Cruise · 9 nights · with Ambassador Cruise Line
Nine nights aboard Ambassador’s Ambition sailing from Dundee around the Faroe Islands and Iceland, including stops in Runavík, Akureyri and Reykjavik, with chances to watch for whales and visit coastal towns framed by waterfalls and geysers.
Highlights
Whale watching opportunities in the North Atlantic
Runavík’s slate fjords and Faroese villages
Akureyri’s northern botanical gardens and Goðafoss waterfall
Isafjörður’s fjord setting and fishing harbours
Reykjavik’s colourful rooftops and nearby geysers
This nine-night cruise on Ambassador Cruise Line’s Ambition takes a northerly route from Dundee, threading through the Faroe Islands before reaching Iceland’s northern and western shores. The first port after crossing the North Atlantic is Runavík, a small Faroese harbour known for its slate fjords and quiet villages.
Journeys
Next stop is Akureyri, often called Iceland’s capital of the north, where you can find botanical gardens surprisingly lush for so far north, and the nearby Goðafoss waterfall, audible from the town. Isafjörður is further west, a fjord town surrounded by steep cliffs and small fishing harbours with a strong maritime character.
Reykjavik is the final call before heading home to Dundee. The Icelandic capital’s colourful rooftops and eclectic street art contrast with the bubbling geothermal areas just outside the city. Ambassador’s Ambition is a ship small enough to slip into these less-visited harbours, making it a straightforward way to see this remote part of the North Atlantic.
