Great deal to visit Antarctica if you can do a spontaneous trip. Unfortunately the dates don't work for me as i'm off to Iceland in March.
An e-mail message was sent out Thursday from Quark Expeditions with the following announcement of reduced rates for travel to Antarctica:
Departure Date: February 29, 2020 from Ushuaia, Argentina
Disembarkation Date: March 15, 2020 at Ushuai, Argentina
Duration: 16 Days 15 Nights.
I assume this will be similar to this 20day itinerary : Falklands, South Georgia and Antarctica: Explorers and Kings voyage — with prices starting at +$20,000AUD..
Reduced rates only for this specific charter voyage.
To get this deal, you will need to contact Quark Expeditions directly via online chat or over the phone.

You’re probably aware that worldwide efforts to control the spread of the coronavirus have led to travel restrictions for travelers from China, Hong Kong and Macau. Unfortunately, this means one of our Antarctic voyages chartered specifically for a group of Chinese travelers, most of whom cannot travel at the moment, now has unoccupied cabins.
On behalf of our Chinese charter partner and guests, these now-empty cabins are being offered at a significantly reduced rate to travelers like you who have expressed interest in the polar regions and wish to explore the beautiful Antarctic on Ocean Diamond.
