Quark Expeditions has released its 2016 arctic itineraries with three fly/cruise options for time-constrained travelers, and several new trips to guide polar travelers in and around magnificent Greenland. Greenland was recently bestowed a solid ranking in The New York Times’ 52 Places To Visit In 2015.

The three new fly/cruise itineraries:

13-day Arctic Express: Greenland’s Northern Lights (Cruise North, Fly South)

10-day Arctic Express: Greenland’s Northern Lights (Fly North, Fly South)

13-day Arctic Express: Greenland’s Northern Lights (Fly North, Cruise South)

New itineraries aboard the small ship Sea Adventurer include a 13-day voyage to the seldom-visited lands of the Arctic Archipelagos: Spitsbergen and Franz Josef Land voyage, and a culturally-diverse 13-day Greenland to Canada: Inuit, Ice and Wildfire adventure embarking from Kangerlussuaq, Greenland.

The popularity of the Northwest Passage, spurred by the recent discovery of the Franklin Expedition’s lost HMS Erebus ship, has resulted in the addition of another voyage to this fabled region, the in-depth 20-day Northwest Passage: Fury and Hecla expedition. This marks the second Quark voyage to this notable destination, along with the Northwest Passage: Franklins Legend.

The nimble adventure ship Ocean Nova is home base for Greenland fly/cruise passengers, and sees the addition of Scotland to Spitsbergen: Across the Arctic Circle, an expedition of the northern Atlantic offering a taste of Norse and Viking history, the exceptional landscape of the Norwegian Fjords, and plentiful opportunities to view rare birdlife.

“Quark offers polar travelers a wide range of options for experiencing all the Arctic has to offer, including our new destinations,” said Quark Expeditions® President, Andrew White.

Additionally, polar travelers can take advantage of Quark’s Arctic 2016 Savings of up to 25 percent per person on select Arctic 2016 voyages when booked by May 1, 2015.
