Here’s a preview of the luxurious boat that will get us through the most rugged cruise we’ve ever offered.

We’ve held 22 cabins for up to 44 sailors on these gay-friendly voyages (the ship holds up to 199 guests in total). As the newest ship in Quark Expeditions’ fleet, it offers breathtaking public spaces and more outdoor wildlife viewing opportunities than any other expedition ships its size. It also serves up best-in-class operational range and sustainability features that exceed industry standards.

Onboard helicopters take sightseeing to new heights

Onboard helicopters! This is definitely our favourite feature of the boat. Not one, but two, twin-engine helicopters will open up otherwise inaccessible bays and mountaintop glaciers for our daily adventures. Short “flightseeing” trips of 10-15 minutes are included in the voyages and helicopter landing excursions are also available as an optional add-on (weather permitting).
