Polar cruising

Quark Expeditions has confirmed the addition of the 138-passenger Ocean Explorer to its polar fleet, commencing the start of the Antarctic 2024/2025 season.

Quark Expeditions has unveiled a new Polar Learning Channel (PLC) designed for both travel advisors and consumers to expand their knowledge on the polar regions.

This week LATTE chats with Jarrod Zurvas, Quark Expeditions’ Regional Sales Director, Asia Pacific. Jarrod has been in the travel industry for over 10 years and joined the Arctic cruise specialist in early 2018, following roles with Scenic Luxury Cruises & Tours and Carnival Australia. The travel junkie has traversed the world, having visited more than 70 countries. He’ll be visiting the White Continent for the seventh time soon, and continues to expand his knowledge of Antarctica.

Add one more travel segment that Forbes Travel Guide (“FTG”) is now affording its star rating: river cruises.
