Ultramarine, is designed to go beyond the familiar in polar exploration, to discover new places, and to immerse you in the best the region has to offer.
Quark Expeditions operate traditional cruise ships – those large cruise liners holding thousands of guests. This is because the size of these ships makes it difficult (sometimes impossible) to easily and safely maneuver into calm bays and so we can provide daily exploration opportunities –shore landings and Zodiac cruising ? which are the heart of expedition travel. Instead, we operate expedition ships. These are much smaller nimble vessels, carrying fewer than 200 passengers, all equipped with Zodiacs (inflatable landing craft) for transfers from ship to shore, and back. We call our expedition vessels “Polar Adventure Ships,” and adventure is exactly what they deliver. Quark’s ships will get you to some of the most isolated and breathtaking wilderness areas in the world. And we’ll also get you there safely and comfortably. Ice class matters in polar travel. All our ships feature ice-strengthened hulls for superior navigation in ice-packed polar waters. And our North Pole ship (50 Years of Victory) is the most powerful icebreaker with the highest ice rating in the world, and is equipped with a helicopter for aerial sightseeing. Their officers and crew too boast decades of experience navigating icy waters.
