Ted - first off, have a great trip - hope your time on the Navigator is at least as good as ours!

There are 4 types of malaria - the 2 major ones are Plasmodium falciparum and Plasmodium vivax. Malarone is usually used to treat resistant P. falciparum and Lariam is usually used to treat resistant P. vivax.

Malarone Internet pricing is around $38.18 for 7 pills. Lariam Internet pricing is around $89.00 for 10 pills. So I may be wrong in this case about newer medications being more expensive than older medications. :)

Pam - this is definitely a situation where I advise people to discuss with their doctor about what to take while on ROAR.
