Unfortunately, there are no bargains in the Antarctic. Just looked at the '06 fares for Lindblad's Antarctic-S. Georgia-Falklands itineraries (the trip we took last year)- 30K to 53k for two. Great expedition experience, but short on creature comforts - 6 star it is not! We happened to see the Orion last year - understand it is a step or 2 up from Lindblad, but wouldn't compare to Residensea.
