“We’ve stayed here three times now. The house reef has no equal. The stargazing was, genuinely, one of the most moving experiences of my adult life.”

★★★★★
“I had stayed at Four Seasons, One&Only and Velaa before visiting Scenic Eclipse II. They are all magnificent. But this is different in a way that is hard to articulate.”

Silver Endeavour
Silver Endeavour is described as the most luxurious expedition ship at sea — a purpose-built polar mega-yacht carrying just 220 guests, all-suite and all-balcony, with a near one-to-one crew ratio and a butler in every suite. Its suites are among the most spacious in expedition cruising, from around 33 square metres to an Owner's Suite of about 174 square metres. The Antarctica Bridge fly-cruise lets guests fly from Punta Arenas over the Drake Passage straight to the Peninsula. All-inclusive of charter flights, excursions and premium drinks, with six dining venues, the highest Zodiac-to-guest ratio in the fleet, kayaks, an ROV and a long-range camera. Ultra-luxury, deeply equipped.

Le Commandant Charcot
Le Commandant Charcot is the world's first luxury hybrid-electric LNG polar icebreaker — a PC2 hull that is the only passenger ship to reach the Geographic North Pole and the deepest Antarctic, the Weddell and Ross Seas and Peter I Island. Around 200 guests sail Antarctica across 123 all-balcony staterooms in French understated luxury, with Alain Ducasse gastronomic dining, indoor and outdoor pools, a winter-garden conservatory, a spa with a sauna and a snow room, and onboard science labs running citizen-science programmes. The Owner's Suite reaches 115 square metres with a 186-square-metre terrace and hot tub. Icebreaker access few vessels can match, under the Ponant flag.

Ultramarine
Ultramarine is Quark Expeditions' adventure-first flagship — a 199-guest polar ship built to get you off the ship faster and further, with two twin-engine Airbus H145 helicopters delivering the fleet's most robust off-ship adventure portfolio, from heli-flightseeing to heli-landings into terrain other ships cannot reach. Around 102 spacious staterooms add heated bathroom floors, balconies on roughly 60 percent, and no-supplement solo cabins; onboard are two restaurants, the Tundra Spa with a sauna and steam room, and the Ambassador Theatre. Built for explorers who want maximum access, with the core voyage inclusive and an a-la-carte adventure menu.
