Sold out

Luxury Antarctica cruise ships in prime season are usually fully booked well before their departure dates.

---

Quick sell-out fares

Generally, the lowest- and highest-priced cabins sell out first, up to a year in advance.

---

Last-minute bargains

If you are seeking one, chances are it won't be easy to find a ship that meets your preferred itinerary, ship, cabin and departure-date. Even if you do, you might not be able to secure convenient and low-cost airline reservations to and from the departure port city. They probably have been snatched up months ago. Moral: Book your Antarctica cruise early.

Booking advice

Due to the potential complexity of booking an Antarctica cruise and its attendant airfare and land arrangements, booking through a cruise line makes sense.

So does booking with a cruise-specialist travel agent. These professionals make their rent-paying money on commissions from the cruise lines, not from fees from their clients. Most charge you nothing or almost nothing (say $50) for their expertise. And that fee is mainly to establish that you are earnest before they invest a lot of their time researching and making arrangements for you.
