Antarctica — It lay undetected for most of recorded time, beyond the margins of the known world. Even after someone stumbled on it, its isolation and the necessary rigors of the journey kept all but the most intrepid away. Those who did return ran short of superlatives to describe its magnificence. We can now go to Antarctica in a style undreamed by those ardent early pioneers. But what awaits us there — the snowy, sentinel mountain ranges, teeming penguin colonies and stately parades of monumental icebergs; the sight of an albatross effortlessly gliding across an ink-blue sea and the unexpected rainbow of mist arising from a breaching whale — all of that is virtually unchanged from the time before its discovery.

When you venture into the untouched wilds of the Arctic and Antarctic, you need a great team around you. And Quark has the greatest. You’ll join elite guides trained at Quark Academy—which surpasses every standard imaginable for safety and preparedness in the Polar Regions—and interact directly with world-class polar experts. Our philosophy? The team that explores together, discovers more together.
Quark Expeditions goes where others simply can’t. Or won’t. But their expert guides’ abilities to read unknown terrain means where there’s a will, there’s a way—and that way could be by kayak, Zodiac boat, helicopter, or even hot air balloon. In an environment so unpredictable, it pays to have a few backup plans. They don’t just expect the unexpected, we embrace it.
For those who wish to explore the farthest reaches of the globe, our Polar Expeditions take you to the glacial landscapes of Antarctica, the wild frontiers of the Arctic and the soaring fjords of Greenland. Witness the awe-inspiring power of nature throughout explorations of the Antarctic Peninsula and Svalbard, destinations filled with pristine scenes sure to take your breath away. While Antarctica offers icebergs, glaciers and penguins, the Arctic is filled with golden tussock hills, snow-capped mountains and polar bears. Possible landings amid Greenland National Park bring you to extraordinary wildlife, from belugas and narwhals to seals, walruses, caribou, and musk oxen.
A new October 2025 – March 2026 Antarctica season with over 30 expeditions is bringing explorers to the end of the Earth for a polar journey like no other. The awe-inspiring beauty of the Seventh Continent can be experienced firsthand and fully with a FREE stateroom upgrade. And it’s even better together with fewer than 200 fellow explorers, an expert expedition team and genuinely passionate crew aboard an intimate, polar-class yacht. With expeditions that range from 7 to 18 nights, there’s an adventure for every explorer.
