SEATTLE — Quark Expeditions wants travel advisors to know about a new addition to its Partner Portal.

The self-serve payment tool, ‘Manage My Client’s Booking,’ allows travel advisors to make payments online at their leisure, without having to call a Polar Travel Advisor to process the payment.

In addition to payments on behalf of their client, travel advisors can also update their guest details and purchase add-ons.

“We’re thrilled with the updates as they have helped streamline agency-client transactions and reduce dependency on internal sales support,” says David Marathakis, Senior Director of the Americas, Groups and Charters at Quark Expeditions. “Our goal is to continually update and upgrade the Partner Portal, making the process more efficient for sales agents and advisors.”

The new tool is available through the Quark Expeditions Partner Portal, launched in May 2024. The platform is designed to empower travel advisors with AI-driven support, customizable marketing resources, and PolarPRO training.
