Ocean Explorer je moderan, elegantan i posebno dizajniran za polarna istraživanja. Ovaj brod za 138 putnika opremljen je najnovijom tehnologijom ekspedicijskih brodova. Jedna od ključnih značajki broda je ULSTEIN X-BOW®, inovacija u pomorskom inženjerstvu koja zahvaljujući obrnutom pramcu osigurava ugodno i glatko plovidbeno iskustvo. Na pramcu se nalazi dvokatna, prozračna knjižnica ispunjena svjetlom, koja unosi osjećaj prostranosti u ekspedicijski brod.Prostrane kabine odišu modernim, skandinavskim dizajnom po mjeri, a gotovo sve imaju vlastite verande. Gosti se mogu opustiti i pronaći udobnost u prostranoj teretani, sauni s velikim prozorima te u dva vanjska jacuzzija.Ocean Explorer nudi obilje vanjskih vidikovaca i višeslojne vanjske palube, idealne za fotografiranje na daljinu i promatranje divljih životinja. Brod je opremljen flotom od 15 Zodiaca koji omogućuju gostima brzo i sigurno iskrcavanje za avanture izvan broda. Osim dobro opremljenih i prostranih javnih prostora, Ocean Explorer posjeduje vodeći sustav održivosti u industriji, uključujući i gorivno učinkovite Rolls Royce motore.

Enrichment
Every vessel in our fleet becomes an expedition base camp. Unpack once. Visit an exciting range of places, because the ship moves from place to place. The ships are equipped with inflatable landing crafts known as Zodiacs. They are used for shore landings and ocean-level cruising.
Activities off the ship are called shore landings or Zodiac cruising. These are daily activities. In the Arctic, you may visit Inuit in their home communities. In the Antarctic, you may visit research stations manned by scientists who brave the extreme environment to add to our knowledge of wildlife, climate and ice. You will hike carpeted tundra valleys or glistening ice fields. Optional activities include kayaking, cross-country, camping, skiing and mountaineering.
The capacity of the vessel determines where you go ashore and how often in Antarctica.
In Antarctica, we operate under International Association of Antarctica Tour Operators (IAATO) guidelines that limit the number of travelers and Expedition Staff ashore during a landing. No more than 100 people can be ashore at any one time, and in some locations that number is 50. Quark operates small expedition vessels, and none of our Antarctic vessels carry more than 199 travelers.
Izleti izvan broda
S četiri zasebne luke ukrcaja na razini mora i flotom od 15 Zodiaca, Ocean Explorer pruža izvanredan izbor aktivnosti izvan broda, uključujući krstarenje Zodiacima i veslanje, omogućujući vam duboku povezanost s polarnom divljinom.
Ekspedicijski Tim
The perfect polar expedition doesn't just happen. It takes a team of talented, knowledgeable and experienced professionals to bring it all together. Our Expedition Team is comprised of seasoned veterans with rich backgrounds in marine biology, history, glaciology, geology and more. With the highest staff-to-guest ratio in the industry, our Expedition Teams safely deliver your trip-of-a-lifetime to maximize your polar adventure every step of the way.
Krstarenje Zodijakom
Zodijaci se koriste za prijevoz do obale, transport vaše prtljage kada je to potrebno, kao i za krstarenje na razini oceana među ledenjacima, kitovima i morskim pticama. Tijekom ekspedicije posjetit ćete udaljena i izolirana mjesta dostupna isključivo zodijacima. Ovi veliki, robusni napuhavajući čamci iznimno su sigurni i posebno su dizajnirani za ekspedicijski rad. Zodijaci su pouzdani radni konji polarnih ekspedicija. Odvojeni zračni odjeljci osiguravaju veliku rezervu plovnosti čak i ako su ovi čvrsti čamci oštećeni. Njihov plosnati donji dio omogućuje pristajanje izravno na šljunčane i ledene plaže koje ćete susresti tijekom vaše polarne ekspedicije.
Morski kajak
Opcija avanture u kajaku otvorena je za sve razine iskustva. Ipak, toplo se preporučuje da imate određeno iskustvo u morskom kajakarenju prije nego što se upustite u kajakarenje u polarnim krajevima s Quark Expeditions. Naši morski kajaci idealan su način da usporite i povežete se s netaknutim prirodnim okruženjem i krajolicima. Sjesti u kajak jedno je od najintimnijih iskustava kojima putnici mogu doživjeti polarne regije — na razini vode, izbliza, gdje možete dodirnuti i osjetiti svaku polarni doživljaj koji možete zamisliti. Program morskog kajaka omogućuje maloj skupini istomišljenika da izgrade neraskidive veze dok istražuju fjordove, ledenjačke stijene ili labirinte morskog leda. U skladu s uvjetima i logističkim mogućnostima, vaši vodiči za kajak nastojat će da veslate što je češće moguće tijekom putovanja. Obično se morski kajakaši prevoze Zodiac čamcima od broda do idealne polazne točke, gdje započinje kajakaška avantura. Gosti se na kraju veslačkog iskustva vraćaju na brod istim načinom. Neke kajakaške ture osmišljene su tako da gosti mogu iskrcati se i istražiti obalu.
Stajanje na dasci s veslom
Stand-up Paddleboarding, popularly known as SUPing, originated in Hawaii. Quark Expeditions is the first company to bring this watersport all the way to Antarctica.
SUPing combines the immersive experience of kayaking but in a standing position. Participants, if they prefer, can kneel, sit or even lie down and stare up at the azure Antarctic sky. Because of their wide base and tail fins, SUP boards are quite stable, enabling participants – after a bit of practice – to stop staring at their feet and admire the surrounding scenery. Imagine seeing Gentoo penguins gliding below you, or making eye contact with a Weddell seal lying on a piece of ice as you paddle by.
Guests receive on-ship and on-water instruction from a qualified SUP guide. In addition, a safety driver (in a Zodiac) stays within range to offer assistance.
Polarni Skok
Polarni skok planiran je jednom tijekom svakog putovanja. Tijekom cijele ekspedicije, vođa ekspedicije i kapetan pomno prate uvjete kako bi odabrali optimalno vrijeme i mjesto. Polarni skok ponekad se odvija na kopnu ili, u mnogim slučajevima, s brodskog mostića ili Zodiaka. Svi sudionici nose sigurnosni pojas pričvršćen za tijelo i uranjaju u polarne vode s boka Zodiaka ili s sigurnog mostića, dok ih, naravno, bodre ostali putnici i ekspedicijski tim.
Pješačenje
Pješačenje u polarnim krajevima razlikuje se od uobičajenog planinarskog iskustva. Ovdje, u krajoliku bez drveća, vi ste najviša figura na horizontu dok koračate preko spužvaste tundre, hrskavog snijega ili pješčanih plaža u udaljenim dijelovima Arktika i Antarktike. Zakoračiti na kopno bilo gdje u polarnim regijama znači da niste samo udaljeni promatrač. Naše organizirane pješačke ture variraju od kratkih izleta do vrhova vidikovaca ili posjeta za promatranje divljih životinja, do dužih šetnji od nekoliko kilometara preko leda, stijena i snijega. Izleti pješačenjem traju od dva do tri sata, s dovoljno vremena za fotografiranje divljih životinja, učenje od iskusnih vodiča ili jednostavno za trenutke divljenja nevjerojatnim polarnim krajolicima. Nije potrebno prethodno iskustvo, ali sudionici bi trebali biti sposobni ući i izaći iz Zodiaka te hodati po neravnom terenu. Opcije pješačenja prilagođene su svim interesima i sposobnostima, od onih koji žele u tišini promatrati krajolik, preko fotografa u potrazi za savršenom slikom, do energičnih putnika koji žele osvojiti vrh u nadi da će ugledati divlje životinje u njihovom prirodnom staništu.
Izlet na veslima
Explore the ocean from a more intimate vantage point on a sit-on-top kayak. No experience is required to manoeuvre these very stable kayaks, allowing you to enjoy an unforgettable experience on the water, taking in breathtaking landscapes and wildlife. Whether it’s your first time in a kayak or you want greater flexibility to try other Adventure options, this shorter excursion is for you.
Paddling in the Polar Regions is highly weather-dependent and a one-time experience. Your kayak guides will attempt to take you out on the water for 1-1.5 hours of paddling. Offered on most voyages, spaces are limited. All equipment, guides and instructions are provided by Quark.
Pricing subject to change based on season. Please proceed to checkout or contact a Polar Travel Adviser for more details.
Kampiranje
Imagine for a moment, staring at the stars in the indigo glow of an Antarctic night as you bed down for the night outside in the elements. The buzz of your daily life becomes a distant memory as you listen to the bray of penguin, the ethereal calls of the Weddell sea – even the exhalation of a humpback whale. And then you fall asleep.
Antarctic Camping with Quark Expeditions is an unforgettable experience. After dinner onboard, you'll be escorted ashore by Zodiac to camp out on the snow for the night in your ready-to-roll bivy sack (tents can be used upon request). Once you decide on your spot, you set up camp and enjoy the peace as the Antarctic night unfolds.
Camping in Antarctica is limited to 50 participants, all of whom will be briefed beforehand on the principals of basic camping. Prior to you settling down for the night, Quark Expeditions staff will prepare the site, including setting up a perimeter in safe, flat to gently-sloping and beautiful site. You’re free to choose where (within the perimeters) you want to settle down for the night.
You’ll be equipped with the following:
- Mummy-style sleeping bag
- Bivy sack
- Insulated sleeping pad
- Sleeping bag liner
- 3 or 4 season tent provided upon request (pending availability)
- Quark Expeditions Parka
- Waterbottle (Small collapsible reusable water bottles provided onboard upon embarkation)
- Muck Boots (insulated waterproof boots provided onboard upon embarkation)
Other recommended gear:
- Base and mid-layer clothing
- Warm hat
- Warm gloves
- Hand-warmers
- Camera and accessories

Useful Info
Vodeća Granica Održivosti
With the latest sustainability technology in polar expedition, the ship features fuel-efficient Rolls-Royce engines and the ground-breaking MAGS gasification system that converts waste into energy, eliminating the environmental impact of waste transportation.
Medicinske Usluge
Quark Expeditions na brodu osigurava liječnika koji govori engleski jezik, a koji upravlja medicinskom klinikom opremljenom uobičajenim lijekovima na recept i osnovnom opremom za prvu pomoć. Ako ste na redovitom liječenju zbog neke bolesti, morate ponijeti dovoljne zalihe lijekova. Preporučujemo da ponesete dodatne zalihe za dvije tjedna u slučaju hitne situacije. Ne možemo preuzeti odgovornost za nedostatak određenog brenda ili vrste lijeka na brodu. Ukoliko se razbolite, liječnik će se poslužiti medicinskim obrascima koje ste ispunili i vratili nam; stoga je iznimno važno da su informacije koje pružite potpune i točne.

Quark Expeditions is the world's leading polar expedition cruise operator, focusing exclusively on Arctic and Antarctic voyages for over 34 years. They stand out with a purpose-built ship (Ultramarine) featuring two twin-engine helicopters for unique aerial excursions, and a fleet of small polar vessels that can reach places larger ships cannot. They were the first operator to take commercial guests to the North Pole and the first to confirm the Snow Hill Emperor penguin colony.
Quark Expeditions sails to Antarctica (including the Antarctic Peninsula, Weddell Sea, South Georgia, Falkland Islands, and Snow Hill), and the Arctic (Iceland, Svalbard, Greenland, the Canadian High Arctic, the Northwest Passage, and the Faroe Islands). Antarctic itineraries include fly/cruise express options and range from approximately 8 to 23 days. Arctic itineraries span 10 to 17+ days, including a 2026 Iceland Circumnavigation and Solar Eclipse voyages.
Quark Expeditions fares include shipboard accommodation, all meals and snacks onboard, guided Zodiac excursions and landings led by expert expedition teams, lectures and educational programming by polar specialists, a complimentary expedition parka, waterproof boots on loan, and airport-to-ship group transfers on embarkation and debarkation days. Fly/cruise itineraries also include charter flights over the Drake Passage. Select off-ship adventure options such as helicopter excursions, kayaking, and camping are available at additional cost.
Quark Expeditions ships offer quality dining with all meals and snacks included, featuring international cuisine and themed culinary events such as the Tundra to Table Inuit Culinary Experience. Onboard enrichment includes daily lectures by polar experts on wildlife, glaciology, history, and photography. Ultramarine features a spa and fitness centre, sauna, and indoor pool. The ships also have observation lounges, a theatre for presentations, and a library stocked with polar literature.
Zodiac cruises and guided shore landings led by expert expedition teams are included in the fare, allowing guests to explore penguin colonies, glaciers, icebergs, and remote beaches. Paid adventure options include helicopter flightseeing and landings (on Ultramarine), sea kayaking, camping on the Antarctic ice, paddleboarding, and photography workshops. Community visits to Inuit settlements in the Arctic are also offered as part of select itineraries.
Quark Expeditions is best suited for adventurous travellers, wildlife enthusiasts, and nature lovers who dream of visiting the polar regions. It appeals to active explorers of all ages who want an immersive, expert-led expedition experience rather than a traditional cruise. Solo travellers are also well catered for. The voyages attract photographers, history buffs, and anyone seeking a once-in-a-lifetime encounter with remote polar wilderness and iconic wildlife like penguins, polar bears, and whales.
Quark Expeditions offers the Explorer Club loyalty program for past guests, providing benefits such as savings on future voyages, priority access to new itineraries, and exclusive offers. They also run seasonal promotions including early booking discounts, last-minute deals, and special group rates. Guests are encouraged to contact a Polar Travel Advisor or visit QuarkExpeditions.com for the latest offers and promotions.
Wi-Fi is available onboard Quark Expeditions ships, though connectivity in polar regions is limited due to the extreme remoteness of the destinations. Their cancellation policy follows a tiered schedule with penalties increasing as the departure date nears, and specific terms vary by itinerary and cabin category. Full cancellation terms are outlined in their booking conditions at QuarkExpeditions.com, and comprehensive travel insurance is strongly recommended for all polar voyages.
