# Quark Expeditions ## About Quark Expeditions has spent decades running small-ship voyages into the polar regions where most travelers never go. They focus on Antarctica and the Arctic with itineraries that combine wildlife viewing, ice landings, and onboard lectures from naturalists and historians. The company works directly with travelers who want more than a standard cruise, offering flexible schedules that change with weather and ice conditions. Their fleet includes ice-strengthened vessels that can reach remote bays and channels closed to larger ships.
