Quark ExpeditionsReviews of quarkexpeditions.com

This has been the most exciting and amazing adventure I have ever experienced within an organization and with a group. When I evaluate it as Quark, I can say this. You are doing something beyond professional. I can remember very few activities where safety and comfort were combined with adventure.

I Love Quark, best expedition cruise out there

Antarctica had long been on our bucket list & was the only continent we had not visited by the year 2022. The bar was set high & so I extensively researched the different companies that offer cruises to Antarctica. Quark won out on several fronts...experience, reputation, size of their ships( we wanted to do actual landings on the continent & therefore we wanted to go with a more intimate ship experience) & the responsiveness of the team at Quark. We traveled with Quark on the World Explorer on their "Introduction to Antarctica" expedition & what a trip it was. The expedition team was top-notch, their safety standards were impeccable & we got to see & experience landscapes that we would never have thought possible. On the one day that we had rough weather & getting off the ship was ruled out, the expedition team organized games & contests..there was never a dull moment on-board or off board. The food was excellent, the evening lectures were very enlightening. All of Quark's expedition staff have so much knowledge & experience of the polar regions & we made sure we never missed a single lecture, because we loved lapping up all the knowledge we could, while on board. Also, the auction was a lot of fun..spoiler alert..they do auction a lot of unique items, so make sure to attend it. For experienced travelers like ourselves( 7 continents, 75 plus countries), the experience from start to finish was seamless, and thats what we look for, when choosing whom to travel with. I had the pleasure of interacting with Clare Suckling from the client experience team & Raakhe Kapila from the sales team, for our booking & the service provided from booking( Dec 2020) to actually travelling, a few years later, was seamless. Clare Suckling is responsive, gets things done & definitely the person you want to speak too, if you are thinking of travelling with Quark. All in all, our first experience with Quark was exhilarating & we are hoping to be bale to repeat the experience soon. If a picture is worth a thousand words, the uploaded pictures should tell the story of our expedition. I highly recommend Quark & Clare Suckling if looking for an experience of a lifetime;)

Incredible experience! The scenery and wildlife are unlike anything I've seen. The guides were so knowledgeable and made the trip really fun. The ship was top notch and had all the amenities to make for a safe, enjoyable trip. The staff on board were all super nice and the food was great. Once in a lifetime experience!

We had an unforgettable voyage with Quark in the Arctic on their ship Ocean Adventurer. Service was excellent, the ship was very comfortable and we loved all the daily excursions (hiking, kayaking, wildlife watching). We were particularly thrilled with the quality of the guides and expedition staff - they were extremely knowledgeable, great personalities and made every excursion truly unique. Highly recommended.

The cruise liner in itself was very comfortable. But the team on board - both the service team and and the exploration team makes all the difference. They are definitely the best in business. They try and look at all opportunities to show case Antarctica to their customers.

Great all the way around, Crew, Itinerary, Food and the Ship. Can't say enough nice things about the organization.

We had a fantastic Antarctica trip with Quark on their new Ultramarine ship. Everything was absolutely 5 stars. The only part that could have gone smoother is the booking process (the gal we got was not knowledgeable) and communication/information. We didn't know what was included on the trip vs extra (so we signed up for every single extra). The crew and staff onboard were amazing and made for a wonderful once in a lifetime vacation.
