VacationPort Partners with Poseidon Expeditions As Polar Cruise Line Expands in North America
VacationPort (formerly Passport Online Inc.), the leader in travel content distribution, proudly welcomes Poseidon Expeditions to its extensive catalog, offering travel advisors access to one of the world’s most acclaimed polar cruise operators.
This new partnership marks a strategic step in Poseidon’s expansion into the North American market.
This inclusion ensures that travel advisors using VacationPort can seamlessly showcase Poseidon’s boutique expedition voyages to the Arctic and Antarctic—providing their clients with immersive, educational, and once-in-a-lifetime travel experiences aboard the M/V Sea Spirit.
In just one year, VacationPort has seen a threefold increase in Impressions and Detailed Offer Views (DOVs), with engagement tripling between March 2024 and March 2025.
“At VacationPort, we are committed to delivering the most extensive and high-quality content distribution system in the travel industry,” said Sarah Bauman, Vice President of Product Management for VacationPort.
“Partnering with Poseidon Expeditions brings a truly unique and world-class product to our advisors and introduces extraordinary polar journeys to a broader North American audience.”
“Expedition cruising is a complex, premium product,” said Kathie DeVincenzo, Head of Sales, North America for Poseidon Expeditions. “To sell it successfully, advisors need to go far beyond listing destinations. It’s about understanding the demands and rewards of remote-region travel, and VacationPort’s network gives us the right reach and visibility to find the travelers who seek that kind of adventure.”
With over 25 years of experience exploring the high latitudes, Poseidon Expeditions is known for its expert-led voyages to the Arctic and Antarctic, operated aboard the 114-passenger M/V Sea Spirit—a nimble, ice-class ship that allows maximum shore time and an intimate onboard atmosphere. The company is a member of both IAATO and AECO, with a strong commitment to safety, sustainability, and environmental stewardship.
Poseidon has been consistently recognized for excellence in the field, earning honors such as World’s Leading Polar Expedition Operator (World Travel Awards, 2021) and Best Polar Expedition Cruise Operator (International Travel Awards, 2022–2024).
