Explorers, join us on an adventure.
At Quasar Expeditions, our vision is to create authentic, exclusive, unique, and meaningful land and sea experiences for our fellow travelers. Voted the #1 Small Ship Ocean Cruise Line by Travel+Leisure two years in a row, we’ve spent 33 years serving those who delight in travel, not tourism.
Guests come to us seeking layers of depth and contrast: meaningful interactions with humans and the earth, well-appointed accommodations, unparalleled adventures, five star cultural cuisine, and awe-inspiring wildlife encounters. In turn, Quasar travelers become not only expedition enthusiasts, but conservators.
From hand-picked naturalist guides to the friendliest staff you’ll ever meet, our team is comprised of passion. Whether you’re exploring Galapagos, Patagonia, Chile, Ecuador, or Peru, we promise authentic experiences and lifetime memories.
Destinations
Galapagos Islands – Ocean Expeditions
The ultimate cruising experience in Darwin's laboratory.
33 Years ago we pioneered high-end, small-yacht travel in Galapagos so you could explore the Islands the way Darwin once did. Cruise Galapagos aboard our two signature yachts, one of which was owned by a Princess.
Patagonia – Overland Expeditions
Venture into the heart of Patagonia in your own Jeep® and away from the crowds.
Drive on your own, or with a guide, through Chile's Torres del Paine National Park and Argentina's Los Glaciares National Park. Unwind after each day's activities in some of the best properties in the region.
Ecuador - expeditions in the middle of the world
4 worlds in one place: the Amazon, the Andes, the Pacific Coast and the Galapagos.
Located right on the equator, this is the smallest country in the rugged and spectacular Andes. Ecuador holds within its boundaries an incredible variety of landscapes and cultures that will amaze even the most seasoned traveler.
Peru - expeditions in the land of the incas
Immerssive experiences and rich traditions around every turn.
From the iconic sights of Machu Picchu and the Sacred Valley, to the floating islands of Puno and the ancient festivals happening country-wide, explore with us Peru's vibrant cultures and their mermerizing traditions.
