ECN chief executive Akvile Marozaite said: “What makes our webinar programme unique is that for each webinar we invite a group of experts from participating expedition cruise companies who provide a hands-on discussion about the destination or topic being discussed.
“The experts are often the people who either design the itineraries or lead the voyages.
“All have a very extensive experience of the destinations, having worked and often lived there.”
