Chimu Adventures
Chimu's polar voyages cross the Drake Passage and Lemaire Channel where evacuation by helicopter or ship can take days. Pre-existing condition waivers typically require insurance purchase within 14-21 days of initial deposit—late purchases void waivers. Some ship operators demand unlimited evacuation cover; verify against the specific voyage operator's terms.
Insurance requirements
Required
“If you’re not requested to have suitable insurance at the time of booking, it’s highly advisable to contact your travel agent immediately and ensure that everything is in order. Trip delays and unforeseen disruptions are not uncommon in Antarctica – mainly due to weather and sea conditions – so a solid insurance policy which covers bad weather is an absolute must. — Chimu Adventures Travel Insurance Information
