Antarctica Cruises

We embarked on an Antarctic cruise in February 2025, with the amazing support of Joel, who coordinated every detail perfectly and handled all our questions with QUARK, who in turn organized the expedition wonderfully. Antarctica is breathtaking—an indescribable experience. It feels like traveling to another planet. The landscapes and wildlife are astonishing (we were incredibly lucky—not only did we see penguins and seals, but we also sailed daily alongside numerous blue whales). I highly recommend the **QUARK** team—the ship is outstanding, offering the quality of a luxury hotel with excellent service and Michelin-level food. The professional staff are true experts, delivering the experience in a powerful, enjoyable, and deeply human way. And of course, I must again mention **Joel from Antarctica Cruises**, who was there with us every step of the way—through all the planning, forms, and countless questions—always patient and fully supportive.

We went on a cruise to Antarctica in December 2024 and had an experience of a life time. We got to see breathtaking views, encounter many wild animals especially penguins, and enjoy luxurious days filled with exceptional services and delicious food. We truly recommend this trip to anyone interested. Last but not least, we would like to extend special thanks to Joel, our contact at Antarctica cruises, who made this wonderful adventure possible. He has been extremely helpful and supportive ever since the first time we contacted to ask about different cruise options. Thank you Joel and the entire Antarctica cruises team for this unforgettable experience.

The Antarctica trip truly exceeded our expectations! The ship and crew deserve more than five stars for their excellence and devotion to their guests happiness. They did everything in their power to deliver 110% of what they promised in the adverts. As advertised, the landings were subject to weather restrictions, but for every one that we couldn’t do because of weather they substituted another of equal or better value, so mission accomplished! One time, we were stopped from traveling to a landing site because the channel was blocked by icebergs, so they took us to another site where they did their first landing on floating sea ice. Awesome! They always did an incredible job of adjusting and overcoming obstacles. And the Drake Passage was calm both ways – bonus! It was all so marvelous that it’s hard to pick only one highlight, but for me it was the beautiful icy landscapes everywhere we went, including waking up to glaciers or icebergs out our balcony window when we woke up in the morning. Amazing!

I just got back from an Antarctic Expedition cruise on the Ocean Albatros ship. Cruise embarked from Ushuaia Argentina from February 19 - March 3, 2025. Not surprisingly, the Drake lived up to it infamous reputation as we stayed anchored for about 2 days in Beagle channel. Regardless, I worked thru Joel and he was superb. He was professional, curteous, informative, and most appreciated was that he was patient. All the information he provided was appreciated and absolutely true. The cruise included the cost of the parka and the use of excellent calf high rubbers boots. The ship was clean and did not want for anything, the cabin, food and operations were superb. I highly recommend both Joel and this company for anyone looking for an expedition cruise. The arrangements made this cruise truly an experience of a lift time.

Expect exceptional, excellent service with whatever our heart desires. I only cared about the offerings and found a representative that took care of us throughout the booking process, to the details of the cruise, and following up after the cruise. Gareth was knowledgeable, kind, and patient. It's more than enough to have this experience once in a lifetime. I've concluded it's ok to ask how does it get any better than this. I would only do this again using Antarctica Cruises to find the answer to this question.The expedition cruise was unbelievable but my experience started with the booking.

We're all set for our Antarctica expedition in January 2026. It's a daunting task going through all of the various options, etc. We can't thank Gareth Evans enough for his patience and expertise in helping guide us through the process. He was INCREDIBLY responsive with detailed answers to all of the crazy questions that we threw at him. We especially appreciated his negotiating expertise in going to bat for us in helping us get the rooms that we wanted at the price that we could afford. Thanks Gareth!

Joel was extremely helpful and detailed with all his communications. He is very professional and would not hesitate to use him again.
