LATIN America and Polar specialists Chimu Adventures celebrated its 15th anniversary in Sydney last night, bringing together an exclusive group to party, and announcing one upcoming celebrity passenger.
Co-founders Chad Carey and Greg Carter confirmed exclusively to Cruise Weekly Australian musician Paul Kelly would be the group’s next special guest aboard its charity cruise in 2021.
Sailing to the Falkland Islands and South Georgia on 11 Mar 2021, the Songs of the South journey will bring the rock legend and 450 guests on a 21-day voyage, with a lead-in price of $17,995ppts.
Carter noted the importance of finding a celebrity participant who fitted with the company’s sustainability ethos.
“[Kelly’s] a big advocate for climate change, Carter told CW.
“We’ve worked with a lot of great celebrities over the years: Andrew Denton, Samuel Johnson, Peter FitzSimons; we’re looking for the next person who gels with our culture.”
Carey also reflected on how the industry and the space in which Chimu operates had changed over the years.
“It’s always been about how we can differentiate ourselves; now we’ve got hotels, we’ve got Endeavour, our own DMCs managing our packs on the ground, it’s completely different.”
