Quark Expeditions offer a portfolio of luxury expedition cruises that are as diverse as the regions themselves – off the beaten polar path.
Specializing in Antarctic and Arctic expeditions since 1991, Quark Expeditions leads the way when it comes to innovative polar adventures. Quark Expeditions goes where others simply can’t. Or won’t. But their expert guides’ abilities to read unknown terrain means where there’s a will, there’s a way—and that way could be by kayak, Zodiac boat, or even helicopter. In an environment so unpredictable, it pays to have a few backup plans. They don’t just expect the unexpected, they embrace it. The Quark Expeditions team delivers deeply immersive experiences on every sailing. Thanks to the specially-equipped expedition fleet that allows them to go deeper into the Polar Regions than anyone else.
When you travel with Quark Expeditions, you experience an unparalleled adventure in every possible way. It is not just about travelling to the destination, it’s about touching it, experiencing it – and returning home with an enormous sense of achievement.
