CRUISE: Quark Expeditions puts safety standards on top
Quark Expeditions promises the best health and safety standards after being vetted by independent assessors.
The Polar adventure cruise specialist has had its procedures vetted by The Young Explorers’ Trust, which looks at pre-booking information, the experience and training of the leadership team, staff ratios, third party providers, risk management, emergency planning, insurance and environmental protection.
Quark Expeditions’ president Hans Lagerweij said: "The purpose of the assessment is to secure completely independent, knowledgeable, and competent confirmation that Quark Expeditions does, in fact, adhere to the highest health and safety standards in our industry.
"What’s more, we are the first and only expedition cruise company with an externally audited and accredited health and safety program."
"This was our first assessment for a ship-based expedition company operating in the Polar Regions, and their successful accreditation certainly speaks to Quark’s position as the leader in expeditions to these remote regions," said Dick Griffiths, evaluations coordinator of The Young Explorers’ Trust.
"We can sincerely conclude that Quark Expeditions has health and safety at its very core."
