QUARK EXPEDITIONS OFFERS ARCTIC ‘FAM OF A LIFETIME’

Polar adventures outfitter Quark Expeditions is offering travel advisors the chance to win an Arctic FAM of a lifetime. The ‘Ultimate Summer in The Arctic Sweepstakes’ will reward 10 agents, selected at random, with a spot on its a 13-day “Ultimate Arctic Voyage from Svalbard to Jan Mayen to Iceland,” hosted by one of the company’s Business Development Managers, in July 2025.

“The Ultimate Summer in The Arctic Sweepstakes is all about celebrating the dedication of travel advisors,” says Sebastian Canape, Director of Trade Marketing at Quark Expeditions. “Travel advisors work tirelessly each and every day to make other people’s dreams come true. Now, it’s their chance to experience the beauty of the Arctic and gain the firsthand knowledge and expertise to inspire and promote polar travel to their clients.”

Beginning in the wildlife-rich Spitsbergen, Norway, then travelling to the volcanic wonder of Jan Mayen island in the Greenland Sea, and ending under the midnight sun in Reykjavik, Iceland, the journey showcases “the awe-inspiring glaciers, towering mountains, and historical landmarks that encompass these unique regions.”

The Ultimate Summer incentive coincides with other initiatives by Quark Expeditions, including the launch of its Partner Portal and, most recently, the introduction of the comprehensive Brand Folder, a user-friendly tool offers extensive sales toolkits for promotions and season launches, providing travel advisors with essential assets like images, videos, flyers, social media assets, and pre-recorded webinars. The Brand Folder also features advanced search functionality, download options, image resizing, and white-labelled content, ensuring users can efficiently find and utilize the materials they need to promote Quark’s polar voyages.
