Quark Expeditions has introduced a new module to its advisor training platform, PolarPRO. The new groups and charters training is designed to deliver in-depth knowledge on how to sell and customize group and charter experiences in the polar regions.

“The Groups & Charters module gives travel advisors the tools to deliver extraordinary polar experiences for their clients—whether they’re planning a family reunion, corporate retreat, or fully customized private voyage,” said David Marathakis, senior director of the Americas, groups and charters at Quark Expeditions. “By combining expert knowledge, flexible booking terms, and personalized support, we’re making it easier than ever for advisors to grow their business and create unforgettable journeys in the polar regions.”

Within the module, advisors will learn about flexible booking terms, payment options, and real-life use cases for maximizing group benefits and commissions. For additional assistance, it also offers AI-driven support and training tools.

The new module highlights the advantages of group bookings, which are available for parties as small as six guests (select voyages) and offer benefits such as:

  • Exclusive discounts starting at 5%
  • Complimentary berths for larger groups
  • A dedicated group specialist to guide bookings and customization

For advisors with clients seeking a completely private polar voyage, the Charters segment of the module showcases how travel advisors can help clients create fully bespoke expeditions. From curated itineraries and themed onboard programming to customized cuisine (including Indian, vegan, and gluten-free options), every detail can bring the group’s vision to life.

The new Groups & Charters module is available on the Quark Expeditions Partner Portal.
