Secret Atlas, pioneers of the Expedition Micro Cruise, has appointed travel and lifestyle firm GEC PR to drive awareness of its immersive travel experiences in the Polar regions and the benefits of low-impact travel with small ships and group sizes.  

Owned by avid high latitude sailor Michele D'Agostino and seasoned Polar Explorer Mariano Curiel, Secret Atlas and its Expedition Micro Cruises were created to fill the gap in an industry which lacked alternatives to the usual 100-250 ship capacity by offering authentic experiences for small groups to remote and captivating destinations in the Polar regions. Offering expeditions to destinations including Svalbard, Greenland, Antarctica and South Georgia, Secret Atlas stands out thanks to its authentic wildlife experiences led by world-class expedition leaders providing flexible itineraries able to make the most of weather and wildlife opportunities.

GEC PR will handle all PR and marketing for Secret Atlas, working alongside the in-house team to raise awareness through press trips, media relations, integrated marketing campaigns and brand partnerships.

Michele D'Agostino, Secret Atlas Co-Founder and Head of Sales and Partnerships said, “We're looking forward to working with the GEC PR team and were hugely impressed with their experience in the travel and lifestyle sectors. It's an exciting time for Secret Atlas, with plans to roll out a new brand campaign in the upcoming months and showcase why joining an Expedition Micro Cruise is the best way to explore the polar regions in a private and authentic way, leaving only footprints behind." 

Sarah Salord, Company Director at GEC PR said, “We're delighted to represent Secret Atlas, which is such a pioneering and authentic brand. Our experience and passion working for outdoor and adventure brands is paramount and we cannot wait to raise awareness amongst media and target audiences that will love the unrivalled, authentic experiences they provide to guests.”
