Experience the High Arctic without sacrificing comfort on Quark Expedition's 11 (or 12)-day Svalbard in Spring: Sea Ice, Pristine Snow and Wildlife expedition — a rare opportunity to witness Svalbard bathed in 24 hours of daylight while still wrapped in its snow-covered Arctic splendour. As mountains remain cloaked in snow and expansive sea ice stretches across the landscape, you’ll witness the Arctic slowly awakening. Birds return to the cliffs, meltwater begins to flow, and the frozen silence gives way to the first signs of spring in one of the planet’s most remote wildernesses. Between wildlife encounters and daily exploration, retreat to exceptional onboard wellness spaces of the Ultramarine, with access to dedicated spa facilities and a fully equipped gym — offering a chance to recharge while surrounded by glaciers, drifting ice, and endless Arctic light. It is an expedition that balances remote polar adventure with moments of restoration in one of the world’s most extraordinary settings.

Experience the Falkland Islands on relaxed coastal hikes with Quark Expeditions, where gentle trails trace the rugged shoreline and open into sweeping views of wind-shaped hills and empty horizons.

This is a landscape defined by space and silence — where seabirds ride the currents above rocky cliffs, and tussock grass moves with the constant Atlantic wind. The pace is unhurried, allowing time to absorb the details: shifting light, distant wildlife, and the raw simplicity of island life.

Along the way, discover hidden coves, quiet beaches, and vantage points that reveal the Falklands’ understated beauty — a reminder that some of the most powerful wilderness experiences come not from intensity, but from stillness and observation.

Experience the raw wilderness of South Georgia while enjoying unexpected moments of comfort aboard Quark Expeditions’ Ultramarine, where world-class wellness facilities meet one of the most remote landscapes on Earth.

After days spent exploring vast king penguin colonies, dramatic mountain scenery, and historic whaling stations, return to the ship’s spa and sauna — a warm, restorative space framed by endless Southern Ocean views.
