These were just some of the questions raised during the first-ever Expedition Cruise Network conference at London’s Bankside Hotel this week (1-2 October).
Around 100 delegates heard from a range of suppliers about the future of the expedition cruise sector, its recovery from the pandemic and the challenges it faces today.
The value of the expedition cruise market is estimated to be around $1.3 billion, with 96 ships currently in operation and more than 15,000 berths available across the sector.
