Wow what trip! I had always wanted to go to Antarctica, I finally made it and I certainly wasn't disappointed. The Quark Expedition team were absolutely brilliant and I had to keep pinching myself, especially the first day in the Antarctic Circle when I went on deck and saw us sailing past iceburgs - I think that moment will stay with me forever. The ship was spacious, warm and very ...

I 1st heard about Quark Expedition from the author who wrote "Swimming to Antarctica" several years ago. Going to Antarctica has been a top travel bucket list item for a long time. I decided to go now as the trip wasn't going to get any cheaper and while we still have an Antarctica. I looked at other cruise lines and none offered the Falkland Islands and South Georgia Islands along with ...

The boat and ground experiences in Ushuaia were beyond disappointing. First Impressions of the Ocean Diamond: stained and dirty carpet, peeling wallpaper, and filth in every corner. Peeling paint, paint slopped onto windows, aged and dirty floral decorations. The straps holing lifeboat 1 were so corroded that it was obvious they had not been loosened in a very long time and gave rise to ...

When my wife and I decided to travel to Antarctica, we researched various itineraries with different companies. We definitely wanted to include Falkland Islands and South Georgia Islands as long as we are in the region. Quark provided the best itinerary at the time of the year we wanted to travel. This decision was validated by a very positive review in a national travel magazine. We just came ...

A expedition to Antarctica does not have to be Rough, something I learned on my trip on the Ocean Diamond. The Captain and the expedition leader made choices of site landings and lengths of stays based on their knowledge and experience and paying attention to the weather. We experienced 2 weeks of solid good sailing. able to zodiac or make landings every day. The expedition team from Quark truly ...

Great expedition - poor service - Noble Caledonian

This ship was contracted by Noble Caledonia to circumnavigate Iceland. Nobel Caledonia would have to be the worst organised cruise ship company I have dealt with. Their systems were clunky, they could cope with two people in the same cabin with different addresses so kept sending material to only one party. They were advised that both of us would be arriving in the UK before the cruise and ...
