About the trip
This 13-night cruise with Ambassador Cruise Line’s Ambience begins and ends at London Tilbury, calling first on the Faroe Islands’ Runavik and Klaksvik. These small ports offer a close-up look at North Atlantic island communities, often softened by the steady presence of seabirds.
The route then crosses to Iceland with visits to Akureyri and Isafjordur. Akureyri, known as the capital of North Iceland, sits beside fjords where waterfalls thunder nearby — a few can be heard from the ship’s deck if you know where to listen. Isafjordur, more remote and less visited, provides a glimpse of the rugged west coast before the journey continues to Reykjavik. Ending with a call at Invergordon in Scotland, the cruise offers a quiet and considered pace, trading the usual tourist routes for quieter harbours and northern frontiers.
