For travellers dreaming of the White Continent, planning ahead has never been more important. Chimu Adventures has officially launched its 2027/2028 Antarctica cruise season.
With voyages now available to book through March 2028 and a host of new itineraries and early-bird savings designed to help travellers secure their ideal polar expedition.
The new season brings together sailings from Chimu’s carefully selected expedition partners, offering a wide range of Antarctic experiences — from classic peninsula explorations to more remote journeys through the sub-Antarctic islands and Ross Sea.
A faster way to reach Antarctica
One of the standout additions to the upcoming season is the introduction of fly-cruise Antarctica expeditions aboard the Ocean Nova, giving travellers the option to skip the Drake Passage entirely or avoid it on one leg of the journey.
By flying directly from Ushuaia or Punta Arenas, travellers can significantly shorten travel time while bypassing the often-challenging open waters between South America and Antarctica. For many guests, this option offers a smoother and more time-efficient way to experience one of the world’s most remote destinations.
These expeditions are particularly appealing for travellers with limited time or those who prefer to avoid extended ocean crossings while still enjoying an authentic small-ship expedition experience in Antarctica. The newly released season provides the chance to plan ahead, secure limited expedition capacity and explore one of Earth’s most extraordinary environments.
Strong demand drives early bookings
Interest in Antarctic travel continues to surge, with the most recent season selling out quickly as travellers prioritise once-in-a-lifetime experiences in remote destinations.
As a result, Chimu Adventures is encouraging travellers to book early while availability and promotional pricing remain strong.
Booking ahead allows guests to secure their preferred itinerary, cabin category and departure date, which can be especially important for limited-capacity sailings and specialist expedition departures.
Early bird deals available now
To support early planners, several compelling offers are already available across the 2027/2028 season.
Notable promotions include up to 15% savings on Complete Antarctica fly-cruise expeditions aboard the Ocean Nova, as well as up to 20% off the In the Wake of Scott and Shackleton voyage, a remarkable journey that ventures deep into the sub-Antarctic Islands, Ross Sea and East Antarctica.
These early-bird incentives provide travellers with a valuable opportunity to secure sought-after departures while taking advantage of meaningful savings.
Polar expertise from a trusted specialist
As small-ship polar experts, the team at Chimu Adventures provides specialist guidance to help travellers navigate the many options available when planning an Antarctic expedition.
Beyond cruise bookings, the team at Chimu can also assist with flights, transfers and pre- or post-expedition travel throughout South America, ensuring a seamless journey from start to finish.
