I loved every minute of our expedition to Antartica with Quark Expeditions aboard Ocean Explorer 10-22 February 2026, ALL the staff throughout were truly magnificent and so very very helpful always, the ship was beautiful well maintained beautiful clean cabins daily, super food and bar service and super food, the talks from the expedition staff were very interesting and the shore landings very enjoyable not too short not too long about an hour and a half each was about right, thanks to Captain Oleg and his team also coping with the dreaded Drake Shake and the doctor gerrard on board also kept busy thanks again all and Ryan with his daily recaps

The expedition team are amazing! Friendly, knowledgeable, professional, lots of fun, they seem genuinely happy to help and love what they do. The talks were so interesting and informative. With the team willing to answer lots of questions!! All the staff on the boat were great, food excellent. The boat is fantastic, so well set up and sparkling clean! Loved every minute of our trip.

Words can't express what i felt - The silence of Antarctica and a serene, new scene from my window each morning. During the night, the ship slipped smoothly to a different part of the peninsula. Expedition leaders were very knowledgeable and shared a lot of information. I looked forward to the presentations each day. And they made an extra effort to show us whatever they could The ship crew made our stay truly comfortable. Personal touch and attention to detail was heart warming. When the schedule went of-track and we had to spend an extra day on the ship, the expedition team as well as the ship's teams were extremely helpful. Jake did a great job of keeping us updated and tried his best to keep us comfortable and occupied. Great Team Effort... very grateful for the whole experience 🙏

Experience of a lifetime. Purpose built ship, spacious and very well designed cabins, top notch ship team, excellent F&B, knowledgable and very capable expedition team.

The entire staff - hotel, restaurant, expedition, officers, etc. were so friendly, and provided fantastic customer care.

The wonderful and friendly staff who took us to great locations to see wildlife!

From the moment that we boarded the ship until the very end of our journey the Quark team were fantastic. Every detail was curated expertly by the team on board and it seems that even the weather and the wildlife got the memo. Every day was better than the next - each bringing a new, once in a lifetime experience. There is surely no better way to discover the 7th Continent.

I had high expectations for this expedition and am very happy to say that my expectations were exceeded. The expedition guides were very knowledgeable and also know how to provide safe and amazing experiences for the passengers. The guides and all ship personnel were helpful and friendly, and I loved how the guides spread themselves out among the passengers at mealtimes, interacting freely with us. Our expedition leader, Shane, worked incredibly hard to provide us with landing and zodiac experiences, finding alternatives to planned activities, if conditions were less than ideal at those spots. This was truly a unique experience and I will treasure it always.
