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 via carbon-neutral voyages, elimination of single-use plastics and innovative waste-management technology. We also partner with scientists and conservation initiatives to protect polar ecosystems and wildlife.
