SEATTLE — Quark Expeditions has a new Quote and Hold tool for travel advisors.

Travel advisors can now generate quotes in real-time, secure cabin space 24/7, and manage the administrative process independently with the new tool.

“Our commitment to innovation is driven by our desire to empower travel advisors with the tools they need to confidently and efficiently sell polar travel,” said Sebastian Canape, Director of Trade Marketing at Quark Expeditions.

“The newly launched Quote and Hold tool will significantly enhance the advisor experience, allowing our advisors to deliver exceptional service with greater speed and precision than ever before,” he added.

To get started, agents can log into the company’s Partner Portal and navigate to the Tools and Apps section.

From there, they can create quotes and place holds for their clients using the new tool, eliminating the need for additional administrative support.

Canape says the launch of the Quote and Hold tool is part of Quark Expeditions’ broader suite of initiatives to enhance the travel advisor experience.

Other recent initiatives include Quark’s Partner Portal (driven by AI with Parker the Polar Bear) and the recently introduced Brand Folder.

Canape says the suite of tools provides a comprehensive database that empowers agents with the knowledge and tools they need to sell new itineraries, promotions, and season launches.

Complementing these resources is Quark’s Ultimate Summer in the Arctic Sweepstakes, currently running, which offers 10 lucky travel advisors the chance to win an Arctic FAM trip of a lifetime.

The 10 winners, selected at random, will set sail on a 13-day Ultimate Arctic Voyage from Svalbard to Jan Mayen to Iceland in July 2025.

Advisors can enter by registering at the sign-up page and collecting points July 24 – Sept. 30, 2024, through activities such as making bookings, attending webinars and sharing content.
