PolarQuest Expeditions

PolarQuest Expeditions Res till Svalbard med PolarQuest! Travel to Svalbard with PolarQuest! PolarQuest är Sveriges främste arrangör av resor till polartrakterna.

Med små grupper tar vi oss till isolerade områden och upplever nära möten med vilda djur. PolarQuest har arrangerat polarresor sedan 1999 och enligt oss råder det inga tvivel om att de iskrönta vildmarksområdena i Arktis och Antarktis faller under kategorin jordens mest storslagna platser. Med oss kan du stå öga mot öga med en isbjörn eller vandra på stränder bland hundratusentals frackklädda kung

spingviner. PolarQuest has arranged small ship expedition cruises to the Antarctica and the Arctic archipelago of Svalbard since 1999. All trips focus on unique wildlife encounters and spectacular nature. On all our trips you are accompanied by experienced guides all with a genuine love for the Polar Regions.

PolarQuest is celebrating 25 years and many of our employees and travellers have been with us for a long time. Perhaps you’ve joined an expedition with one of our guides, Erik Edvardsson or Niklas Nilsson, or been in touch with Niklas, who also works as a travel consultant in our office. These childhood friends began their career at PolarQuest as travellers on an expedition to Antarctica, South Georgia, and the Falkland Islands in 2008. This photo was taken during that trip.

PolarQuest firar 25 år, och många av såväl anställda som resenärer har varit med oss under lång tid. Kanske har du varit på en expedition med någon av våra guider, Erik Edvardsson eller Niklas Nilsson, eller haft kontakt med Niklas som även arbetar som resekonsult på kontoret? Dessa barndomsvänner inledde sin karriär på PolarQuest genom att först delta som resenärer på en expedition till Antarktis, Sydgeorgien och Falklandsöarna 2008. Detta foto togs under denna resan.

From northern lights, to whales, to night hikes to scenic lakes, to beautiful colorful skies...

My time in Northern Norway this year has come to an end.

While soon time to head south to Antarctica, different ship, different company, and new adventures...

My time onboard the .s.stockholm has been an amazing one.

More than just a work place, the ship and it’s crew are my home away from home.

Huge thanks to them all for making me and .engelke feel like part of a family.

And huge thanks to for trusting and supporting us.

Until next time...

The very last expedition day of the year with M/S Stockholm in Northern Norway delivered magical colours along with incredible encounters with orcas and humpback whales. And last but not least the spectacular Northern Lights were seen from the ship.

Årets allra sista expeditionsdag med M/S Stockholm i Nordnorge bjöd på magiska färger, otroliga möten med späckhuggare och knölvalar — och sist men inte minst, det spektakulära norrskenet som sågs från fartyget.

Our Story

Established in 1999, PolarQuest is a world leading operator of small ship expedition cruises in Svalbard. Our three expedition ships are built for Arctic waters, are comfortable and take a maximum of 12 or 53 passengers. This is how we offer an entirely different experience from what you get on a larger and more conventional cruise ship. With such a small ship, we are able to reach some of the most inaccessible and remote areas, maximise the time ashore and venture into small fjords. Every expedition is unique and our aim is that each passenger will have the trip of a lifetime. We also offer expeditions to Antarctica and the gems in between. Welcome on board!

PolarQuest är Sveriges polarspecialist och har arrangerat resor med små expeditionsfartyg sedan 1999. Alla våra resor bygger på nära möten med vilda djur och sagolik natur på några av jordens mest spektakulära platser. Svalbard är en ögrupp som ligger oss extra varmt om hjärtat och våra tre fartyg på Svalbard, som endast tar 12 eller 53 passagerare, erbjuder en helt annan resa och upplevelse än vad ett större kryssningsfartyg gör. På alla våra Svalbardsresor reser du alltid med både svensk- och engelsktalande guider. Med oss är varje expedition unik och vi strävar alltid efter att varje resenär ska få uppleva sitt livs resa! Vi erbjuder även resor till Antarktis och det bästa däremellan. Välkommen ombord!
