Cruise Line ProgramsPolar specialists who have spent decades taking travellers to Antarctica and the Arctic.
Quark Expeditions focuses almost entirely on the polar regions, and that focus shows in every part of the experience.
Its flagship, Ultramarine, carries two helicopters for flightseeing and remote landings. Expedition teams lead landings, Zodiac cruises and adventure options such as kayaking and camping on the ice.
For an incentive group that wants the most dramatic places on earth, Quark is a natural choice. If you are still weighing lines against each other, the at-sea overview lays out how we compare them.
Flightseeing and landings from the air on Ultramarine voyages.
Kayaking, camping and other activities for attendees who want more.
Decades of experience in the Arctic and Antarctica.
Modest guest numbers keep the group close.

We will match the voyage to your dates and group.
Buy the Sea has been placing corporate groups at sea for twenty-six years, across every major line. We know how Quark works, and we know what to ask for and when to ask for it so that your program gets the ships, the spaces and the dates it needs. That is the part we handle.
Bring us a headcount, a budget and a range of dates. We will come back with real options with Quark — and across every other line, because we represent all of them and we are paid by the cruise line, never by you. There is no fee, no markup and no obligation. Here is why that matters.
Within reason, and often more of it than planners expect — signage, screens, key cards, venue naming and private events are all on the table. What is possible comes together at negotiation, and we will walk you through it.
Full charters are possible, subject to dates, and suit polar incentive programs well. We will price it with you.
Nothing. We are compensated by the cruise line, never by you. Twenty-six years of doing it this way is covered in why Buy the Sea.
