Quark Expeditions

Are you ready to provide a life-changing adventure for your clients?

Quark Expeditions has been transforming lives for three decades with our innovative and pioneering journeys, taking travellers beyond the ordinary to discover some of the most remote, unspoiled and awe-inspiring places on the planet. We are your polar expedition experts, and we are the only cruise company focused exclusively on the Arctic and Antarctic.

Our drive for exploration and discovery began in August 1991 when we took the first consumer travellers to the North Pole. We led the first-ever passenger transit of the Northeast Passage, and we were the first to offer hot-air ballooning at the top of the world.

Where do we go?

• Arctic – Greenland, Svalbard, Canadian High Arctic
• Antarctic – Antarctic Peninsula, The Falkland Islands (Islas Malvinas), South Georgia, Snow Hill Island
