Quark Expeditions, the leader in polar adventures, has released new renderings 
of its game-changing polar expedition ship, Ultramarine, which will set sail in 
the Antarctic 2020.21 season.

The renderings showcase new livery featuring Quark Expeditions' distinctive 
yellow "Q" logo spanning the full height of the ship, reflecting Quark's 
mission to go beyond the predictable. New interior renderings highlight 
Ultramarine's spacious suites as well as a range of striking public spaces, 
including the ship's main restaurant, panorama lounge, lecture theater, ready 
room, polar boutique, spa, sauna and fitness center. 

"We are proud and excited to see the vision behind Ultramarine come to life," 
says Andrew White, president of Quark Expeditions. "From the bold exterior to 
the comfortable, contemporary interior, our internal and external teams have 
come together to create a truly unique ship that will present unprecedented 
possibilities for our guests. This one-of-a-kind ship will provide passengers 
from across the globe an ultra-immersive, ultra-inspiring, ultra-exciting polar 
experience second to none."

In addition to its unmatched portfolio of off-ship adventure options, which 
will include activities such as flightseeing, heli-hiking and heli-skiing, 
Ultramarine will provide guests an exceptional onboard experience, with 102 
suites across nine categories, including six solo suites with floor-to-ceiling 
windows and the largest entry-level twin suites of its class. Each suite has 
been meticulously designed to keep guests inspired by, and connected to, the 
breathtaking polar landscapes outside and will include spacious entryways, 
spa-inspired bathrooms with heated floors throughout and premium sleep zones.

Public spaces on Ultramarine include:

Main Restaurant - Featuring outstanding views from every seat, full access to 
the 360-degree wraparound deck, a wine-tasting bar, and a variety of seating 
configurations to comfortably accommodate all guests and expedition staff.

Panorama Lounge and Bar - A relaxed gathering spot featuring unobstructed 
panoramic views and an outdoor, forward-facing Observation Deck.

Lecture Theater - A comfortable space where passengers learn more from our 
world-class experts about the adventures enjoyed and the wonders to come, 
featuring a high-resolution LED screen, real-time translations, and live 
broadcasting for those who prefer to listen from the ease of their suite.

Wellness Centre - A modern space featuring three distinct areas where guests 
can unwind before their next adventure: a luxurious spa with a wide range of 
treatments, a state-of-the-art sauna featuring floor-to-ceiling windows, and a 
fully equipped fitness room with separate yoga space.

Polar Boutique - Stocked with the industry's top cold-weather expedition gear 
and a carefully curated selection of polar keepsakes, the boutique ensures 
guests have everything they need, including mementos of an unforgettable 
journey.

Ready Rooms - Designed for efficiency and situated next to the Zodiac hangar, 
Ultramarine's two ready rooms include an individual locker for each guest to 
safely store and dry personal items and expedition gear between outings.

"This vessel reflects Quark's guiding ethos to go beyond for our guests," says 
White. "Three decades of polar exploration has taught us a lot - and one of the 
lessons we've taken to heart is that exceptional off-ship experiences are 
heightened by exceptional on-ship experiences. I'm happy to say Ultramarine 
will deliver both."
