Cruise Search

View Expanded Search Search Help

You can select more than one option in most of the form fields. Here are explanations of the search options we get asked about the most often:

Departure Port: If you only want to view results for cruises that start in a specific port, you can specify it here. You can select more than one (to see cruises that start at certain ports). For example, you can select both New York and Boston if you only want to view cruises that start in either New York or Boston.

Arrival Port: If you only want to view results for cruises that end in a specific port, you can specify it here. You can select more than one (to see cruises that end at certain ports). For example, you can select both New York and Boston if you only want to view cruises that end in either New York or Boston.

Ports of Call: You can the type name of one port that you would like all your search results to include. For example, if you type Barcelona all of the search results will include cruises that include Barcelona (even if it's not a starting or ending port in the itinerary). Be sure to spell the port name correctly!

Max Occupancy: Allows you to view search results that only include ships that have accommodations for a minimum amount of people per room. For example, if you select "5 and more" your search results will only include ships that have at least one room type that would accommodate at least 5 people. The pricing that displays on the search results page will be the per person pricing based on a room for two people. Proceed further in the online booking process to view the pricing for accommodations for a different occupancy.

Kid-Friendly: Shows cruises that are great choices for those traveling with children and teens. Includes ships with youth programs and/or youth-friendly public spaces. Programs and public spaces are subject to change, at the discretion of the cruise line.

→ Cruise Only vs Cruise Line Tour

If you check the Cruise Only option, you will only see results that are for a cruise vacation. If you check the Cruise Line Tour option, you will only see vacations that include a cruise + land tour package (also known as a Cruise Tour). Leave both unchecked to view results that include both vacation types.

Why Choose Quark Expeditions?

Small Ship Advantages
The vessels that make up the Quark Expeditions fleet accommodate under 200 passengers, taking their guests to remote areas that larger ships cannot reach. With less guests, Quark Expeditions often has significantly more time spent at each landing site, in comparison with larger ships that need more time to get their guests on and off their ships. With a more intimate group, guests get to know the expedition crew, onboard staff and feel passengers by name rather quickly. There are many more possibilities for one-on-one interactions during the cruise and while on land.

Expedition Team
A team of knowledgeable and talented professionals is key to a successful expedition voyage, and you can count on Quark Expeditions to provide that. Their Expedition Team is made up of seasoned veterans with backgrounds in fields such as marine biology, history, glaciology, geology and more. With a high staff-to-guest ratio, Quark Expeditions will provide you with a truly memorable experience.

Valuable Inclusions

The following is included on Quark Expeditions voyages:

All Zodiac transfers and cruising, per the daily program
All meals, snacks, soft drinks and juices onboard, throughout your voyage
Select beer and wine during dinner; and coffee, tea and cocoa available around the clock

Amazing Off-Ship Experiences
Sea Kayaking
Offered on all of Quark Expeditions' departures, and requiring no previous experience. Guests can go kayaking around secluded coves, shores, beaches, and more, viewing the beautiful landscape and up-close encounters with wildlife such as Galapagos penguins, sea lions, and more.

Paddle Program
Available as a shorter-length excursion, a sit-on-top kayak provides guests with a more intimate view of the beautiful surroundings. This activity is highly weather dependent, and usually lasts an hour to hour-and-a-half. This is offered on most voyages, and space is limited. All equipment, guides and instructions are provided by Quark Expeditions.

Stand-up Paddleboarding
Popularly known as SUPing, Quark Expeditions is the first company to bring this watersport to the waters of Antarctica. Guests receive on-ship and on-water instruction form a qualified SUP guide, plus a safety driver (on a Zodiac) will be within range to offer help. This activity is usually around an hour to hour-and-a-half in length, and there are usually 10 guests in the group.

Camping
Antarctic Camping with Quark Expeditions is a truly remarkable experience. After enjoying dinner aboard the ship guests are taken ashore (by Zodiac) to camp out on the snow for the night, in a bivy sack (tents can be used upon request). Camping is limited to 50 participants. Quark Expeditions staff will prepare the site, including setting up a perimeter. You'll be provided with a mummy-style sleeping bag, bivy sack, insulted sleeping page, sleeping bag liner, Quark Expeditions Parka, and more.

Flightseeing
Helicopters can take guests to places Zodiacs and ships simply cannot reach. Flightseeing, by helicopter, usually includes 7 to 9 passengers and is typically around 10 to 15 minutes in length. Bring your camera!

Sustainability
Quark Expeditions is truly committed to being environmentally responsible. Their "Polar Promise" framework is made up of four pillars:
