Quark expeditions
โ๏ธ Set foot where few ever will and do what few ever dream.
๐ Every voyage starts on a ship, but the real adventure happens off-ship. Get set to camp, kayak, mountain bike, helicopter to remote locations, paddleboard in ocean waters or rise above the horizon in a hot air balloon.
๐ Ultramarine is equipped with two twin-engine helicopters, 20 quick-deploy Zodiacs, and the largest portfolio of off-ship adventure activities in the industry

๐ For me itโs always the animals
๐ปโโ๏ธ Spitsbergen in Svalbard is known as the Wildlife Capital of the Arctic. Only 800 miles from the North Pole, it is dark four months of the year, but when the sun returns in April, the days lengthen until sometime in June when the sun never sets.
๐ Endless days mean endless opportunities for travelers on a quest to observe polar bears and other wildlife such as walruses, reindeers, arctic foxes, beluga whales, seals and seabirds.
Do you want to visit the arctic? I canโt wait!
