From the moment we left Ushuaia, Quark Expeditions made sure everything was smooth and enjoyable. The Zodiac excursions were exciting and safe, bringing us close to whales and seals. The crossing of the Drake Passage had some waves, but the crew handled it expertly, and we kept entertained with lectures on wildlife and climate. Each day was packed with incredible sights and encounters with nature. The Antarctic Circle crossing felt surreal—definitely worth every penny!

The Expedition Team was outstanding, sharing expert insights during the Drake Passage and guiding us through each wildlife encounter. The ship accommodations were cozy and comfortable, and the onboard meals were hearty, perfect after a long day of excursions.

Ultimate Antarctica Experience with Quark Expeditions
If you’re looking for a truly unique adventure, this 23-day trip to Antarctica is unbeatable. Highlights for me included the Zodiac excursions and witnessing the sheer scale of wildlife in South Georgia. The Ultramarine was both luxurious and practical, with spacious rooms and great food. The expedition team really knew their stuff and was enthusiastic about answering our questions. The chance to fly above the ice on the helicopter was a real treat, offering a new perspective on this frozen continent. This journey was worth every penny.
This Antarctic expedition had it all: organized schedules, jaw-dropping landscapes, and a team of friendly, knowledgeable guides. We experienced everything from icy fjords to penguin rookeries and even got to cross the Antarctic Circle. The ship was equipped with everything needed for a comfortable voyage. I particularly enjoyed the presentations on glaciology and wildlife, which really enriched the experience. The Drake Passage was a bit rough, but that’s part of the adventure. Kudos to the entire Quark team for an unforgettable experience!
This expedition exceeded my expectations in every way. Each part of the journey was carefully organized, allowing plenty of time for exploration and relaxation. The accommodations on the Ultramarine were excellent, and the onboard team went out of their way to make sure everyone felt comfortable. I especially enjoyed the stops in the Falklands and South Georgia, where we spotted a huge variety of birdlife and seals. The Antarctic Peninsula itself was breathtaking, and the Polar Plunge was a thrilling experience! I am so grateful for the memories and friendships made on this trip.
