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.

Early Season with Quark on World Explorer

First Time Cruiser • Age 60s

This review is based on an eleven day Quark trip to Antarctica on board the World Explorer in late November/early December 2023. First, getting to Antarctica takes a long time. From Toronto it took a total of 17 hours flying time, more or less due south, and two days at sea to reach the continent. Your carbon footprint will be very big and very sooty by the time you get there. If this bothers ...

"Fly the Drake" - a well-designed and nicely executed expedition to Antarctica

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 ...

We've just returned from a 14-night Antarctic trip with Quark "Crossing the Circle" & we can't rate them highly enough!! Everything was exceptional, the crew, the food, our room, the lectures, the expedition team, the daily excursions, the sea paddling & the polar plunge!! I can't believe how efficiently everything was done. The landings & daily zodiac cruising's were so much fun & watching the ...

Antarctic Trip of a Lifetime

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 ...

An Expedition to the Antarctica region truly worthy of the Name

There are cruises and there are expedition cruises and there are expeditions. (Check of Gary B on his take on cruises versus expeditions). 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 ...

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 ...
