Testimonials

Lauren Boyd
Product Manager at Wildlife Worldwide

Praise for Expedition Cruise Network events including Antarctic Bootcamps and the Expedition Cruise Network Conference

‘It was a delight to attend the inaugural ECN Conference on Tuesday and Wednesday. The event was both informative and very well-organised. I especially appreciated the diverse selection of operators and meeting durations, which were just right. The speakers were engaging, and the panel discussions were very well thought out. It was great to attend an event focused solely on expedition cruising (which is the complete focus of my product manager role at Wildlife Worldwide) and meet so many suppliers dedicated to intimate adventure voyages. Looking forward to future events!’

Dan Hyams
Travel Counsellor

Thank you so much again for arranging such a brilliant event last week

‘I learnt loads and spent the whole day actually wanting to live on those ships and experiencing Antarctica first hand as I fell in love with everything about it. I'm fortunate to have travelled quite extensively but of course this is one area very few people have the honour of experiencing so it's never been somewhere I've trained on so the detail of the training, the explanations of IAATO, the importance of ship classification and the various sites for stops/marine activities made everything click and I can't wait to help clients experience this destination. ‘

Conny Bartl
Director of Business Development – Western USA/ AUS/ NZ, Polar Latitudes

I wanted to take a moment to extend a HUGE “thank you” for the incredibly well-organized ECN Conference you put together

‘It was fantastic to see such an engaged group of quality buyers and operators come together in one place – learning, networking, and having a good time!

The event was thoughtfully structured, providing ample time for those essential face-to-face meetings and networking opportunities, which are so invaluable in our industry. The format of the event made it easy to form new connections and strengthen existing relationships.

So, thank you once again for your hard work and commitment to making this event such a success. I’m already looking forward to the ECN Conference 2025.’

Simon Evans
Polar Sales and Partnerships Manager - UK and Europe, Intrepid

Just wanted to say thank you and congratulations on organising a fantastic event

‘It was great to finally have a dedicated expedition cruise event, and I thought the format worked really well. Everyone I spoke to had very positive feedback, so I look forward to it becoming an annual fixture!’
