Media release: Arctic Experiences to take Travellers off the beaten track in 2017
Sydney, 19 April 2017 – Travellers will have more reasons than ever to go on a polar adventure this year with Polar Specialist Chimu Adventures expanding their travel options to include a variety of off the beaten track Arctic itineraries.
Whether it’s crossing the magnificent scenery surrounding Greenland, spotting polar bears in the Arctic’s ‘capital of wildlife’ Spitsbergen, or following the footsteps of the early Arctic explorers on a voyage across the iconic Northwest Passage, Chimu’s Arctic experiences will appeal to discerning travellers who have their heart set on seeing and experiencing one of the most seldom visited destinations on earth.
Apart from taking in some of the planet’s most inspiring sceneries, the journeys also offer wildlife excursions as well as cultural visits and on-board lectures about the Arctic’s local history and culture.
Itineraries encompass a vast range of experiences in destinations including the North Pole, Greenland, Spitsbergen, the Canadian Arctic and the Russian Arctic.
Highlights include:
- The 8-day Realm of the Polar Bear is the ultimate introduction to the Arctic taking in the Spitsbergen area in-depth that is commonly referred to as the Arctic’s ‘capital of wildlife’. On this best value trip, travellers have a high chance of seeing the elusive polar bear and other prominent wildlife species while cruising the region’s scenic glaciers, fjords and ice fields.
- On the 15-day Arctic Highlights, travellers can tick off not just one but several bucket list items. Taking in the best of Spitsbergen, Greenland and Iceland, this trip provides guests with a great chance of seeing polar bears and the Northern Lights.
- The 13-day Top of the World is the ultimate way to see the North Pole. Guests will cruise aboard a state-of-the-art icebreaker, crush through multiyear ice on the Arctic Ocean, take in the rarely visited Russian Arctic archipelago before being presented with the once in a lifetime opportunity of standing at the top of the world.
- The 17-day Northwest Passage: Epic High Arctic is an in-depth exploration of the High Arctic with the North West Passage and its history being a major focus of this voyage. Following the footsteps of Sir John Franklin, this cruise explores the stunning fjords and icebergs of the Canadian Arctic, and travellers will visit traditional Inuit communities and learn about the Arctic’s history and culture.
“We have seen huge organic growth in demand for our Antarctica cruises over the last 18 months with an increasing number of travellers returning from their trips hungry for their next polar adventure. With most of our Antarctica vessels already operating in the Arctic, it was the next logical step for us to expand into this new destination” said Chad Carey, co-founder of Chimu Adventures.
“Even the most seasoned traveller will be blown away by the inspiring features that make up the Arctic – its mind-blowingly distinctive wildlife, picturesque sceneries, fascinating history and culture. For us, we really want to provide our travellers with an immersive experience that goes beyond the ‘ordinary’ expedition cruise and our travel options perfectly reflect this mission.”
