In 1991, adventurers Lars Wikander and Mike McDowell had a dream of visiting one of the few places on Earth they hadn’t explored: The North Pole. Once there, they were struck by its pristine beauty and inspired to share their experience with fellow explorers. Not long after this pioneering journey, Quark Expeditions launched their first-ever tourist transit of the Northeast Passage.
Today, Quark Expeditions is all about polar adventures, specializing in expeditions to Antarctica and the Arctic. With a diverse fleet of small expedition ships that go where others can’t, we offer travelers unparalleled access to the most remote places on earth, filled with unforgettable off-ship adventures led by our experienced team of polar experts.
The spirit of exploration runs deep in our polar pedigree, and we are passionate about creating life-changing experiences for our fellow polar explorers.
