WHY QUARK EXPEDITIONS

We go to the ends of the earth to chart new adventures. We’ve been pioneering new types of expeditions into the Polar Regions for over 30 years now. We not only offer the most itineraries, but the most varied as well. Because no matter where you venture, you can explore culture, wildlife, science, physical activity, and beyond. To put it simply: More places to explore, more ways to explore them. Set foot where few ever will, and do what few ever dream. Every voyage starts on a ship, but the real adventure happens off-ship. In the polar wilds, we camp, climb, kayak, mountain bike, and helicopter to remote locations. We paddleboard on icy waters, and rise above the horizon in hot air balloons. With the most adventure options available, how you experience the Polar Regions is entirely up to you.

Good explorers respect their environment. Great ones protect it. The beauty of the Arctic and Antarctic should be appreciated and preserved by all who are lucky enough to experience it. That’s why we’ve developed Polar Promise, a comprehensive sustainability plan which includes key initiatives like reducing emissions and reusing or recycling 100% of waste. After all, polar exploration should leave a lasting impression—but only on the explorers like you. Discover Earth’s hidden beauty with a team dedicated to polar exploration. Polar exploration is our life’s work. It’s the only thing we do—in fact, the only thing we’ve done since 1991, when we brought the very first group of commercial travelers to the North Pole. We understand these unique, otherworldly domains like few others do. So, it’s our pleasure to journey with like-minded explorers, giving you the most in-depth experience possible. If these fascinating environments speak to you, speak to us.

Join the greatest fleet on the frozen seas.

When it comes to polar expeditions, you're only as good as where your ships can take you. And our diverse fleet of small polar vessels, which includes icebreakers and expedition ships, can take you to places where larger ships can’t navigate. Equally key is our fleet of Zodiac boats, which let us make landfall where others are not able. Trust us: when you travel all the way to the edge of the world, you’ll want to reach out and touch it too.
