 |  | | | Ready for Antarctic adventure? Now it's easier than ever
Fewer travellers, penguin hatchlings and a great airfare credit make this November a perfect time to explore the magnificent Antarctic region.
November is a magical time in Antarctica. The sun returns, and winter releases its icy grip. When you travel at this time you'll get the best of both worlds: oceans still sparkled with winter sea-ice, and long vistas of untouched snow - but plenty of springtime action too: nesting penguins and scads of seals hauling out on ice shelves.
As if this wasn't reason enough, you can also save big money when you book your Antarctic cruise before July 30th. With each booking, you'll receive a $750 USD credit towards your airfare - and that's a big help getting to Ushuaia, Argentina, departure point for most Antarctic excursions.
Finally, this year marks a change in the Antarctic cruise industry. Because of a ban on ships using heavy fuel oil, many large cruise ships are no longer allowed in Antarctic waters. Quark, with its long history of environmental care for both polar regions and its smaller expedition ships, is now one of the only ways to tour this spectacular region. And, if we do say so ourselves, we're still the best!
Take your pick of two different adventures: the 11-day Antarctic Explorer, or the 20-day Explorers' Quest. There are several departures for both trips, giving you plenty of options.

This year's North Pole expedition has just left, but you'll have two chances to travel to the top of the world next year. Plus, if you book before September, you'll save up to $1690 in airfare!

If standing at the top of the world is on your "bucket list," you're in luck, because your chances of doing so in 2012 just doubled.
Next year we're able to offer not one, but two trips to the North Pole - one leaving June 24 and the other on July 8. This 14-day trip of a lifetime starts in Helsinki, Finland, where you'll catch a charter flight to historic Murmansk, Russia. There you'll board your northbound ship - 50 Years of Victory, the most powerful icebreaker in the world.
At the Pole, there's another treat in store, for you'll be able to take part in a tethered-flight hot air balloon ride. That's right - not only will you be at the North Pole; you'll be floating above it in a hot air balloon! Oh, and drinks are on the house, all trip long.
Right now we're also able to offer you a significant savings on airfare. When you book before September 30, we'll cover the cost of your return flights from Helsinki to Murmansk. That's a savings of $1690 USD per person!
Hot-air balloon rides, free drinks and a special airfare offer? 2012 is definitely the year to cross "North Pole Adventure" off your bucket list. But don't wait too long. There are only 50 hot-air balloon flights available on each trip, and they'll be booked on a first-come, first-served basis. (Please note there is an additional charge to book your balloon flight).

North Pole Itinerary details > |  |  | | Floret Lyew: making travel dreams come true for over 20 years
You may never lay eyes on Quark's Passenger Operations Manager, Floret Lyew. But trust us, she's taking care of you every step of the way.
| |
Some years ago, when Quark was pioneering tourist travel into the Russian and Siberian Arctic, Operations Manager Floret Lyew was tasked with organizing charter flights in and out of Anadyr, Russia.
Everything was under control until she discovered the airport in Anadyr wasn't open on weekends. "I think it's the only airport in the world with such a schedule," she chuckles today, but back then it was no laughing matter. Floret had over 100 passengers due to fly into Anadyr on a Saturday, and she was not taking no for an answer.
Fortunately, with 20 years experience in the cruising business, and a network of international contacts James Bond would envy, she was able to pull a few strings and get the airport opened.
This is just one of hundreds of small miracles Floret performs every day for Quark's passengers. From her small office in Connecticut, she manages everything - and we do mean everything - about passenger travel. Hotel rooms before and after your trip? Done. Charter flights from Helsinki to remotest Russia? No problem. Visas for five countries? Piece of cake.
We like to think all our staff are exceptional, and Floret is no exception. When you travel with Quark, you travel with the best in the business - and that means a superbly organized, worry-free adventure every step of the way.
