Quark Expeditions have developed into one of the expedition cruise market leaders. Created in 1991, they have over 30 years of experience pioneering cruises to the polar regions. They have achieved an unprecedented series of firsts, including the World’s first North Pole voyage, and have been making the Arctic and Antarctica accessible to travellers from more than 50 countries globally.
Today they have one of the largest expedition fleets with a diverse range of ships and cruises to suit almost every traveller. Their game-changing expedition ship Ultramarine is equipped with two twin-engine helicopters, allowing for unique helicopter experiences on board. Ocean Explorer is modern, elegant and purpose-built for polar exploration. The 138-passenger vessel has been designed with the latest in expedition ship technology. One of this ship’s key features is the ULSTEIN X-BOW®, a marine engineering innovation that ensures a comfortable and smooth sailing experience thanks to the inverted bow.
Quark Expeditions pride themselves above all else on their experienced expedition team, who have been sailing into the polar regions longer, and into harder-to-reach places than many of their competitors. Despite their years of polar experience, the team retains the boundless enthusiasm of their first visits. With backgrounds ranging from biology, history, geology and more, they will help you get the most out of your expedition cruise.
Quark Expeditions is also profoundly committed to responsible tourism, and their Polar Promise framework is one of the most comprehensive sustainability strategies in the polar regions, displaying a determination to do whatever they can as an Expedition Cruise provider to preserve the pristine polar environments for future generations.
