Kids Go Free in Arctic ’23 with Quark Expeditions
SEATTLE, WA, June 1, 2023–Quark Expeditions, the global leader in polar adventures, has announced a summer deal for adventure-loving guests who dream of the ultimate family adventure in the Arctic. For a limited time (June 1 to September 20, 2023), kids, adolescents and teens travel free with their families on all Arctic 2023 voyages.
“Taking your children into the Arctic wilderness is one of the most educational and life-changing experiences you can provide your child,” said Andrew White, President of Quark Expeditions. “I traveled to the Polar Regions with both of my children, when they were 14 and 15 years old, and the profound impact on them was astounding. Exploring the Arctic deepened their connection to nature and created family memories that we still talk about more than a decade later. As a parent, I look back at those Arctic moments as some of the most meaningful bonding experiences with my children. Their transformation was profound. So, what better way to celebrate the summer season than by announcing an offer that will enable guests to have the ultimate family adventure.”
For a limited time (June 1 to September 20, 2023), kids, adolescents ad teens travel free with their families on all Arctic 2023 voyages to Greenland, the Canadian High Arctic and Spitsbergen. The deadline for this offer is June 30, 2023.
“The chance to sail down the historic Northwest Passage, visit Inuit communities to learn about their history and culture, and spot polar bears in the remote Canadian Arctic are the kinds of family experiences that create memories of a lifetime,” said White. “Equally transformative are family adventures in Greenland, where guests and their children can go heli flightseeing over the Greenland Ice Sheet and camp overnight beside the 70-km long Tasermiut Fjord. And what child wouldn’t love the chance to observe polar bears in the wilds of Spitsbergen!”
Quark Expeditions also offers a comprehensive educational program that’s geared to guests of all ages.
This offer applies to all Arctic 2023 voyages.
