Speaking exclusively to TTG, David Tanguay championed the efforts of the UK-based sales team, which includes senior business development managers Katie Harber and Andy Tait, before saying: “We do see the [UK and Irish market] growing over the next few years.”


Earlier this month, former Intrepid’s head of B2B sales Andrew Turner started his EMEA sales director role at AE Expeditions. 


Turner’s hire and increased AE Expeditions’ support for a growing number of agents wanting to sell expedition cruise mean Tanguay is hopeful this market came become a major one for the line.
