Where is the Stanley cruise port?
Most ships anchor in Port William or Stanley Harbour and tender passengers to the pontoon beside the Public Jetty on Ross Road, in the centre of Stanley; the Jetty Visitor Centre is at the landing. Small expedition ships can instead berth alongside at FIPASS, which is closed to vessels over 10,000 tonnes.
Christ Church Cathedral and the Historic Dockyard Museum are under 10 minutes' walk from the jetty, and Gypsy Cove about 15 minutes by road. The harbour closes to cruise ships and tenders in sustained winds of 30 knots or more, and tendering stops in fog.

About Stanley
Stanley is the capital of the Falkland Islands, a small harbour settlement, recently given city status, that stretches along and above the shoreline of Stanley Harbour. Its main sights sit close together and are easily explored on foot: Christ Church Cathedral and the Whalebone Arch, Victory Green, the whalebone display, commemorative monuments and the Historic Dockyard Museum, which covers the islands' social and maritime history, flora, fauna and geology. Stanley has many cafes, bars, restaurants and pubs, and shops sell knitted and felted goods made from Falkland wool.
Outside town, the Cape Pembroke peninsula has white-sand beaches at Yorke Bay and Surf Bay, gentoo penguins, and Gypsy Cove, where Magellanic penguins return in summer. English is the official language.
