After so many cancelled holidays we’ve set our sights on the idea of an Antarctica cruise in 2022, but should we wait and book nearer the time?

A number of ships are running the current Antarctic season, so provided there are no further changes, you can travel right now! Be aware there are extra formalities such as vaccination requirements, PCR tests and entry forms for Argentina and Chile. But you will be well rewarded for any hassle as there are some incredible prices that I don’t think will ever be repeated. If the current travel climate is too much for you, the next season runs from November 2022 to March 2023. In fact, due to pent-up demand there are already availability issues at key times. Most operators still offer a fiexible booking policy, so I recommend securing your dream 2022/23 Antarctic cruise as soon as possible.
