Cruises visiting Falkland Islands

The Falklands open most long Southern Ocean itineraries: windswept, green and full of life. West Point and Saunders Island host black-browed albatross colonies nesting shoulder-to-shoulder with rockhopper penguins.

Stanley adds a dose of civilisation — pubs, a cathedral with a whalebone arch — before the ship pushes south into wilder waters. Five penguin species breed here.
