I appreciated everything, especially the excursions in Zodiac. I was very glad to listen to the conferences and explications given by your fantastic scientists. We could feel like a reals polars explorers! Of course, the kitchen was fantastic also! Thank you for everything.

Great experience, friendly ship crew and expedition crew. Would definitely recommend it - the scenery is amazing and it felt we did a bit to interact with the locals sustainably Only down side is cost, but everything was included (excluding optional activities)

Quark Expeditions went the extra mile to make our trip a truly memorable one. We had amazing encounters with wildlife that simply wouldn’t have happened but for the determined and calculated plans made by the expedition crew. The junior suites were spacious and very comfortable and the hotel staff were brilliant. Highly recommended!

Organisation across the board was excellent and not intrusive. Information was delivered in a very accessible way. When part of the trip proved too difficult to proceed, this was rolled out to us all in such a way that we became part of the solution - very smart. All of the people we interacted with on staff were helpful friendly and good at their individual "jobs". I loved every bit of the trip (except for the head cold I brought home to Australia) and have no negative comments to pass on.

The Ocean Explorer is a beautiful ship, our cabin was spacious and very comfortable . The expedition leader and team went to great lengths to give us the best experiences possible, taking into consideration our safety, the weather and the wildlife. We were fortunate to view a Polar Bear up close but given the new regulations most sightings are so distant it is difficult to observe them, even with a scope.

Nancy
The ship, the staff, the excursions, the expedition team, the servers and bartenders were all top notch. From zodiac rides, to waking on the tundra, spotting polar bears and musk oxen, to kayaking, and helicopter rides and landings on the ice sheet, this trip had it all. Well done, Quark!

JOHN C.
Good trip, terrible complimentary wifi. Did not like helicopters disturbing the quiet and the wildlife. But that's what tourist want.

Regarding helicopters, while they can be noisy during takeoff and landing, our crew works to minimize disruption for guests, and we want to assure you that flights are never conducted in a way that disturbs wildlife. Your feedback is invaluable to us as we continue to refine the guest experience, and we look forward to welcoming you on another expedition. Thank you, The Quark Expeditions Team
