WHY QUARK EXPEDITIONS
Here are 11 more reasons why Quark Expeditions should be your first choice for your Arctic expedition: WE’RE AN INDUSTRY LEADER IN HEALTH & SAFETY. Quark Expeditions has an externally-accredited safety program (British Standard BS8848). In addition, every member of our expedition team undergoes in-depth safety training at Quark Academy, our proprietary polar training institute.
WE ONLY DO POLAR. Exclusively! We’re not a cruise company that dabbles in the Arctic and Antarctic. Polar is all we’ve been doing for the last three decades. You can have absolute trust in the expedition team that knows the Arctic and Antarctic inside out.
WE HAVE THE MOST EXPERIENCED TEAM IN THE POLAR REGIONS.
WE ENGAGE AND EDUCATE OUR GUESTS THROUGH ONBOARD PRESENTATIONS.
After 30 years of polar adventure, our seasoned expedition team and polar specialists have endless passion and unparalleled knowledge to share with guests. Our high ratio of expedition staff-to-guests means a more personal experience.
Our onboard experts (in glaciology, history, biology, geology and other subjects) share their in-depth knowledge with guests throughout the entire voyage. WE TAKE GUESTS DEEPER INTO THE POLAR REGIONS THAN ANYONE ELSE. Our two twin-engine helicopters enable guests to experience the most remote destinations in the Polar Regions. WE USE THE RIGHT SHIPS FOR THE JOB. Quark Expeditions maintains the largest, most diverse polar fleet in the industry, offering guests a wide range of choice. Our polar ships carry fewer than 200 guests and are small enough to allow guests access to hard-to-reach areas. Our ship sizes allow for customized and more personalized experiences. WE HAVE THE MOST COMPREHENSIVE SUSTAINABILITY STRATEGY IN THE POLAR REGIONS. Our Polar Promise is the most holistic sustainability strategy of its kind. Since 2010, we’ve decreased emissions from our fleet by 28%. In 2017, we eliminated single use plastics. By 2025, we aim to reduce carbon emissions by 10%, ensuring we can protect the areas we visit for generations to come.
WE BELIEVE IN BEING ENGAGED TRAVELERS—NOT PASSIVE OBSERVERS.
Quark Expeditions invites guests to experience the Polar Regions by land, sea, air and ice—not merely just see it through a window.
WE OFFER MORE OFF-SHIP ADVENTURE OPTIONS THAN ANYONE ELSE.
We offer more ways to experience the polar environments than any other expedition company: flightseeing, sea kayaking, hiking, alpine heli-trekking and more. Our robust portfolio of adventure options means guests can truly personalize their polar experience. WE IMMERSE YOU IN NATURE. Our expert guides, innovative itineraries and quick-deploy Zodiacs enable spontaneous, wildlife encounters never before imagined! WE DELIVER THE MOST INNOVATIVE ITINERARIES. Quark Expeditions constantly pushes the boundaries of discovery. This year we offer our Greenland Adventure Program, the first of its kind to be fully developed in partnership with local Greenlandic communities.
