Established in 1999, PolarQuest is a world leading operator of small ship expedition cruises in Svalbard. Our three expedition ships, built for Arctic waters, take a maximum of 12 or 53 passengers. Such small ships offer an entirely different experience compared to a larger cruise ship. Just imagine – viewing a walrus on an ice floe in a group of 10 – 50 passengers, or to do so in a group of 250 – 500! Small ships can also reach some of the most remote areas and venture into narrow fjords. Sustainability is at the heart of what we do, and all our trips are 100 % climate compensated.
