In a bold move that sets a new standard in polar exploration, Quark Expeditions has proudly announced the addition of the M/V Ocean Explorer to its renowned polar fleet. Set to embark on its maiden voyage in the Antarctic 2024/2025 season, this 138-passenger expedition ship is poised to redefine adventure on the icy frontiers of our planet.

Andrew White, President of Quark Expeditions, encapsulates the spirit of this venture: “In the realm of polar exploration, excellence is not just expected but essential. With Ocean Explorer, we merge adventure with luxury, underpinned by the most advanced technology. This ship is more than a vessel; it’s a promise of unforgettable experiences for those who dare to venture into the Polar Regions.”

Ocean Explorer emerges as a beacon of innovation in polar travel. Its distinctive X-Bow design and luxurious two-story forward lounge promise unparalleled stability and comfort, setting the stage for voyages that are as smooth as they are exhilarating. The ship’s advanced expedition technology is a testament to human ingenuity and reflects a deep commitment to safety and sustainability.

Safety and environmental stewardship are at the heart of Ocean Explorer’s design. The ship’s Ice Class 1A and PC6 ratings align it with the elite of polar expedition vessels, including its sister ship, the Ultramarine. These features ensure that the Ocean Explorer can navigate the most challenging polar conditions while adhering to the highest standards of environmental responsibility.

The scope of experiences Quark Expeditions offers is as vast as the polar regions. From kayaking amidst Antarctic icebergs to flightseeing over Greenland’s majestic ice sheet, the Ocean Explorer provides an unrivalled platform for adventure. “Our diverse fleet allows our guests to tailor their journey, whether they seek the thrill of exploration or the tranquility of nature’s grandeur,” White adds.

Crafted by SunStone Maritime Group, the world’s foremost builder of expedition-only ships, Ocean Explorer is a testament to enduring partnerships and shared visions of pioneering polar travel. As bookings open for the Antarctic 2024/2025, Arctic 2025, and Antarctic 2025/2026 seasons, travellers are invited to be part of this groundbreaking journey.

Quark Expeditions continues to lead the way in polar adventures, and with the launch of Ocean Explorer, they invite you to embark on a journey where luxury meets adventure at the ends of the Earth.
