Quark Expeditions, the pioneers of polar exploration, are redefining the way we experience Antarctica with their most ambitious season yet. Leading this bold new chapter is the exceptional World Voyager—a sleek, state-of-the-art vessel that brings a new level of comfort and capability to the world’s most remote wilderness.

The 2026–27 season promises more ways to connect with the White Continent than ever before. Thrill-seekers can now enjoy expanded helicopter landings and unforgettable camping experiences on the ice, while travellers short on time will love the increased number of Antarctic Express fly-cruise departures. Best of all, enhanced access comes with reduced pricing, opening the door for more adventurers to witness the raw, untamed beauty of Earth’s final frontier.

If this is your first visit, the classic Antarctic Explorer voyage gives you the best of the stunning Antarctic Peninsula in 11 days. Conquer the famed Drake Passage in your choice of four stabilized, polar-class vessels; explore majestic natural environments by zodiac and on foot; get up close and personal with penguins, whales and other wildlife; and enjoy talks on history, biology and glaciology by onboard polar experts.

Revel in the excitement of crossing the famed Drake Passage after embarking from Ushuaia, with the convenience of a northbound return flight at the end of your expedition. Minke and humpback whales or Adélie penguins floating on ice floes may greet you as you pass, en route to the northernmost tip of the Antarctic Peninsula.

Retrace Charles Darwin’s epic voyage to the ‘edge of the world’ on this Essential Patagonia: Chilean Fjords and Torres del Paine expedition, a comprehensive journey into Chile’s spectacular network of fjords and channels. Helicopter flightseeing and Zodiac cruises along this enchanting stretch of coastline provide awe-inspiring perspectives of some of the most remote and picturesque landscapes on Earth.
