Cruise · 7 nights · with Ambassador Cruise Line
A week aboard Ambassador's Ambition, tracing a northern route from Dundee through the Faroes and the northern isles to Liverpool, visiting the Shetland and Orkney archipelagos and the Outer Hebrides along the way.
Highlights
Call at Faroese port of Runavik
Visit Lerwick in the Shetland Isles
Stopover in Kirkwall, Orkney Isles
Calls at Stornoway and Isle of Lewis
Sail from Dundee to Liverpool
This seven-night cruise aboard Ambassador Cruise Line’s Ambition begins in Dundee, setting off northwest towards the Faroe Islands with a call at Runavik. The Faroes are known for their grass-roofed houses and steep cliffs, a reminder of birdwatchers and sheep farmers alike.
Journeys
The itinerary continues through the northern Scottish isles, calling at Lerwick in Shetland, where Viking history underpins the landscape, before crossing to Kirkwall in Orkney with its neolithic sites and robust seafaring culture. Later stops include Stornoway and the Isle of Lewis, the latter renowned for its standing stones at Callanish and a coastline where the Atlantic wind is never far away.
The cruise concludes with the ship’s arrival in Liverpool, after threading its way through an often overlooked part of Britain’s archipelago. Ambition is modestly sized, which makes it more nimble in these not-so-easily reached ports, providing the chance to see places less familiar to many holidaymakers.
