Quark Expeditions Minimum Age Policy

Quark Expeditions welcomes passengers of the age of 8 and above and under the age of 16 at the time of travel with a signed waiver by a parent prior to commencement on any Expedition, provided they meet height and weight requirements (weight of 64lbs or 29kg and 48" or 1.2 m. tall). Children under 8 years old at the time of travel or children, regardless of age, who do not meet the above weight and/or height criteria are not allowed to participate in the Expedition.

For children allowed to travel the following terms apply:

Children on Vessel-based trips

Any child under the age of eighteen (18) years of age must be accompanied in the same or connecting suite by a parent or other responsible adult twenty-one (21) years of age or older. In addition, if the adult accompanying this child is not a parent, a "Parental Consent Guardianship Form" must be signed by a parent or legal guardian and received by QEI prior to sailing. Children under eighteen (18) years of age are not permitted in any casino or other area that may be designated as not accessible to certain ages by QEI or the owner of the Vessel.

No childcare services will be provided on board the Vessel.

Children and Vessel-based Adventure Options

Adventure Options on vessels are only available for all persons over the age of 16. Children under the age of 16 are not allowed to participate in Adventure Options. Parents must be with children under the age of 16 at all times, so the parent's participation in Adventure Options may be limited.

Minimum Age Policies are subject to change by the cruise line. For the most current Quark Expeditions Minimum Age Policies, please refer to the Quark Expeditions website.
