From flightseeing to heli-hiking, a voyage aboard Quark Expeditions’ Ultramarine promises you nothing short of the ultimate polar expedition experience.

The latest vessel to join the fleet, Ultramarine offers the most comprehensive portfolio of polar activities in the industry, including unparalleled access to some of the most remote and (seemingly) inaccessible corners of the Arctic. Kitted out with two on-board twin-engine helicopters, you’ll have the opportunity to take in the stunning polar landscapes from the sky - a truly mesmerising perspective - and visit destinations only accessible by air.

Other activities on the menu include Zodiac boat tours, heli-hiking, alpine kayaking, stand-up paddle boarding, cross-country skiing and mountain biking. The on-board experience will be just as memorable. Expansive indoor and outdoor observation areas combine with a stylish panorama lounge, lecture theatre, two restaurants and beautifully designed wellness facilities that include a spa, sauna and large gym. Many of the 102 cabins offer step-out balconies where you can watch the passing landscapes from luxury deckchairs and padded loungers.
