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.
