    Antarctica and South America cruise 18/12/25-09/01/26

    Hi, Don’t know if this is any help but, if stopping in Stanley, Falkland Islands there will be taxis waiting at the dock. If you’ve got the time get them to drop you at Cape Pembroke lighthouse, you can then bird back into Stanley, or if short on time get the cab back. That’ll get you a lot of...
