Vessel information
Quest is a capable, yet comfortable ice-class ship operating exciting voyages in the Arctic. Originally built to serve as a ferry on Greenland’s western coast, Quest underwent extensive renovations in 2005 to transform it into an ice-class expedition vessel. Subsequent renovations in 2018 focussed on updating passenger areas with modern comforts and style. At 49-metres long, this ship accommodates just 53 guests in 26 cabins – all of which are furnished with windows and an ensuite bathroom. Cabins come with a variety of sleeping arrangements, with the possibility of double or twin beds, as well as triple configurations.
Operated by Polar Quest, this vessel promises an intimate, personalised experience enhanced by the dedicated service from a highly knowledgeable and passionate team who know the region extremely well. Polar Quest’s small expedition cruises also offer a more relaxed atmosphere, greater focus on the destination, and more time spent ashore, when compared to travelling on board larger ships.
Onboard Quest
Quest’s dining room is located on the lower deck with plenty of porthole windows for natural light. The space feels sophisticated but not overly stuffy, with enough tables surrounded by either chairs or bench-style booth seating for all guests. Between shore landings, several delicious meals are served here each day, ensuring guests are well fuelled for the next adventure. Located on the upper deck, the panorama lounge offers plenty of comfortable seating and extensive views of the vessel’s surroundings. Guests will also find a bar and coffee station here, as well as a small selection of reading materials.
Activities and excursions from Quest
The ship has spacious observation decks from where it is possible to view the beautiful vistas and search for exciting wildlife, and passengers are welcome on the bridge around the clock. When it comes to daily activities, Quest is complemented by a fleet of five zodiacs which ensure safe and seamless excursions. The panorama lounge also doubles as a lecture room, where guests can listen to entertaining and educational talks on the area’s flora, fauna and history.
