Cruise Ship Visitors
If cruising is your style, choose to include the Falkland Islands as part of your trip. Cruise ships visiting the Falklands vary greatly in size, and range from well-equipped yachts to expedition ships and luxury cruise vessels. Passenger numbers onboard can be as few as 10 or as grand as 3,000.
Whatever the size, visitors arriving in the Falklands by sea will be pleased to find a number of shore excursions and tours that fit in with most ship schedules. Visit our Excursions page to see the latest tour offerings. To guarantee a place, book through your cruise director/shore excursion manager - some shore excursions are only available if booked onboard; however local guides are usually on hand at the Jetty Visitor Centre if you prefer to organise your own tour once on shore.
Most vessels visit our seaside capital Stanley, but some operators also include outlying islands to provide a true taste of the Falklands. See the Cruise Ship Operators for more details about South American / Antarctic cruise itineraries that include the Falklands.
