Quark Expeditions World Explorer (Quark Expeditions) Cruise Reviews

Fantastic experience. Amazing places, with hundreds of thousands of penguins and seals in South Georgia Island (a must) and Antarctica, with hundreds of whales along the away, among others. Top notch crew with non-stop options for science and history explorations. Wonderful people who love what they do. Very good food with tons of choices. Very nice boat with great first class cabins.

An incredible trip to Antarctica. The whole experience was great. The world Explorer is a beautiful and very comfortable ship. The hotel staff was super friendly and food was amazing, so many options and always plenty of options . The cabins were really nice and spacious with comfortable beds and great showers . The landings and cruising the area were super and a once in a lifetime experience. ...

I chose this expedition because it focused on locations immediately in and around Antarctica. Quark's "Fly the Drake" expedition departs from Punta Arenas, Chile - not by ship, but by a chartered 2.5-hour flight that arrives on a gravel airstrip on King George Island. This approach bypasses the Drake Passage and its potentially turbulent waters. Quark's expedition includes one night before ...

Cruise was chosen based on these criteria 1) expedition planned to go south of Antarctic circle for 3 days 2) good price for ship quality and expedition team due Black Friday sale 4) Quark would match up singles with same-sex roommate, avoiding single surcharge 3) timing Ship was very nice - great for expedition cruising with 3rd deck mud room for storing and getting your shore ...

I can't believe how efficiently everything was done. The landings & daily zodiac cruising's were so much fun & watching the ...

This is an expedition in the footsteps of all such travel to the Antarctica region,and that is the star of the cruise/expedition. The overall depth of the itinerary, to the Falklands, South Georgia, and Antarctica and the many land and sea excursions, meant the ...

Just arrived back home from our Antarctica, South Georgia and Falklands Expedition. Originally our trip was booked for November 2021 but due to Covid, the trip was cancelled by Quark. We rescheduled for this December. We chose a longer expedition because we heard great things about South Georgia islands so we really wanted to have that included in our Bucket List trip of a lifetime. Quark ...

This seemed like the best value for the money, with a new, fast ship and luxury cabin accommodations. Everything else in the same category was at least 1-2k more expensive. So I was worried this was going to be bad, but truly loved the experience. The staff was top notch, every single member of the crew and guides so friendly and dedicated to making the ship feel like home. The food was a bit of a ...
