Quark Expeditions
The Leader in Polar Exploration — Uncompromising Discovery at the Ends of the Earth.
The Travel Point Edit
Quark Expeditions is for the true explorer. While other lines offer "expedition-style" cruises, Quark focuses exclusively on the Polar Regions. Their newest vessel, *Ultramarine*, is a game-changer, featuring two twin-engine helicopters and a fleet of 20 quick-launch Zodiacs. It is designed for those who want to maximize their time off the ship, offering more landings and deeper immersion into the Arctic and Antarctica than any other line in the segment.
❤️ What We Love
- Helicopter Flightseeing: Included flightseeing tours on *Ultramarine* provide a perspective of the ice that few ever see.
- The Polar Plunge: A legendary rite of passage for Quark guests, executed with world-class safety and celebration.
- Tundra to Table: An innovative culinary program featuring Inuit chefs and authentic Arctic ingredients.
⚓ To Consider
- Adventure First: The focus is on the environment; if you are looking for Broadway shows or casinos, Quark is not for you.
- Expedition Pace: Itineraries are fluid and change based on ice conditions—flexibility is part of the luxury here.
