There is no better way to see the best of the British coastline than from a ship – and a smaller cruise ship can reach little islands and picturesque ports inaccessible to larger vessels. A round Britain cruise involves no flying, so is not subject to problems from volcanic ash, strikes, or other annoying delays.
Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines has confirmed that both of its cruises sailing later this summer visiting ports of call in Iceland, are continuing to sell well. With the effects of the volcanic ash cloud having disrupted air travel in and out of the UK and across Europe in recent weeks, travel to the area by cruise ship is regarded as the best way to visit that part of the Arctic.
