Don't think he was stringing us. Prices vary,of course and if you live down south or know someone who does and gets a local paper I think that there are sometimes hefty discounts but I think we're paying about £80 each and if you pay for food vouchers in advance you can save 10% making them about £70. These cover 3 breakfasts and 3 evening meals, give or take. Drinks are extra and if youwant to eat in the Langham's Brasserrie you willhave to make up the difference yourself.Don't know if there's a single cabin supplement.We set ourselves a £450 budget for two, not including petrol and car parking and after paying for our tickets and vouchers we've got £149 left to spend in the bar and to splash out in Langham's one night. We saw over 100 whales on the last trip and got a "lifer" in Great Shearwater so we reckon it's pretty good. If you're interested there's a shortish trip report accessible via my signature - no photos I'm afraid but Julie's taking the long lens this time.</blockquote>
