Thus, moving to an all-inclusive format makes the offering clear and allows for better explanation of what the experience entails. As Delamere-White pointed out, &#8220;We are the market leader. We want to demystify the world of expedition cruising.\u201d<br \/>\nThe company aims to expand its presence in the North American market, aiming to make it their primary customer base. Sales for 2025 have already surpassed those of 2024, as noted by Delamere-White.<\/p>\n<div class=\"row\">\n<div class=\"col-lg-6 offset-lg-3\">\n<div class=\"articles-video-new\">\n        <iframe allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen class=\"hide\" frameborder=\"0\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/oRc4qpZ_aKU?rel=0&#038;controls=1&#038;showinfo=0&#038;modestbranding=1\" title=\"YouTube video player\"><\/iframe>\n      <\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>This increase is driven by the company&#8217;s Antarctica and Galapagos packages, which recently welcomed 100 travel partners.
