FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Yes, both the Arctic and Antarctica are easy to visit via an expedition cruise. Popular places to visit on an Arctic cruise include Greenland, Norway, Iceland, and the Canadian High Arctic. In Antarctica, cruises often visit the Antarctic Peninsula, South Georgia, the Falkland Islands, and the sub-Antarctic Islands.
Antarctica is a dream for wildlife enthusiasts. Some of the most common wildlife spotted on the Antarctic Peninsula include penguins (chinstrap, Adelie, and gentoo), seals (fur, leopard, Weddell, crabeater, and elephant), and whales. Antarctic whale species may include minke, humpback, fin, blue, and even orca. There are also many bird species to spot, including albatrosses and petrels.
Arctic cruise season runs within the Northern Hemisphere summer, from May to September. The warmer weather means more accessibility through the ice and long days, perfect for exploring.
Yes, many Polar enthusiasts visit both Antarctica and the Arctic, as each Pole offers a completely unique experience. Antarctica is best known for its spectacular wildlife, landscapes, and research bases, while the Arctic is home to Inuit communities, national parks, and icy tundra.
Yes, Chimu's small ship expedition cruises to Antarctica are designed to help you maximise your time off the ship and onto the ice. Weather permitting, our expedition cruises offer two excursions per day, with plenty of time on land to hike, observe wildlife, and take photos.
The Antarctic cruise season operates from late October through March, taking advantage of the Southern Hemisphere summer season. Each month of the season is slightly unique, but no matter when you go, you'll get to see huge colonies of penguins, sculptural iceberg formations, and icy mountainous landscapes.
