Beth’s presentation offered a candid and motivating look into her career, one that resonates with every aspiring apprentice. From entry-level positions to her current role at AE Expeditions, Beth highlighted the power of gaining hands on experience, building networks, and staying open to new opportunities in the travel and tourism sector.

For our apprentices, it was more than just a webinar – it was proof that big things really do start small.

Her journey showed that travel apprenticeships are more than just training – they’re a launchpad to global experiences, lifelong careers, and personal growth.


❄️ Inside the World of Expedition Cruising with AE Expeditions

Beth also gave us a captivating insight into the world of expedition cruising – a fast-growing and deeply rewarding sector of the travel industry.

AE Expeditions offers unique, immersive journeys to bucket-list destinations like Antarctica, the Arctic, and beyond. These aren’t your average cruises.

We’re talking:

  • 🚤 Zodiac boat explorations

  • 🥾 Guided hikes through pristine wilderness

  • 📸 Wildlife photography tours

  • 🛶 Kayaking and even scuba diving in remote destinations

This was a wake-up call to the scope of possibilities in the industry – especially for apprentices who may not yet know what niche they want to pursue.
