Our new BDM Rosemary (Sivertsen) McNoe celebrated her first week at Viva with a night on the luxurious PONANT expedition ship Le Commandant Charcot during its stop at Lyttleton - what a treat! Welcome back to the tourism industry Rosemary 🥂

So proud to see John Key's diary from his trip to Antarctica with us hitting the cover of NZH Travel yesterday! Here's an excerpt: "You have the opportunity, of your own free will, to jump off the ship into the sub- zero water of the Southern Ocean, while the crew play “should I stay or should I go”, from the ghetto blaster in the mudroom. About two thirds of the guests take the plunge and while I am watching from Deck 8, I am cheerfully reminded of the promo video I did saying I couldn’t wait to get in. “Bloody, social media,” I think, as I head off to our cabin to don my bright green swimming trunks." The full article is also available online for NZH Premium subscribers - https://lnkd.in/gxbprdfD If you're dreaming of your own Antarctic adventure, get in touch - our Great Viva Sale is on until the end of the month ;) 👉 info@vivaexpeditions.com

Today marks a significant milestone as we raise our glasses to the incredible TARA SUTHERLAND, who has dedicated a remarkable 10 years to the adventurous journey that is Viva Expeditions. In a decade filled with challenges, triumphs, and coffee (her favorite thing!) Tara has been the compass guiding us through uncharted territories and turning ordinary days into extraordinary experiences. Her passion for exploration extends beyond maps and itineraries; it's woven into the fabric of our vibrant workplace culture. Here is one of Rachel Williams most memorable moments with Tara: "When Tara first joined Viva we were quite a small company and I'd just given birth to my first son, Tara had to hold the baby while I signed her contract. She really has been an integral part of the growth of Viva over the last years and I'd be lost without her”. Here's for 10 more years of you Tara! 🥂 🍾
