I am wondering if the cost of Rick Steves tours in 2022 will be the same cost as posted in the 2021 tour catalog, and when will the 2022 catalog be available to download from the RS website?

Actually Rick said this past Monday night on his weekly Monday Night Travel the 2022 tours will be posted in the last 2 weeks in May. Keep checking the website. In past years he posts tours early so keep looking.
I wouldn’t be surprised to see some tours next Monday! I’m so excited at the thought of traveling again.

Jan & Stan, just guessing, but there is no information available in prices as I imagine they have to work out a lot of details. One can't assume that all tourism infrastructure survives intact. There may not be a 2022 catalog since they would have to have all the information ready a long time ahead of publishing them. Nothing is business as usual. From his statements nfo and tour availability in general will likely just trickle out over a period of time.

Sorry, I have no information about the tours, but in the U.K., there is significant inflation in accommodation prices, fuel and some foodstuffs, so unless profit margins will be squeezed, prices will rise.

And as far as the UK is concerned, the exchange rate has moved to make the pound more expensive.
So seeing some increase would not be surprising and would be reflective of the economic reality

I'm wondering if his decision to drop capacity from 28 too 24 will mean a cost increase.
