With a diverse fleet of specially-equipped small expedition vessels, icebreakers, and unique land-based adventures, Quark offers travelers unparalleled access to the most remote places on earth. The spirit of exploration runs deep in Quark's polar pedigree and they are passionate about creating transformational experiences for fellow adventurers visiting these regions.

EXPEDITION LEADERS

Quark Expeditions has the most professional and passionate team of Expedition Leaders in the world and offers the best passenger to Expedition Leader ratio of 7:1, providing the highest level of education, photography and overall experience for passengers on board.

SMALL SHIP ADVANTAGE

The vessels in Quark Expeditions' fleet accommodate anywhere from 128 to 199 passengers. Quark believes they can give guests the best polar experience on a smaller ship and go to remote areas that large ships can't reach taking you to remote, tiny villages and settlements, often through narrow fjords and channels. And, smaller groups of passengers often have a lot more time at each landing site.
