Aqua Expeditions has become a supplier member of  the North American travel advisor consortium Ensemble Travel Network.

The company says it will work closely with Ensemble’s network of independent travel agencies and professional travel advisors across the U.S. and Canada, supporting its continued growth in the region. 

The collaboration includes a range of advisor-facing initiatives such as trade engagement, collaborative marketing, access to training and sales support, and a strategic framework designed to deliver added value for Ensemble members and their clients.

Founder in 2007, Aqua Expeditions is a luxury small-ship cruise line founded in 2007, specializing in immersive, guided expeditions to remote, biodiverse, and culturally significant destinations. It operates in the Amazon, Mekong, Indonesian Archipelago, Galapagos, and the Arctic, and features a 1:1 crew-to-guest ratio.  

“North America continues to be a key growth market for Aqua Expeditions,” said Francesco Galli Zugaro, Founder and CEO. “Ensemble gives us the ability to deepen our relationships with advisors across the U.S. and Canada and support that growth in a meaningful, long-term way.” 

“We’re excited to partner with Ensemble as we continue to grow our business and deepen our relationships across North America,” said Monika Weinsoft, Director of Sales, North America. “With Aqua’s expanding product portfolio and a strengthened sales team to support this next phase, we’re well positioned to build meaningful momentum through this partnership.” 

The partnership will be supported by Aqua Expeditions’ North America sales team, offering Ensemble advisors direct access to product training, sales guidance, and destination expertise across Aqua’s fleet.
