Mission: To unite leading expedition cruise operators in the Australian market, fostering collaboration and insight-sharing to redefine the expedition cruising segment. By showcasing the unique value of small-ship expeditions with fewer than 200 passengers, we aim to equip travel agents and industry stakeholders with the knowledge needed to promote truly immersive, sustainable, and personalized expedition travel experiences.
Vision: To establish the Australian Expedition Summit as the premier platform for inspiring a shift in the cruising market toward responsible, intimate, and destination-focused travel. Through collaboration and education, we envision a future where expedition cruising is recognized as a distinct and thriving segment, prioritizing environmental stewardship, deep cultural engagement, and tailor-made service for discerning travellers.
