Niche cruise specialists Poseidon Expeditions has appointed GAC as its UK national agent.
GAC will look after port calls for the 114 pax‘Sea Spirit’ from the Scilly Isles in the south to the coast of Scotland in the north.

The ‘Sea Spirit ‘ will be visiting coastal areas and smaller islands, inaccessible to larger vessels, keeping with our mission of providing our guests with a destination-focused experience, combining a high standard of onboard comfort and service with the spirit of adventure.
