It welcomed the 138-passenger polar expedition ship Ocean Explorer.
The ship will set sail under the Quark Expeditions banner at the start of the Antarctic 2024/2025 season.
“Going beyond in the polar regions requires the best expedition team operating the best ships,” says Andrew White, President of Quark Expeditions.
“We’ve got both. Ocean Explorer is the perfect addition to our fleet—for adventure, for luxury, and for leading-edge technology.”
The Infinity class polar expedition ship was delivered in 2021 by Quark Expeditions’ long-standing partner SunStone Maritime Group.
Ocean Explorer‘s rated Ice Class 1A and PC6 place it in the same league as its soon-to-be sister ship, the Ultramarine.
Quark Expeditions is currently taking bookings on Ocean Explorer for the Antarctic 2024/2025, Arctic 2025 and Antarctic 2025/2026 sailing seasons.
