Anthony Daniels, giving his first interview since taking up the role last year, also highlighted how "incredibly lucrative" expedition cruise bookings can be for agents and how the sector is currently attracting "a lot" of non-cruisers.
But Daniels noted how some agents are put off selling an expedition cruise over concerns owing to their lack of knowledge of the sector.
"I think expedition cruise conjures up a lot of different thoughts in people's minds," said Daniels, who is the UK and Ireland general manager at Ponant.
