Quark ExpeditionsReviews of quarkexpeditions.com

Going with Quark was amazing, a TRUE expedition cruise, our cruise was changed from the moment we boarded due to bad weather, this bad weather and change of course ended up being our greatest asset due to places we got to visit not normally visited, this was partly due to such a small ship with only 105 passengers. We got to see more than if we had stuck to our initial itinerary, this is what a true expedition is all about. Bigger ships cannot get this.

夸克团队无论从服务和专业性上来说都非常棒，超出我的预期，同时期间我经历了罢工，夸克团队迅速的响应应急措施使我很有安全感，责任感，是一场不一样的体验，下次我还会选择夸克探险，并且推荐给我身边的人

"Professional" would be a one word summing up - from the ship itself, through the catering and hotel staff, to - especially - the expedition staff. The size of the ship matters, being small enough to enable shore and cruise expeditions by Zodiac - an experience which just doesn't exist on the large ships. And not just leading excursions off ship - so many of them were researchers and expert in their own field, and it showed in the quality of many of the presentations. (Special mention to Ross for his history lectures, especially regarding the Franklin Expedition. Quite an achievement to get across a huge amount of detail accurately, whilst making the lectures very interesting AND amusing at the same time. Excellent.)

A great trip. The route was changed to below the Antarctic circle ensure weather conditions were optimal. zodiac tours were good for wildlife sitings and from the ship. Food and wine excellent. new Years Eve with the sun still up was memorable.

The main reason for my last trip was to see the total eclipse in Greenland on my birthday. It was a truly amazing experience, made so by the quality and experience of the expedition leader and the crew. I could only encourage people join Quark to visit the polar regions. The knowledge of the staff is unsurpassed and the quality of the whole package brings me back time after time.. from my first trip in 2020 I have continued to return trying to find a different trip each time… I haven’t run out yet! People have asked me on trips why I come back so many times and at the end they come up and say “we see why now”

Professional but on a personal level. Sets expectations and delivers. Food and beverage service excellent. Leader knowledge exceptional. Upbeat atmosphere and a caring touch to satisfy making the trip memorable.

I've traveled with Quark on 4 voyages and have loved everyone of them. The best was on the KK in 2020 to Antarctica to see the Emperor Penguins but the other 3, the last one was this past May 2026 to Svalbard, were also delightful. The Expedition staff have a vast amount of knowledge about the sights we are seeing and yet all of them are very warm and friendly. I hope to be able to travel on many more Expeditions with Quark.

Quark is great! I love that your price is very inclusive: The hotel before the cruise, the charter getting to the remote location, the boots, the walking sticks, nice polar jacket, even a helicopter ride over a glacier on a previous trip! The ship had very knowledgeable staff so that each zodiac trip was interesting and very informative. We saw 5 polar bears in Svalbard! The small ship size made it easy to meet and get to know people from all over the world. There was great camaraderie with all the guests.
