If you operate a small ship, yacht, expedition vessel, or remote-destination lodge, you know the challenge: you offer an extraordinary experience, yet digital distribution has never been designed for companies like yours.
Expedition API was built to change this.
We are introducing the first distribution API created specifically for small-ship cruise companies (up to ~200 guests) and remote lodges offering multi-night programs, operators who are often outside of CLIA, outside large consortia, and missing the booking technology needed to compete with major brands.
Distribute Your Product: Tech or Not
Even if you don't have a booking engine or any API capabilities, you can still join. ExpeditionAPI provides you with simple spreadsheets to share.
You gain modern global exposure without needing to invest in new technology.
You can update these spreadsheets at any time, or send us your own internal version periodically. Our team will convert your data into our system so your product becomes visible across our entire distribution network.
- Availability
- Pricing
- Promotions
- Itineraries & seasonal programs
// Data is converted to ExpeditionAPI JSON schema.
Global Visibility
By joining ExpeditionAPI, your ships and lodges become visible to thousands of travel sellers.
We are building the world's first unified database of small expedition products.
- Travel agents
- Niche operators
- Specialist DMCs
- Regional wholesalers
- Travel marketplaces
- Global OTAs (Soon)
- Enterprise systems (Soon)
A Collective Network for Small Operators
When you join ExpeditionAPI, you're not just opening new booking channels, you're strengthening an entire community of small, independent expedition operators. The more operators who join, the more valuable and attractive our API becomes to large distribution partners.
- More demand for your product
- More visibility for your brand
- More sales opportunities
- A stronger position against large competitors
You'll finally have the ability to compete on equal footing with the big players.
The Galapagos Example
Smaller vessels have lost visibility, not preference.
Not long ago, most travelers to the Galapagos booked small yachts and catamarans. But today, major international cruise brands (Silversea, Hurtigruten, Celebrity) dominate travel-agent channels.
- Agents don't see these products in their systems.
- OTAs don't list them.
- And many travelers never learn that intimate, authentic small-vessel options even exist.
