"We're beyond thrilled to make it official: It's all systems go for our 
Antarctic season to launch on November 25, 2021, now that Argentina is opening 
up its ports and airports to international travelers on November 1," said 
Thomas Lennartz, Vice President of Sales at Quark Expeditions. "And we're 
doubly excited because our highly-anticipated Antarctic 21/22 season will also 
be the inaugural sailing season of our technologically-advanced ship 
Ultramarine, whose maiden voyage will the specially-curated Solar Eclipse 2021: 
Totality in Antarctica, with South Georgia expedtion."

While many itineraries in Quark Expeditions' Antarctic 21/22 season have sold 
out already, cabins are still available on two one-of-a-kind voyages:

"All of the voyages in our Antarctic 21/22 season are designed to fulfill the 
pent-up desires of travelers who've long dreamed about exploring the Polar 
Regions," said Lennartz. "Thanks to Ultramarine's two twin-engine helicopters, 
20 quick-deploy Zodiacs, superb onboard amenities--including a spa with 
floor-to-ceiling windows--and the largest portfolio of off-ship adventure 
activities in the industry, our guests will celebrate their return-to-travel in 
the most memorable way possible."
