This could be you ❗

Have you ever thought of going on an expedition cruise?

Although I book anything from city breaks to bespoke itineraries, my true passion has always been and will always be adventure tourism 🌍

Expedition Cruising has been a great interest of mine for a while now as it takes adventure tourism to the next level.

Today I had the pleasure of meeting with the Business Development Team from Quark Expeditions and had the opportunity to learn more about their amazing itineraries and state of the art cruise ships.

If you are looking to create unforgettable Polar memories Quark Expeditions certainly have a deep passion and love for these regions.

With 30 years specializing in polar-only travel, they have built the best team in the business, with the deepest knowledge and know-how.

In Antarctica:
They have the largest and most diverse fleet of passenger ships. They deliver more departures and a greater variety of itineraries than any other company.

In the Arctic:
They go higher and farther than anyone else. Their nuclear-powered icebreaker crushes its way to the North Pole. Their Polar Adventure Ships let them explore Spitsbergen, Svalbard, add kayaking options and experience channels and bays through which thier icebreakers cannot sail.

What impressed me the most about them

⚓ There is so much exploring to be done on and off ship!
Whether on one of their expedition ships, in a helicopter, on a zodiac, kayak or bike, camping, hiking or immersing in a local cuisine or culture, their guides will get you closer, get you off-ship more and make your polar adventure unforgettable.

⚓ They provide the most immersive off-ship experiences.
Their goal is to get you off the ship as often as possible for an authentic polar experience.

⚓ The experience of their team and their unrivalled guide-to-guest ratio of 1 guide per 6 passengers, means they’re able to remain agile, so each day you have more unforgettable moments.

I have price parity with Quark Expeditions so if you are interested in one of their itineraries or want to know more, please get in touch with me and I'll gladly help you plan your adventure of a lifetime.
