Amsterdam Cruise Event

Debra was in Amsterdam this weekend working with One Ocean Expeditions’ Dutch travel partner, Thika Travel, at the Cruise Event – a new Cruise Show for consumers.

We were the only stand promoting expedition cruising and the response was very encouraging indeed. Amongst the traditional cruisers we managed to find some budding expeditioners!

It was a well designed, compact show and although the visitor numbers weren’t high (although for the first year of the show very respectable) the quality was excellent. We even picked up a couple of passengers for a One Ocean Expeditions Spitsbergen voyage next summer. Very lovely couple and perfect for One Ocean Expeditions!

Joost, the owner of Thika, and Jan Vermeer, an excellent wildlife photographer, were both on the stand. And there’ll be two very happy people today when they hear they’ve won a copy of Jan’s coffee table book packed with polar photos.

We made a good team!
