"Fine dining in the middle of the Arctic Ocean is an incredible thing to experience. Fresh dishes made daily by expert chefs, specially crafted cocktails and the most unbelievable views!"

Our Cruise Specialist, Nick, spent two weeks onboard Quark Expeditions's Ultramarine, enjoying a fabulous setting for every meal.

🦞 Balena Restaurant

Featuring tables that accommodate between two and ten guests, it's up to you whether you enjoy a quiet dinner with a loved one or join a larger table of new friends. Wherever you sit, you'll be treated to wraparound views of your surroundings from the front of the ship.

🥗 Bistro 487

A slightly more relaxed and informal dining experience, Bistro 487 is located on Deck 7, with indoor and outdoor dining options and impressive views from bar stools lining the restaurant's edges - perfect for enjoying the polar landscapes.

🥂 Panorama Lounge & Bar

Enclosed in glass and featuring unobstructed views, the Panorama Lounge and Bar is the perfect place to relax indoors while staying connected to the awe-inspiring landscapes drifting by. ​It serves as a cosy gathering point where you can sip a glass of wine, engage in great conversation, indulge in a board game, or socialise at the bar - and, later in the evening, bust a move on the dance floor.

"Every single day on the expedition was a new adventure, whether we were touring the coastline on Zodiacs, hiking through the snow, or peering through binoculars from the ship's deck. In Svalbard, we saw walruses resting on icebergs, Arctic foxes skipping over cliffs, and even two majestic polar bears searching for prey!"

Our Cruise Specialist, Nick, describes his experience on the Arctic Saga luxury expedition cruise with Quark Expeditions

“For many, it was great to be back onboard Ultramarine. For others, it was a real thrill to see the cabins and walk the decks of this luxurious ship for the first time. Quark Expedition’s newest ship is built for the harshest of climates, yet inside it feels like a 5-star hotel. The ship has a breathtaking panorama lounge, spacious suites, incredible leisure faculties and more outdoor wildlife areas than any other expedition ship of its size. It is pure bliss on water.”

Our Cruise Specialist, Nick Harrison, has just returned from two weeks onboard Ultramarine from Quark Expeditions as it cruised through the heart of the Arctic Circle. Here's a glimpse of the special ship, straight from Nick's camera roll.

No city enthrals quite like Budapest. Sitting on the Danube River, the Hungarian capital is home to fairytale castles, magical hot springs, jaw-dropping architecture and fascinating culture, all just waiting to be explored on a meandering river cruise.

We'll provide a detailed day-by-day itinerary for your adventure when you book with us, but we've rounded up our top five Budapest sights to inspire your visit...

1. Buda Castle: Sitting atop Castle Hill, this historic castle complex offers panoramic views of the city and houses the Hungarian National Gallery and Budapest History Museum.

2. Chain Bridge: One of Budapest's most iconic landmarks, the Chain Bridge spans the Danube River and connects the Buda and Pest sides of the city.

3. Parliament Building: A striking example of neo-Gothic architecture, the Hungarian Parliament Building is one of the largest in the world and a symbol of Budapest.

4. Széchenyi Thermal Bath: Budapest is known for its thermal baths, and Széchenyi is the largest and most famous. Relaxing in its hot spring waters is a must-do experience.

5. St. Stephen's Basilica: Named after Hungary's first king, this magnificent basilica boasts stunning architecture and houses the country's most sacred relic, the mummified right hand of St. Stephen.
