We’re as ready as you are to start travelling once again, but we realize that we’re still facing months of transition whilst bubbles are formed, jabs are administered, and government pilots new travel schemes. What that shouldn't stop us from doing is planning your next adventure; and right now we believe that an expedition to one of the the polar regions is your best bet. 

To explain why that's the case we're using this mail to take a closer look at the new protocols and policies that have been put in place by one of the most established polar experts; Quark Expeditions. Established back in 1991, they offer the most diverse range of itineraries and have the largest fleet of polar vessels in the world. More about them below.

This best-in-class cancellation and rebooking policy allows travellers to rebook right up to the day of departure with a money-back guarantee and flexible rebooking options. (For Arctic 2021 and Antarctica 2021/2022 - all existing and new bookings made by June 30, 2021.

Natural social distancing is part of life in the remote, wide-open, sparsely populated Polar Regions- making the Arctic and Antarctic the best places to be at a time when location matters most. Guests can take comfort knowing that for the duration of their expedition, they are only interacting with their fellow pre-screened passengers and Quark Expeditions staff.

There’s no sacrificing of onboard amenities or immersive excursions. Compared to other cruise offerings in the industry, a Quark Expeditions voyage is one in which guests will still be able to experience everything they expect of a memorable polar voyage.

Quark Expeditions has been the recognized leader in Polar adventure travel since 1991, when they became the first expedition company to bring tourists to the North Pole. Their trail-blazing history of achieving Polar firsts ensures guests will have the trip of a lifetime.
