PolarQuest

Informationen für Kunden von Polar-Kreuzfahrten

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 imagen – 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 climate compensated. We also offer expeditions to Antarctica, Greenland and the gems in between.

    Please read about a day amongst the small islands to the north of Orkney mainland, where M/S Stockholm, in true expedition style, found shelter and its passengers got to wander in the footsteps of Vikings.

  • Svalbard's most remote outpost - Kvitøya

    No wind and no swell gave us a rarely seen opportunity. During the night, our journey continued east and just before breakfast we arrived at Svalbard's most remote outpost Kvitøya - the place where the remains of Salomon August Andrée and his two expedition members were found in 1930. By then it had passed 33 years since they left Virgohamna and headed out on their ill-fated expedition with a hydrogen balloon. Last summer, Niklas Nilsson visited this mythical island with our gem M/S Stockholm. Read about his experience!

Our travelers' experiences

We have been home a few days now, but are still ‘blown away’ by our holiday in Svalbard. We will remember our time in the Arctic forever. The hospitality and the food on the ship were excellent, and the guides were 5 star plus. This has proved to have been one of our best holidays ever, and one which we would hope to repeat. David & Maureen Macleod
We have just come back from Svalbard and have had the most wonderful time! It passed our wildest dreams. Thank you to everyone who helped us to organise it. The whole holiday from booking to going and being there has been excellent. David & Jackie March
I want to thank you for the fabulous trip to Svalbard. It far exceeded my expectations of this polar region. We had wonderful sightings of polar bear, reindeer, walruses, an arctic fox, harp seals, bearded seals, humpback whales, many sea birds and arctic flowers. Peggy Gerick
Our trip was faultless, everything was so well organised, and every person so pleasant. We have travelled a lot, to over 80 countries in the world, with different companies, but yours “PolarQuest” certainly came out the top, yes you are our no. 1 company. Janet & Eddie Brown
In my experience, a wonderful thing about your company, i.e. all the staff and crew, is that everyone tries their very best, and they are so well selected for the jobs they are doing. Intelligence, personality, experience… it made the trip a charmed cruise from planning to completion. The support I got from you in the office was excellent – everything went as planned and all details were correct! Yvonne Higgs McHugh & Tony Brake
