The World Voyager - Quark Expeditions
World Voyager—the newest addition to our fleet— is a modern expedition ship built for science and discovery. Every design element, from the deluxe, all-balcony suites—with direct views into the surrounding polar wilderness—to the presentation theater and Science Hub, embody the spirit of discovery: the never-ending urge to explore and learn more about our rugged polar landscapes.
Wellness amenities, such as the spa, sauna, swimming pool, Jacuzzis and outdoor running track, allow guests to rejuvenate throughout their polar expedition. The beautifully designed restaurant and spacious lounges are ideal for guests to gather and engage in lively discussions about the day’s discoveries.
Another pivotal space on World Voyager is the Science Hub, where guests can share knowledge, information and insights with our scientists in residence and our Expedition Guides as part of our Science & Discovery program. The latest Rolls-Royce propulsion technology ensures a comfortable, fuel-efficient sailing experience as World Voyager navigates the Antarctic waters.
Accommodation
World Voyager's 168 guests are accommodated in 84 cabins, most of which feature walk-out balconies, allowing guests to stay connected to the polar environment while in their suite. Guests can choose from five types of beautifully designed cabins—all with floor-to-ceiling windows.
Cabins and suites are outfitted with the essential amenities you'll need to feel comfortable throughout your voyage. If you need extra items such as extra pillows or towels, please contact reception or your cabin attendant.
All Accommodations Feature:SHOWERS AND TOILETS
Each cabin has a private bathroom with shower, toilet and wash basin. Shampoo, conditioner and shower gel are provided for your use. The toilet system is very sensitive and can only handle toilet paper. Please do not deposit any tissues, paper towels, feminine products, etc. in the toilet.
ELECTRIC CURRENT
The electrical supply on board is dual voltage 220/110 volts. You will find standard European round-pin and North American flat-pin electrical outlets as well as USB outlets in your cabin and around the ship. Please be aware that the electricity supply may not be sufficient to power your electronic devices at all times. It is recommended that you check the voltage of your device before plugging it in, as the device may be damaged if the incoming voltage is higher than that for which it is manufactured. Please see QuarkExpeditions.com/en/terms - and-conditions for more information.
HAIRDRYERS
There is a hair dryer included in each cabin.
BATHROBES
The bathrobes in your cabins are on loan for you to enjoy for the duration of your expedition.CABIN TEMPERATURE – CLIMATE CONTROL
You may control your cabin temperature by adjusting the thermostat. If you are sharing a cabin with other travelers, please be considerate of their temperature preferences as well.
LIFE JACKETS
Each cabin is equipped with orange SOLAS life jackets. These life jackets are to be used in case of a ship emergency and during emergency lifeboat drills.
SHARED CABIN COURTESY
Many travelers elect to share a cabin with passengers they may not have previously met. All passengers have their own schedules and preferences. Please be courteous towards the needs of your fellow cabin mates.
HOUSEKEEPING SERVICE
Your cabin will be cleaned on a daily basis. Your towels will be changed along with your bed sheets every third day, subject to the length of the voyage and in accordance with Quark Expeditions®’ sustainability practices. If you would like your towels changed more frequently, please inform your cabin attendant. Leaving a towel on the rack indicates you will be using it again, while putting a towel on the floor or in the shower or sink means you would like it to be washed.
LAUNDRY
A complete list of laundry fees will be provided on board. Request forms and bags are provided in your cabin. Laundry is collected each morning; please allow 48 hours for your laundry to be returned. Ironing services are also available at a minimal charge. We encourage you to take advantage of the laundry services, as it will mean you can pack fewer articles of clothing. If you prefer to hand wash small items in your cabin, please remember to bring environmentally friendly detergent.
SPRINKLER SYSTEM
The sprinkler heads located throughout the ship, and in your room, are very sensitive. They can be activated by even the slightest touch. Please do not hang any items from the sprinkler heads, or smoke anywhere on the ship outside the designated smoking area. Guests activating the sprinkler system may be responsible for damages that occur.

Please store your valuables in the safe in your cabin. We recommend you travel with as few valuables as possible.
