Polar Travel Specialists, Chimu Adventures is extending discounts of up to 50% on selected voyages for passengers originally booked and deposited on One Ocean Expedition departures.

As we reported last week, One Ocean Expeditions has revealed it is entering administration after troubled 2019 that ended in several months of cancelled cruises.

Chimu has limited availability on two cruises in February and March 2020, with compassionate fares available on both.

One of these departures is a 21-day journey on board The Ocean Atlantic In Shackleton’s Wake, departing Ushuaia 1 March 2020.

It will take in the Falkland Islands, South Georgia and the Antarctic peninsula at a time when wildlife is at its most abundant.

The spacious Ocean Atlantic is equipped to carry 200 passengers in comfort.

The other departure is an 11-day trip on board Discover Antarctica, departing Ushuaia on 21 February 2020.

Joining the cruise is three times Paralympic gold medallist Kurt Fearnley.

The ship will travel from Ushuaia, across the legendary Drake Passage to discover the wonders of the Antarctic Peninsula, the northernmost region of Antarctica.

Part of the proceeds from this journey will be donated to the Kurt Fearnley Centre in Nairobi, providing education programs for people with disabilities in marginalised areas.

These cruises are guaranteed departures.

As Antarctic specialists Chimu also has access to a plethora of cruise itineraries across several ships, including their own operations on the Ocean Endeavour, departing throughout 2020 – 2022.

Working across so many vessels they have visibility on the best departures, availability and prices making the decision process a lot easier for travellers and agents alike.
