Quark Expeditions launched its Arctic 2022 season on May 3, kicking off with a 7-day ‘Spitsbergen Highlights: Expedition in Brief’ voyage aboard the line’s new ship Ultramarine, which the company calls “a game-changer.”

"We're so proud of our recent Arctic season launch for myriad reasons," said Andrew White, President of Quark Expeditions.

"Not only is this Ultramarine's inaugural season in the remote Arctic waters, but it also heralds a new way of exploring the polar regions -- on a ship that's been designed with a pioneering mix of advanced sustainability features that exceed industry standards.

In addition to Ultramarine's first Arctic sailing, Quark’s 2022 Arctic season includes a mix of new itineraries and experiences in Greenland and the Canadian Arctic.

These include the helicopter-supported ‘Greenland Adventure: Explore by Sea, Land and Air itinerary,’ as well as ‘Tundra to Table: Inuit Culinary Experience.’

The latter offers guests a one-of-a-kind adventure into the culinary traditions of the Inuit in Greenland and Nunavut. Guests who participate in this on-ship ‘Adventure Option’ will enjoy dishes from these Arctic regions prepared by Inuit chefs, and learn about local Inuit culture and culinary traditions.

Quark Expeditions' Arctic 2022 season features diverse regions, including Spitsbergen, Greenland and the Canadian High Arctic, on multiple small polar vessels.
