Quark Expeditions

Quark Expeditions is the global leader in polar adventures, dedicated solely to exploring the Arctic and Antarctic. For over 30 years, we’ve specialised in delivering immersive, small-ship expeditions that bring travellers closer to the most remote and pristine regions on Earth.

At the heart of our fleet is Ultramarine, our custom-built polar vessel designed for exploration and sustainability. Equipped with two twin-engine helicopters, spacious Zodiac hangars and cutting-edge amenities, Ultramarine allows guests to experience off-ship adventures that few others can offer, from heli-landings on untouched landscapes to kayaking beside towering icebergs.

Our commitment to sustainability is central to everything we do. Through our Polar Promise, we reduce our environmental footprint where we can, through the elimination of single-use plastics and innovative waste-management technology. We also partner with scientists and conservation initiatives to protect polar ecosystems and wildlife.
