Dreaming of an adventure like no other once borders have reopened? Well, Quark Expeditions has just launched its Arctic 2023 season, featuring some of the most innovative itineraries in the Polar Regions.

Is the crisp air, spectacular scenery, and wondrous wildlife of the Arctic calling your name?

Quark Expeditions has heard those calls and, in response, has announced a total of 17 different itineraries in its Arctic 2023 season—many on the technologically advanced ship, Ultramarine

“Our Arctic season offers travelers an unrivalled selection of destinations, itineraries and immersive off-ship experiences,” said Thomas Lennartz, VP Sales & Client Experiences.

“Imagine spotting a polar bear along the ice edge, or cruising deep Arctic fjords in a Zodiac—or riding a helicopter high above the clouds in Greenland to kayak in a remote alpine lake few humans have ever visited.

“These are among the experiences available in our Arctic 2023 season, which is designed to truly immerse guests in the polar landscapes.”
