We were on the Ultramarine on her maiden voyage to Antarctica! Our goal was the Earnest Shackleton expedition. We enjoyed Christmas and New Year’s on board. 21 days of awesomeness. Everything in this video. I see many people who look familiar. People are wearing masks. We did too as it was during the pandemic. We were blessed beyond to have become part of the Ultramarine family. ❤
Currently planning a trip to the Arctic and thinking of booking with Quark expeditions. Thank you for this video it was helpful. I did have a few questions if you do not mind answering. What room did you book? Also, jackets and boots were provided but what type of pants did you have on and what did your underlayer of clothing look like to keep you warm. Thank you.
Hi Yvonne, there are definitely were. It will all depend what tour you do. If you have sea days, there are more presentations relating to the area you are travelling in. When you are onshore there are staff everywhere who love to give information also. If you have an question, there is always someone available to answer. The presentation room was big, audio was great and you can see a screen from anywhere you sit. Thanks for watching. :)
Hey I have been planning to travel to antarctica with Quark because they are the only ones with the package that crosses antarctic circle along with other main areas. But as I did my research i read horrible reviews about quark and how they cancelled all the cruises just 10 days before the trip and some never got the refund , some got it after 7-8 months. After reading to more than 200 of such reviews I am so scared even though I really want to travel with them. Please help me out. What shall I do ? And how was your experience overall ?
Hi, we have just returned from Antarctica with Quark Expeditions and had an incredible time. If the reviews you are reading are in relation to COVID cancellations, that happened industry-wide, not just with Quark Expeditions. We haven't heard of anybody not being refunded though. Our personal experience was absolutely sensational in both the Arctic and Antarctic with Quark this year. Happy to chat more if you'd like. :)
Yep, it's an expensive parka, but Quark throw in a free epic trip to the most remote regions in the world onboard a luxury expedition ship to sweeten the deal.
