Aqua Expeditions, owned by Ponant, has joined the Ensemble Travel Network as a supplier member.

In a press release, the company said it would work closely with Ensemble’s network of independent travel agencies and travel advisors across the U.S. and Canada to support its growth in the region.

“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.”

The partnership will cover various advisor-facing initiatives, such as trade engagement, collaborative marketing, and access to training and sales support.

It will also entail a strategic framework designed to deliver what Aqua says is added value for Ensemble members and their clients.

It will be supported by Aqua Expeditions’ North America sales team, providing Ensemble advisors with access to product training, sales guidance, and destination expertise across its fleet.
