130 co-branded itineraries now available for booking.
Ponant Cruises this morning confirmed a new strategic partnership with National Geographic Expeditions, with the creation of “an extensive range of co-branded, luxury expedition cruises”.
The pact targets customers in Australia, New Zealand and the Asia-Pacific, with the special itineraries including a range of National Geographic Expeditions resources on board including leading experts and photographers who will engage with guests “to create an immersive and quality experience”.
A total of 130 itineraries have been designed over the next four years, priced from $4,730 per person, with core destinations including the Antarctic and Arctic regions complemented by “a range of global expeditions covering all continents”.
Adventure World, which represents Lindblad Expeditions in the local market, said the existing relationship between Lindblad and National Geographic in Australia and New Zealand remains unaffected.
Lindblad Expeditions overnight announced an expanded agreement with National Geographic Partners, adding Canada and Latin America to the existing partnership which covers the USA, Australia and New Zealand.
