Aqua Expeditions joined Ensemble Travel Network, with plans to work closely with the consortium’s travel agencies in the US and Canada.

“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,” Ensemble said.

“North America continues to be a key growth market for Aqua Expeditions,” said Francesco Galli Zugaro, the line’s 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,” he added.

The luxury expedition line’s ships carry between 16 and 40 guests to destinations such as the Peruvian Amazon and the Mekong Delta, as well as coastal yacht voyages in East Indonesia and the Galapagos Islands.

Its sixth vessel, Aqua Lares, is scheduled to debut this month, sailing on East Africa itineraries from November to April and Svalbard and Arctic Circle voyages from June to September.

“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.”
