EXCLUSIVE: Australia-based luxury hotel, resort and DMC representation firm, La Collection, has signed its first cruise partner with the newly-established expedition brand, Pearl Expeditions. The partnership brings La Collection’s Managing Director, Craig Farrell, and Pearl Expeditions’ Sarina Bratton AM together again.
Farrell and Bratton have seven years experience working alongside each when they were both with PONANT, up until three years ago.
“Bringing together a team of professionals who could hit the ground running, having already achieved success in this niche sector of the industry was forefront in my plan,” Bratton explained in her decision to select La Collection.
“Craig Farrell and La Collection were such a natural fit to ignite and lead our valued trade engagement. We are so pleased to be working with Craig, Lea and team.”
Speaking exclusively with LATTEon the new representation deal, Farrell said he was excited to be working with Bratton again.
“There’s never been a vessel like Paspaley Pearl available to explore the pristine Kimberley region, and further into East Indonesia, Borneo and Papua New Guinea.
“This partnership between the Paspaley family and Sarina Bratton ensures the experience offered to guests will be unparalleled.
The La Collection team will shortly have details to share of the inaugural season with partners across Australia.
