Peregrine makes return to Antarctica

INTREPID Group and Chimu Adventures have collaborated to launch a new program of small-group polar expeditions to Antarctica from Oct 2020.

The new range of cruises will operate under Intrepid Group’s Peregrine brand, marking its return to Antarctic waters.

“We know there is a huge appetite for a more sustainable and experiential style of cruise, so we’re thrilled that this partnership will take Peregrine back to operating polar expeditions in our own small group sustainable style,” said Intrepid Group Chief Executive Officer James Thornton.

Sailings will be operated by Chimu’s newly refurbished 199-passenger Ocean Endeavour, which offers a range of amenities and activities on board such as a health and wellness centre, salt water pool, and yoga classes.

Packages will offer a range of optional activities with specialised guides such as kayaking, snowshoeing, photography tours and even ice-camping.

Sustainability is also at the forefront, with all departures to be carbon offset through a series of green standards such as no single-use plastic on board, reusable water bottles, and only serving sustainable seafood.

The announcement is the next phase in the joint partnership between Intrepid and Chimu, with the two groups now one of the largest sellers of Antarctica.

Prices for the new voyages start from $7,090pp - for more information CLICK HERE.
