Polar travel specialists, Chimu Adventures, has introduced a new suite of luxury Antarctica travel experiences for Australian travellers.
Chimu Adventures has partnered with leading high-end operators in the adventure, expedition and cruise fields, such as White Desert, Ponant and Quark Expeditions.
“We’ve always prided ourselves in having Australia’s most comprehensive range of Antarctica products, but there have been a few gaps in our range, mainly in the luxury space,” said Chad Carey, Co-Founder, Chimu Adventures.

“Our extended program now includes shorter trips and options for people to lodge on the Antarctic mainland, do adventure activities like mountain biking on Antarctica or even get off the coast of Antarctica, including to locations such as the South Pole station. Previously, there was no easy and fast way to see Emperor penguins. All of these incredible experiences are now possible with our new Luxury Antarctica Program,” Carey said.
Chimu Adventures’ new luxury inland experiences enable Australian travellers to immerse themselves in the icy world of Antarctica, all whilst indulging in the warmth and comfort of high-end luxury accommodation and premium tailor-made experiences.
Discerning travellers are now able to choose their ultimate Antarctic adventure from an array of luxurious or adventurous experiences. Options include visiting an emperor penguin colony, standing on the end of the earth at the South Pole, through to fine dining in a private camp and indulging in state-of-the-art polar accommodation. For travellers who have dreamed of spending the day immersed in a vast emperor penguin colony deep in the heart of Antarctica, followed by caviar and champagne in luxury accommodation at night, Chimu Adventures luxury inland experiences are the perfect fit.
Antarctica cruises have never been more luxurious. Chimu Adventures new range of luxury Antarctic cruises make the most of modern cruise ship design to bring a suite of 5-star luxury expedition cruises. Many of these modern ships have been designed from the ground up for polar expedition cruising. Ships such as Quark Expeditions’ Ultramarine have helicopters onboard to access otherwise unreachable areas of Antarctica.
Other vessels include Mystic Cruises’ World Explorer (via a charter with Quark Expeditions) and perhaps the most luxurious expedition vessel currently in-market, Ponant’s LNG-powered Le Commandant Charcot.
Chimu Adventures new luxury Antarctica range builds on the company’s long-standing commitment to protecting the destinations in which they travel. The new itineraries reduce each traveller’s carbon footprint by utilising the latest technologies such as sustainable aviation fuel and hybrid-electric polar vessels. Many departures are 100% carbon offset, and all feature extensive sustainability protocols such as enhanced water treatment and waste management systems to reduce the impact on the Antarctic environment.
Chimu Adventures says it is the only operator offering a full range of Antarctic experiences from scenic day flights and traditional Peninsula cruises departing from South America to longer East Antarctica and Sub-Antarctic Islands expeditions departing from Australia, luxury Antarctic cruises, and now exclusive luxury interior experiences for the most discerning traveller.
