embarkation on board the Ocean Endeavour in the late afternoon. The
Expedition Team and the Ship’s Officers will be waiting to

spa, saunas, saltwater pool and gym and relaxing yoga classes.
Learn
to identify the seabirds that follow in the wake of the ship or glide
alongside the vessel including albatrosses, storm petrels, shearwaters,
and diving petrels. Look out for whales and dolphins as you enjoy the
silence of the sea. Attend daily presentations by the Expedition Team
and learn the safety procedures for shore landings and Zodiac cruises
as we near the Islas Malvinas.
Day

Have
your camera at the ready as we approach the ruggedly beautiful
Falklands archipelago to capture not only the abundant wildlife but
also the incredible scenery.
Over
the next couple of days we explore East and West Island by Zodiac and
on foot as we make daily shore landings and maybe even discover smaller
inlets by kayak.
Learn
about the intriguing and controversial history of the Falkland Islands
as we explore the quaint capital of Port Stanley, with its British
outpost feel. Near the town you may see Southern giant petrels, the
endemic Falkland steamer ducks, kelp gulls and dolphin gulls. There are
also black-crowned night herons, red-backed hawks, peregrine falcons
and turkey vultures.
As
we explore the islands, have your camera at the ready as we look out
for the 5 species of penguins found here, large populations of
black-browed albatrosses, elephant and fur seals, Peale’s and
Commerson’s dolphins, orcas and a myriad of bird species
including the Falkland’s flightless steamer duck, imperial
shags and Cobb’s wrens.
