It’s that simple. That’s why we only go to the polar regions – and no other operator can say that. \nOur team of polar experts is made up of the most seasoned, passionate and respected guides in the industry. \nWith the largest expedition team in polar travel, we’re able to get guests off the ship faster and more frequently.  \nWhether you’re on the ship, in a helicopter, Zodiac or kayak, biking, camping, hiking, or immersing in local culture, we offer countless ways to explore on each voyage. \nMeet Our Polar Fleet\nWe offer the most diverse fleet of ships in the industry. Built for polar exploration, our vessels provide an intimate experience and are fully equipped with the latest in expedition technology, ensuring we can safely and comfortably explore hard-to-reach polar destinations others don’t.  \nThe Most Ways to Explore\nQuark Expeditions provide the most immersive off-ship experiences: our goal is to get you off the ship as often as possible for an authentic polar experience. Discover a few of the adventures you could have with us. \nSome activities are included in your expedition as standard, while others can be booked in advance at extra cost. Activities vary by itinerary, destination, and are weather-permitting. A trip here isn’t for those who like a fixed itinerary. \nPolar Stories","attrs_markdown":"You're currently viewing our  site.

Destinations Anywhere Departures I'm Flexible Destinations Anywhere Departures I'm Flexible 2026 2027 2028 2026 2027 2028 We love these places. It’s that simple. That’s why we only go to the polar regions – and no other operator can say that. ![Home](https://res.cloudinary.com/enchanting/q_70,f_auto,c_fill,g_auto,w_864,h_486/quark-web/2019/08/Gallery-Image-Ice.jpeg) Our team of polar experts is made up of the most seasoned, passionate and respected guides in the industry. ![Expedition leader talking to guests on a landing site](https://res.cloudinary.com/enchanting/q_70,f_auto,c_fill,g_auto,w_864,h_486/quark-web/2025/04/More-Guides-Per-Guest_Staff_Interacting_4M9A3732_michellesole-2.jpg) With the largest expedition team in polar travel, we’re able to get guests off the ship faster and more frequently. ![Expedition guets on a zodiac boat view a whale's tail in the water](https://res.cloudinary.com/enchanting/q_70,f_auto,c_fill,g_auto,w_864,h_486/quark-web/2019/08/ANT_Tail.jpeg) Whether you’re on the ship, in a helicopter, Zodiac or kayak, biking, camping, hiking, or immersing in local culture, we offer countless ways to explore on each voyage. ![Helicopter flying next to a cliff](https://res.cloudinary.com/enchanting/q_70,f_auto,c_fill,g_auto,w_864,h_486/quark-web/2019/12/Canadian-Arctic_BT7I4543.jpg) Meet Our Polar Fleet We offer the most diverse fleet of ships in the industry. Built for polar exploration, our vessels provide an intimate experience and are fully equipped with the latest in expedition technology, ensuring we can safely and comfortably explore hard-to-reach polar destinations others don’t. The Most Ways to Explore Quark Expeditions provide the most immersive off-ship experiences: our goal is to get you off the ship as often as possible for an authentic polar experience. Discover a few of the adventures you could have with us. Some activities are included in your expedition as standard, while others can be booked in advance at extra cost. Activities vary by itinerary, destination, and are weather-permitting. A trip here isn’t for those who like a fixed itinerary. ![Svalbard](https://res.cloudinary.com/enchanting/q_70,f_auto,w_1400,h_800,c_fill,g_face/quark-web/2024/09/DavidMerronArctic2018-35.jpg) Polar Stories
