On Top of the World
Imagine being one of the fortunate few to stand at 90º North,
with a complimentary drink in hand—and everywhere you look
is south. That is the essence of Quark's 14-day North Pole: The
Ultimate Arctic Adventure aboard 50 Years of Victory, one of the
most powerful nuclear icebreaker in the world.
Explore the Arctic by land and by sea. Crush through multiyear
ice on the Arctic Ocean, sightsee by helicopter on the lookout
for walruses, seals, whales, and polar bears, or take a tethered
hot-air balloon, weather permitting. Experience Zodiac cruises so
breathtaking you'll be left speechless. Hiking on Franz Josef Land
will have you in awe of the flora and fauna as you visit seabird
colonies and retrace the footsteps of early explorers.
