Quark Expeditions has announced plans to charter World Voyager from Atlas Ocean Voyages for three consecutive Antarctica seasons, starting in November 2026. The 168-guest, all-suite, all-balcony expedition vessel will serve Quark’s Antarctic itineraries before returning to Atlas at the end of each 4.5-month season to operate in Northern Europe and the Arctic.

HX, previously known as Hurtigruten, is revolutionizing the expedition cruising experience by introducing an all-inclusive offering across its entire fleet. This strategic move aims to enhance the onboard experience for guests, aligning HX with the luxury and convenience found in ultra-luxury expedition cruise lines like Silverseas and Seabourn.
