Advertisement Travel often means us all rushing to the same hot spots at the same time, causing prices to spin and not doing much to help the environment.
Booking off season is the solution. This is why UK-based company Responsible Travel (responsibletravel.com) has started offering some trips only outside peak months.
Special events can push up prices, too, and some destinations, such as Japan, are expensive all year round. So shop around, be patient, study the calendar, keep an eye on the weather charts, and follow our indispensable guide . . .
Wild Antarctica
Antarctica is an extreme climate, but its icebergs, wildlife and empty landscapes make it a spectacle
Antarctica is an extreme climate, but its icebergs, wildlife and empty landscapes make it a spectacle. Peak season, before it gets too cold, is December to early February, with the chance to see hatching penguins. Go in March and you might miss the penguins, but it’s the best time for whale watching.
The Trip: Classic Antarctica, an 11-day, all-inclusive cruise with Explore (explore.co.uk) visiting Ushuaia in Argentina, the Drake Passage, the South Shetland Islands and the Antarctic Peninsula.
Peak: November to January. £5,499pp (£6,730pp in January with Alitalia flights, alitalia.com).
Off peak: March. £3,999pp (£4,814pp in March with Lufthansa flights, lufthansa.com).
Saving: £1,916pp, 29 per cent.
