Quark Expeditions launches Groups & Charters training module

SEATTLE — Quark Expeditions has introduced a new Groups and Charters specialization module to its advisor learning platform, PolarPRO.

The new module is designed to help travel advisors unlock new revenue opportunities, with in-depth knowledge on how to sell and customize group and charter experiences in the polar regions.

“The Groups & Charters module gives travel advisors the tools to deliver extraordinary polar experiences for their clients—whether they’re planning a family reunion, corporate retreat, or fully customized private voyage,” said David Marathakis, Senior Director of the Americas, Groups and Charters at Quark Expeditions.

He added: “By combining expert knowledge, flexible booking terms, and personalized support, we’re making it easier than ever for advisors to grow their business and create unforgettable journeys in the polar regions.”

Within the Groups & Charters module, advisors will learn about flexible booking terms, payment options, and real-life use cases for maximizing group benefits and commissions. It also offers AI-driven support and training tools.

Quark’s group bookings are available for parties as small as six passengers (select voyages) and offer benefits such as …

  • Exclusive discounts starting at 5%
  • Complimentary berths for larger groups
  • A dedicated group specialist to guide bookings and customization

Meanwhile the Charters segment of the module showcases how travel advisors can help clients create fully bespoke expeditions, with everything from curated itineraries and themed onboard programming, to customized cuisine (including Indian, vegan and gluten-free options).

The Groups & Charters module is available now through the Quark Expeditions Partner Portal.
