Why Quark Expeditions
Built around polar exploration.
Quark Expeditions focuses on voyages to the Polar Regions, combining purpose-built expedition vessels with experienced expedition teams and extensive opportunities to explore away from the ship.
Your voyage may include Zodiac cruising, shore landings, wildlife viewing, hiking, photography and paddling. Certain itineraries and ships also offer specialist experiences such as helicopter flightseeing or heli-landings.
MICE Holidays helps travellers in Malaysia compare Quark ships, itineraries, cabin categories, departure dates and expedition activities before booking.
