Carmen
I had this amazing trip to Svalbard with Ultramarine, boarding the ship on June 7. The expedition team, the ship crew, the hospitality staff, they all made this trip very special. Credit particularly to expedition leader Ryan and captain Roy. We managed to circumnavigate Spitsbergen and still see LOTS of wildlife.

Hi Carmen, Thank you so much for sharing your experience! We're thrilled to hear that your Svalbard expedition aboard Ultramarine was such a memorable one. We'll be sure to pass along your kind words to Ryan, Captain Roy, and the wider Expedition, Ship Crew, and Hospitality Teams. It's wonderful to hear how much they contributed to making the voyage so special. A full circumnavigation of Spitsbergen with abundant wildlife sightings is exactly the kind of experience we hope every guest takes home. We hope to welcome you back onboard for another adventure soon! 🙌 Thank you, The Quark Expeditions Team
Roland
The trip into the Arctis was, as hoped, exceptionally positive – the Arctis truly is something special. The professional management on board the ship impressed me greatly. Everything was thought through down to the last detail, and any contingencies were handled promptly and excellently. The guides for the Zodiac excursions and the evening presentations were highly motivated and knowledgeable. The team in the restaurants and bars, as well as the room service, left nothing to be desired – courtesy and attentiveness were consistently excellent. Overall, I can describe this as a perfect vacation, satisfaction was complete.

Erwin R.
An unforgettable journey to Svalbard with Quark! From the very first to the very last moment, everything was exceptionally well organised. Despite a challenging start due to a delayed arrival in Longyearbyen (because of cloud cover at the airport), the professional team ensured that we could begin our expedition without any worries. The breathtaking nature of Svalbard exceeded all our expectations. We saw four polar bears (including one at close range), as well as walruses, reindeer, belugas, thousands of birds and an Arctic fox. The enormous glaciers with their beautiful white and light blue colours, the rugged landscapes and the silence of the Arctic made a deep impression. The enthusiastic and knowledgeable Quark crew made this journey even more special. Thanks to their dedication, expertise and excellent service, this was an experience we will never forget. Highly recommended for anyone who wants to experience the unique beauty of the Arctic landscape!

Hi Erwin, Thank you for such a wonderful review of your Svalbard expedition! We're so glad the team was able to get your adventure underway smoothly despite the delayed arrival in Longyearbyen. And what an incredible array of wildlife to experience — four polar bears, walruses, belugas, reindeer, an Arctic fox, and thousands of birds, all set against the glaciers and stillness of the Arctic. It sounds like Svalbard truly put on a show! 🙌 We'll be sure to pass your kind words along to the Expedition Team and crew, whose passion and dedication make these journeys so special. Thank you for the wonderful recommendation, and we hope to welcome you back on board soon! Thank you, The Quark Expeditions Team
