At Viva Expeditions, we keep our eyes firmly peeled on the ‘special deal fronts’, which include:
- early-bird sales
- last-minute deals
- special charters
- introductory deals on new vessels
As we work closely with a range of different Antarctica cruise operators and ships, we also regularly have access to exclusive deals and discounts that we can offer to our clients.
Our Specials page is constantly updated with new deals as they’re offered, from classic routes to extended cruise itineraries including South Georgia and the Falklands, Antarctic Circle cruises and plenty of Fly+Sail options, whereby you fly to King George Island, bypassing a crossing of the Drake Passage, and join a shorter cruise from there.
When it comes to mitigating costs, note that booking months in advance (both flights and cruises) can actually save you a neat bundle, often more than if you were to simply wait for a deal on the cruise alone. Moreover, know that being on one of the first or last voyages of the Antarctic cruise season can also slash the cost considerably, as the great majority of visitors head down over the Christmas break, making December and January the busiest and most expensive months of all. Early and late Antarctic cruises also offer unique advantages that go beyond savings – the former offering pristine landing sites with not a footstep to be seen and, the latter, sensational whale-watching galore.
