As the vessel was preparing to depart on its inaugural Jewels of Coastal UK voyage, Jos Dewing, managing director EMEA of AE Expeditions, welcomed tour operators and travel agents onboard to inspect the ship first-hand.
"All of the specialist travel companies who joined us on Greg Mortimer have customers who share AE Expeditions’ passion for exploring unique hidden pockets of the planet," Dewing said.
"AE’s ethos for the preservation and conservation of the natural world is shared amongst all of our travel partners."
The UK, Dewing added, is a "highly successful" market for the brand, thanks to the "invaluable help" of the UK trade who specialise in small-ship, expeditionary cruising.
Sales for polar voyages on AE’s ships – Greg Mortimer and Sylvia Earle – have increased year-on-year by 124%, alongside a 50% increase in agent partnerships.
