Expedition cruise specialist, Quark Expeditions has unveiled its highly anticipated Antarctic 2026-2027 season, under the banner New Adventures: Whales, Camping and Science.
With 13 meticulously designed itineraries and 43 departures, the upcoming season provides unparalleled opportunities for guests to customise their journey to match their own unique sense of adventure.
Whether camping under the southern sky, soaring above dramatic landscapes by helicopter or listening to whale songs under the guidance of scientists in residence, Quark Expeditions is unlocking more avenues than ever for guests to experience the wonders of Antarctica.
Adventurers eager to secure their spot can enjoy early booking savings of up to 15%, plus an exclusive Early Booking Bonus available until May 31, 2025.
Joining Quark Expeditions’ industry-leading fleet is World Voyager, a modern, 168-passenger expedition ship, ice-classed for polar exploration and retrofitted with scientific discovery and immersion in mind. Guests can enjoy deluxe all-balcony suites with sweeping views of the icy wilderness—ideal for wildlife viewing from the comfort of their room—and access a state-of-the-art presentation theatre and Science Hub.
In the true expedition spirit, Quark Expeditions will also continue to push the boundaries of polar exploration with new and expanded off-ship adventures designed to deliver extraordinary, once-in-a-lifetime experiences. For the upcoming Antarctic season, select departures of Antarctic Explorer: Discovering the 7th Continent aboard the Ocean Explorer will capitalise on pristine early-season conditions, offering enhanced camping experiences providing twice as many guests the chance to spend an unforgettable night under the Antarctic sky.
Additionally, a brand-new adventure Antarctica by Helicopter: Crossing the Circle & the Peninsula (February 16–March 1, 2027) invites guests to soar above Antarctica’s dramatic landscapes aboard Ultramarine’s twin-engine helicopters. This exhilarating expedition offers the rare opportunity to cross the Antarctic Circle, blending breathtaking aerial views with unforgettable terrestrial exploration, offering a minimum of two flightseeing and one heli-landing below the Antarctic Circle, included in the price of the expedition.
