Intrepid Group and Chimu Adventures have announced they are introducing small-group polar expeditions operated under a joint venture partner, Peregrine Adventures.
Starting in October, 2020, the company will operate the newly refurbished 199-pax capacity ‘Ocean Endeavour’.
“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 CEO, James Thornton.
With an industry-leading ratio of one expedition leader to eight guests, a diverse range of on- and off-board activities, and rigorous sustainability standards, Greg Carter, co-founder of Chimu Adventures, said passengers can feel assured the most important details are taken care of.
All departures will be carbon offset and eco-friendly measures will include no single-use plastic, a reusable water bottle for every guest and only sustainable seafood will be served on board.
“We are seeing an increasing appetite from travellers of all ages to visit Antarctica. They want to get closer to nature and understand the world we live in,” added Carter.
