13 Night Ocean Cruise

Witness an incredible solar event on this voyage of discovery to the land of ice and fire. This epic adventure explores Iceland where you can marvel at natural wonders such as hot springs, active volcanoes, and spouting geysers. The island capital, Reykjavik, has a charming old town and is home to the eye-catching Hallgrimskirkja Church. Grundarfjordur is a lovely fishing town, resting in the shadow of majestic Mount Kirkjufell while Seydisfjordur is one of Iceland’s most picturesque villages and embodies traditional Icelandic style. Stepping stones along the way take in the Faroe Islands village of Runavik, which nestles on a picturesque fjord, and is connected to the capital, Torshavn, via an undersea tunnel. A stop at Lerwick, county town of the Shetland Isles, adds a Scottish flavour to an exciting itinerary. Of course, the holiday focal point is when Ambition calls at Greenland in time for the extraordinary solar eclipse, an unforgettable celestial experience.
