COMMUNITIES: ENRICHING LIVES IN THE COMMUNITIES WE VISIT A Quark Expeditions voyage is more than a travel experience—it’s an immersive journey into the cultures and communities of the polar regions. Each itinerary is designed to connect guests with the people who call these remote regions home. We partner with local organizations to integrate cultural enrichment into our programs, offering insights into the history and traditions of Indigenous peoples. Onboard experts in Indigenous culture, history, and archeology lead presentations and workshops that explore traditional knowledge systems, survival practices, and community resilience. Many voyages include visits to Arctic communities, where guests can engage with artisans, elders and cultural guides. Whether learning about food preparation, hunting practices, or storytelling, these experiences foster genuine connections and deeper understanding. Guests hear directly from locals about their daily lives, challenges, and perspectives on the changing Arctic.
