Save up to 30% on Antarctic voyages with Quark Expeditions

Embark on an extraordinary journey to Antarctica to cross the Antarctic Circle with Quark Expeditions and save up to 30% on select Antarctic voyages in 2026 and 2027.

For more than 30 years, Quark Expeditions has turned its passion for the polar regions into unforgettable adventures exclusively in the Arctic and Antarctic. Few people will ever set foot on the Seventh Continent, and even fewer achieve the rare milestone of crossing the Antarctic Circle at 66°33′ South. Quark Expeditions offers more ways to reach these milestones than anyone else, whether flying over the Drake Passage to spend more time in Antarctica, soaring by helicopter for a new vantage point, or combining a Circle crossing with extended journeys to the Falkland Islands and South Georgia.

Four unforgettable ways to experience the Antarctic Circle

1. Crossing the Circle: Southern Expedition: Quark Expeditions’ classic 14-day voyage rewards passengers daily with views of dramatic ice formations, humpback whales swimming alongside the ship, leopard seals diving beneath your Zodiac, penguins sliding off icebergs into crystal waters, or giant petrels soaring above the crackling sea.  
2. Antarctic Express: Crossing the Circle: This unique journey combines the ease of flying over the Drake Passage with the ultimate polar milestone—crossing the Antarctic Circle, all in one 11-day voyage from Punta Arenas, Chile.  
3. Antarctica by Helicopter: Crossing the Circle and the Peninsula: Quark Expeditions’ brand-new 14-day Antarctica by Helicopter itinerary includes opportunities for guests to soar above the Antarctic landscape in one of Ultramarine’s twin-engine helicopters. Our goal is to maximize helicopter adventures throughout your voyage so you can experience perspectives of the 7th Continent no one else can offer. Your helicopter-supported excursions—included in the cost of the trip—feature multiple opportunities for heli flightseeing, as well as a heli landing. 
4. Epic Antarctica: The Falklands, South Georgia and Crossing the Circle: Our Epic Antarctica voyage is so named for a reason: it includes every major Antarctic highlight. Over 23 adventure-filled days, you’ll travel from the Falkland Islands, home to albatross, dolphins, and five species of penguins, to South Georgia, where you’ll witness 450,000 breeding pairs of king penguins, before continuing to the stunning Antarctic Peninsula and, ultimately, crossing the Antarctic Circle.
