‘Clean’ expedition ships carrying fewer than 530 passengers will be allowed to visit the Falkland Islands this Southern summer under a new visitor policy approved by the Falkland Islands Government this week.
Qualifying vessels will have had to have been at sea for at least fourteen days and have no symptomatic crew or passengers before they can call into the Falklands, and will need to agree to a set of ‘rigorous public health conditions,’ according to a Falkland Islands Government statement.
In addition, the revised policy will allow for friends of residents to visit the islands if sponsored by a resident who is present in the Islands.
