and an intimate onboard atmosphere. The company is a member of both IAATO  and AECO, with a strong commitment to safety, sustainability, and environmental  stewardship. 

 

Poseidon has been consistently recognized for excellence in the field, earning honors such  as World’s Leading Polar Expedition Operator (World Travel Awards, 2021) and Best Polar  Expedition Cruise Operator (International Travel Awards, 2022–2024).
