Ultramarine By Quark Expeditions

The newest ship among Quark Expeditions' fleet, made to go beyond the familiar of polar exploration.

Ultramarine offers the most robust portfolio of adventure activities in the industry. It is the most spacious in its category with breathtaking public spaces, and more outdoor wildlife viewing areas than other expedition ships its size. With sustainability features that exceed all industry standards.

 

Features of the Vessel

Four Embarkation Points

Embarkation points on the starboard, port, and stern of the ship mean we can load and embark Zodiacs faster, safer, and easier than ever before.

 

MAGS

Micro Auto Gasification System, is an industry-leading system that converts waste into energy at the site where it's generated. MAGS eliminates the environmental impact of waste transportation. 

 

Twin Engine Helicopters

Two twin-engine helicopters operated from two helidecks allow more passengers to enjoy the polar activities and the unique aerial perspectives of the polar regions.

 

Water-level Zodiac Hangar

An internal Zodiac hangar quickly and safely deploys Ultramarine's twenty Zodiacs. Faster disembarkment, so you can spend more time on off-ship adventures.

Quark Expeditions has spent the last three decades taking travelers on polar expeditions to remote parts of the Arctic and Antarctic where few other humans have ever set foot. The vessels in Quark Expeditions’ fleet accommodate anywhere from 128 to 199 passengers. Smaller ships can take you to remote areas that large ships simply can’t reach. We know we can give guests the best polar experience on a smaller ship. The perfect polar expedition doesn't just happen. It takes a team of talented, knowledgeable and experienced professionals to bring it all together. Our Expedition Team is comprised of seasoned veterans with rich backgrounds in marine biology, history, glaciology, geology, and more. With the highest staff-to-guest ratio in the industry, our Expedition Teams safely deliver your trip-of-a-lifetime to maximize your polar adventure every step of the way.
