In this agreement Chimu will promote and wholesale Hurtigruten's already popular fleet of vessels carrying more travellers on low carbon footprint options to the extremities of the earth.  

“We're excited to be working with the famed vessels such as MS Fram, MS Midnatstol and MS Spitsbergen, all of which already operate under sustainable fuel options. We're equally excited about the future with Hurtigruten as new ships to their fleet hit the high seas, for example the MS Amundsen which will operate under hybrid fuel options leading the way in sustainable travel to these fragile locations.' Said Greg Carter, Co-Founder of Chimu Adventures.  

On top of standard itineraries to the Arctic and Antarctic, Hurtigruten also operate unique journeys, including travel to either the Norwegian Fjords before exploring the High Arctic or the Chilean Fjords before navigating the famed Drake Passage and cruising around the Antarctica peninsula.

Chimu is currently offering a Free 3 day two night stay in Buenos Aires for anyone booking select departures on this trip.
