Ship details: World Explorer is among Quark's fastest ships and is known for its active exploration and onboard luxury. Every spacious suite is comfortable and refined and has either a private walk-out or French balcony for direct ocean views. Passengers can unwind in the glass-domed Observation Lounge for full skyline views, the Explorer Lounge for a drink and the library for more intimate relaxing and reading. There's an outdoor track, gym, sauna, spa and heated pool. World Explorer features two state-of-the-art Rolls Royce hybrid-electric engines, which significantly reduces its environmental impact on the Polar Regions. The ship also utilizes Micro Auto Gasification System (MAGS), the industry-leading system that converts waste into energy at the site that it's generated. 

About Quark Expeditions: The cofounders of Quark Expeditions took the first group of commercial travelers to the North Pole in 1991. They've spent the last three decades taking adventurers on polar expeditions to remote parts of the Arctic and Antarctic where no one else has set foot. Operating smaller ships enables them to sail to remote areas that large ships simply can’t reach. The expedition ships take guests to tiny villages and indigenous settlements, often through narrow fjords and channels. This ability to get off-the-beaten-path and avoid overcrowded shore landings means a much more authentic polar experience. Quark is known for their intimate and friendly staff and one-on-one engagement with expedition leaders, kayak guides and wildlife experts.
