SixStarCruises has recently welcomed AE Expeditions to its cruise partners portfolio, securing the first booking worth over £35,000 (approx. USD 44,144.27 ) in the highest suite grade- the Captain’s Suite- for two passengers.
The award-winning luxury specialist cruise travel agency expanded its expedition proposition at the start of 2023, noting an increased interest from travellers for this type of cruise experience. Expedition cruising is offering travellers a more authentic travel experience and AE Expeditions are the partner cruise line to provide guests with a more immersive expedition experience.
The first booking was made by the SixStarCruises’ specialist concierge, Laura, who will also be going on an expedition cruise with AE Expeditions this May exploring the Arctic region over 11 nights, from the northernmost settlement in the world- Longyearbyen.
SixStarCruises Managing Director, Alison Earnshaw comments, “There is a growing trend amongst clients booking more adventurous, immersive, and authentic travel experiences. People increasingly want to ‘do something different’ and see parts of the world which are well off the beaten track. The exciting rise in specialist expedition cruise product provides the perfect opportunity to have these experiences in comfort and luxury.
At SixStarCruises we pride ourselves on our specialist concierge knowledge and expertise through first-hand experience on-board and AE Expeditions is no exception. Although a relatively new partner cruise line in our portfolio, our concierge who secured the first AE Expeditions booking will be on-board AE Expeditions’ Greg Mortimer exploring the Arctic region this May. We’re very excited to be working with this expedition cruise line and to be able to share these personal experiences with our clients.”
“SixStarCruises is a highly respected and established cruise specialist here in the UK who I have long admired, so it has been exciting for the whole team at AE Expeditions to have formed a close partnership and to have seen immediate success with such a fantastic booking to Svalbard next year. We were extremely impressed by Laura and her client communication and to have booked a Captain’s Suite was the cherry on the cake. SixStarCruises have been great to work with, they have taken the time to understand and engage in our training around authentic, small-ship expedition and we look forward to welcoming Laura onboard this summer to the Arctic and continuing the successful partnership.” added Jos Dewing, Managing Director, EMEA – AE Expeditions.
