Tierra del Fuego, anyone? Jump on board for last-minute savings

Princess Cruises has a boom-boom special on three 12-day cruises aboard the Star Princess around South America's Cape Horn next month, with prices starting at just $799 per person for inside cabins and $1,299 for balcony cabins.

The cruises sail between Buenos Aires, Argentina, and Santiago, Chile, with stops in Montevideo, Uruguay; the Falkland Islands; and Ushuaia, Tierra del Fuego. There's also scenic cruising through the Beagle Channel, the Chilean fjords, and around Cape Horn.

Departure dates are March 6, 18, and 30, 2008 -- so if you're free next month and feel like doing the tango or checking out the penguins in the Falklands, jump on these deals quickly.

Prices are based on double occupancy and include fuel supplements but don't include $77 in taxes and fees.
