Yesterday was a ‘very exciting day on board’ the Heritage Adventurer, says Wild Earth Travel’s Sarah Porter.
The ship arrived Auckland Harbour from Vanuatu and gave agents and other members of the trade a chance to have a look around the vessel, and highlight the differences Heritage brings to the expedition market.
The Kiwi-owned and operated fleet of expedition ships aims to bring passengers into ‘biologically rich’ regions, such as Melanesia and Indonesia (where the ship had been weeks prior).
The fleet also operates in a way that brings guests into more of ‘the most wild, least-explored’ regions, with specialists in their fields on board ships, enhancing the experience.
. . . Responsible Travel
Heritage Expeditions holds a focus on ‘responsible travel’ and with many of its team having a background in biology and ornithology, it comes naturally.
The liner works with the locals ‘as well as helping deliver resources to lots of these communities’, says Porter. Heritage makes ongoing contributions to conservation initiatives, funding for endangered species, supplies for villages across the Pacific.
