A small dot amidst the South Atlantic Ocean, the Falkland Islands are at once very well known and
quietly anonymous. The growth of Antarctic tourism has put the islands firmly on the map. Wild
vistas and sweeping coastlines, together with a colourful maritime past and strong farming legacy
characterise a surprisingly striking archipelago, where wildlife abounds.
Falkland Islands Holidays
Cruise
Our voyage holidays in the Falklands are part of our Antarctic voyage programme. For many people
Antarctica is the pinnacle of travel and our comprehensive collection of small ship Antarctic
holidays allow discerning visitors the opportunity to experience the extraordinary scenery and
wildlife of the world’s last true wilderness area.
The foremost appeal to visitors of the Falkland Islands is the abundant wildlife, where the sheer
numbers of penguins, seals and pelagic birds is quite staggering. Colonies of rock hopper,
macaroni, magellanic and gentoo penguins can all be encountered along with impressive king penguins
at Volunteer Point. Elephant seals and sea lions breed on appropriately named Sea Lion Island,
while around 10,000 breeding pairs of black-browed albatross nest on Saunders Island.
