Quark Expeditions has opened bookings for its Arctic 2027 and Antarctic 2027/28 voyages — earlier than ever before in the company’s history. Quark says the decision reflects strong global demand.

With refreshed itineraries designed to explore new regions and enhance guest experiences, Quark Expeditions says it continues to push the boundaries of immersive polar exploration. The upcoming seasons will highlight the brand’s commitment to providing unparalleled off-ship access and delivering the widest range of activities available in the polar travel market today.

For Canadian travel advisors, this early release offers a head start on selling once-in-a-lifetime expedition voyages to some of the most remote and awe-inspiring destinations on Earth — backed by Quark Expeditions’ three decades of polar expertise.

“From a voyage into the Weddell Sea, to added Science and Discovery programming and culinary experiences, these seasons deepen what Quark does best: authentic, expertly guided polar exploration,” said Catherine Lawton, Senior Director of Product Development. 

To celebrate the announcement, Quark Expeditions is offering an early booking bonus for select departures for a limited time. Until December 31st, guests can save up to $2,000 + 10%.  

“Launching earlier lets our guests and trade partners plan with confidence and a broader selection,” added Lawton. “Guests benefit from the most experienced polar expedition team in the industry and unparalleled access for authentic, personal polar experiences.”  

Returning favourites from Svalbard in Spring: Sea, Ice, Pristine Snow and Wildlife, to the iconic Spitsbergen Circumnavigation: A Rite of Passage, and Discovering the 7th Continent, continue to give guests endless ways to connect with the polar regions. Both seasons are available on Quark Expeditions diverse fleet of small, polar built ships: Ultramarine, Ocean Explorer and World Voyager.  

Arctic 2027 and Antarctic 2027/2028 will be open for booking beginning October 21, 2025, trade partners can access full itineraries, dates, and pricing via the Quark Expeditions Agent Portal. Travellers can speak with a Polar Travel Advisor for tailored recommendations.
