Visit Port Stanley on a Cruise Vacation from Destination Oceans!

When you visit Port Stanley you will step into a beautiful world that is unlike anywhere else on the planet. The rich ecology of the Falkland Islands blends seamlessly with the quaint town life of Port Stanley. Although you will be on a cruise in South America, the British influence in Port Stanley is impossible to overlook. Brick and stone homes and buildings characterize the town, and it is plenty small enough to get about and see the sights by foot. Most likely you will want to see the amazing penguin colonies that live outside of the town. You can take a tour or a taxi out to see and photograph these truly interesting animals.

You will be able to see colonies of penguins in Gypsy Cove, Kidney Cove, and at Volunteer Point outside of Port Stanley. Colonies of king, gentoo, and magellanic penguins flourish in these areas and will provide plenty to see and observe, not to mention photograph! While you are in the town of Port Stanley, you should make a visit to the Falkland Island Museum. It has exhibits on the diverse flora and fauna of the region, as well as comprehensive information on the 1982 conflict. You should also pay a visit to the Christchurch Cathedral. This is the southernmost cathedral in the world. Outside of the cathedral is a large arch that is made out of the gigantic jawbones of two blue whales. It is certainly a sight you will not want to miss.
