Quark ExpeditionsReviews of quarkexpeditions.com

A very well organised and an amazing expedition and experience. A great team effort between Quark Expeditions and Ocean Explorer teams. Every little details were well thought of. We were on board the Ocean Explorer. It's a good sized ship and wasnt overcrowded. Amazing food and crew.

The staff and the way everything was organixes. Thinks moved perfectly The beds and pillows weren’t the best but the room itself was fine. Big enough to store belongings without being cluttered I also would like to see more information, pre trip. Like storing excess baggage at the arrival and exit hotel, more info on what to expect in terms of potential weather delays when flying to and from, better information on water proof pants / what to look for

An absolutely once-in-a-lifetime Antarctic experience. We were incredibly lucky with both the weather and wildlife, and it made this expedition truly extraordinary. Calm seas, clear skies, and breathtaking landscapes allowed us to fully experience Antarctica in all its raw beauty. Wildlife sightings exceeded all expectations — penguins, seals, and whales in abundance, often at very close range. The expedition team was exceptional: knowledgeable, passionate, and deeply committed to safety and environmental stewardship. Every landing was well organized, informative, and memorable. The combination of stunning scenery, remarkable wildlife encounters, and seamless execution made this journey unforgettable. I feel profoundly grateful to have experienced Antarctica under such ideal conditions. This expedition surpassed every expectation and is something I will treasure for the rest of my life.

The ship was so well organized when a plan had to be revised it was done smoothly. All the personnel from the captain to the hotel staff were pleasant and efficient. The expedition staff were knowledgeable and passionate.

The whole logistic arrangements are great. Every event is organized smoothly. All the staff members take good care of each and every guest.

My Christmas expedition to Antarctica with Quark was absolutely extraordinary. From wildlife encounters to breathtaking ice landscapes, this is a destination that stays with you forever. The entire crew & passionate expedtion team made ever day spell binding.

My family booked a fly over and sail back trip to avoid the drake 1 way. Our expedition started off quite tough with weather delays blocking our flight to Antartica. I believe this aspect is not spoken of enough and the risk factor of missing your time in Antartica and just how volatile the weather is. Not Quarks fault and they did everything to get our expedition on the way. They did their best to book land excursions while we waited in the weather. When we finally arrived the crew was as excited to see us and Quark gave us the maximum time off the boat to explore Antartica. We signed up beforehand for the kayaking so while everyone was driving around on the zodiac we were able to kayak around and glide right up to the wildlife. The ship was immaculate, comfortable and modern. The crew was top notch and the expedition leaders were out of this world. The food was really good with lots of variety. Everything was well thought out and executed right down to the polar plunge. I truly don’t have a negative comment on Quark. They were tough on our safety but generous with time when doing excursions. Truly the trip of a lifetime thanks to Quark.

We had the most amazing trip to Antarctica, and spent xmass on board the Ocean Explorer. The crew was incredible, kind, generous and knowledgable. It was truly a trip of a lifetime. Antarctica is one of the most beautiful places I've ever been, and we are glad we chose the right company for our trip.
