Ambassador Cruise Line has launched the "first-ever" cruise line anti-whaling campaign as part of a partnership with marine conservation charity Orca.

Ambience took shelter in St John's last week

ORCA is an organisation which studies and protects whales, dolphins and porpoises in UK and European waters.

Christian Verhounig, chief executive of Ambassador Cruise Line, wrote to the Faroese prime minister, Barour a Steig Nielsen, stating that if there are recurring incidents of the dolphin hunt that took place in September 2021, he will reconsider the cruise line’s position and planned three future sailings to the Islands.
