CLASSIC VS. FLY/CRUISE While Quark’s Fly/Cruise Adventures are

convenient for some, the classic “cruise/cruise” versions of these expeditions are really the ultimate adventure. These journeys are best for those whose time is their own, travelers who welcome a day or two at sea to relax or to learn more about the places they’re visiting from our on-board specialists. They enjoy the full experience. The biggest advantage of a cruise-only itinerary is that there is much less risk of weather getting in the way (i.e. interrupting or cancelling your trip).

SKIP THE CROSSINGS Crossing the infamous Drake Passage en route to Antarctica takes two days by sea, but a comfortable charter flight from Punta Arenas, Chile to King George Island in the South Shetlands takes just a few hours. The Arctic lets you kick off your exploration of East Greenland in 90 minutes.

AMP UP THE ADRENALINE The “anticipation” phase of your trip will be more of a “quick high.” When you don’t have the day or more of sailing to mentally prepare for your expedition, the faster Fly/Cruise pace supplies an elevated thrill.
