Cruising With A Conscience

Chimu's exclusive Antarctic expedition SONGS IN THE SOUTH has just launched. Joining us onboard is one of Australia's most beloved singer-songwriters, PAUL KELLY, who will be performing during the voyage!

Joining Kelly will be esteemed special guests Ben Quilty, Andrew Denton, and Jennifer Byrne who will inspire, educate, and entertain as travellers discover the beauty and wonder of Antarctica together.

Songs in the South is a 21-day voyage departing January 8, 2024 onboard the Ocean Endeavour. This immersive journey will depart from Ushuaia before discovering the magnificent South Shetland Islands and the Antarctic peninsula itself. You'll then explore South Georgia and the Falkland Islands on a voyage unlike any other.

Paul Kelly is one of Australia’s most beloved singer-songwriters who needs no introduction. Kelly's songs dig deep into Australia: how it feels, looks, tastes, sounds. In the 40 years since releasing his first album, the human condition has been his special subject and he’s thrilled to be joining Chimu on this journey, which will include an exclusive performance onboard the Ocean Endeavour, available only to Chimu travellers.

Ben Quilty is an acclaimed Australian artist, renowned both here and internationally. His bold and evocative work is designed to challenge assumptions and has been featured in major public, corporate and private collections. Quilty will also be running a two-part art workshop onboard.

Andrew Denton and Jennifer Byrne are considered one of the most creative Australian television and radio forces and have a true passion for Antarctica. This will be their 4th trip to Antarctica with Chimu and Andrew and Jennifer will light up the Antarctic entertainment with interviews and Antarctica reveals.

Happy Heart's Day! Hope you get to do something magical with your special someone like exploring new things together! 🌹 🌟

“I spent an hour in the bank with my dad, as he had to transfer some money. I couldn't resist myself and asked...

''Dad, why don't we activate your internet banking?''

''Why would I do that?'' He asked...

''Well, then you wont have to spend an hour here for things like transfer.

You can even do your shopping online. Everything will be so easy!''

I was so excited about initiating him into the world of Net banking.

He asked ''If I do that, I wont have to step out of the house?

''Yes, yes''! I said. I told him how even grocery can be delivered at door now and how amazon delivers everything!

His answer left me tongue-tied.

He said ''Since I entered this bank today, I have met four of my friends, I have chatted a while with the staff who know me very well by now.

You know I am alone...this is the company that I need. I like to get ready and come to the bank. I have enough time, it is the physical touch that I crave.

Two years back I got sick, The store owner from whom I buy fruits, came to see me and sat by my bedside and cried.

When your Mom fell down few days back while on her morning walk. Our local grocer saw her and immediately got his car to rush her home as he knows where I live.

Would I have that 'human' touch if everything became online?

Why would I want everything delivered to me and force me to interact with just my computer?

I like to know the person that I'm dealing with and not just the 'seller'. It creates bonds of Relationships.

Does Amazon deliver all this as well?'''

Technology isn't life..
Spend time with people .. Not with devices."

Please help us flood global social media with the need to save our industry. There is still approx $4 billion, yes that's billion, to either refund or put into credit for Australian travellers alone.
Please share share share, or our industry will be 95%+ extinct from end of March 2021. Who else can get people home without numerous cancellations and financial angst?

I'm a little slow this week, but not only was it Mental Health Day this week, it was Mental Health Week too.
I hope you are all doing ok out there!

I played with some of my MTA colleagues this morning at Dolphin Sanctuary Kayak Tours, at Garden Island, Port Adelaide.
Dolphin spotting, mangrove exploring, and checking out the shipwrecks.
Truly a wonderful experience.
Let me know if you'd like to go.
Zac our guide was just brilliant, and he did his masters on Dolphins, so learnt so much.

Who loves a good pictogram puzzle??
