TL;DR
British cruise ship operator, Ambassador Cruise Line, has apologized after its passengers witnessed a mass hunt of dolphins in the Faroe Islands.

Animal activists and conservationists have long criticized the practice as unsustainable and cruel, calling for a boycott of the Faroe Islands. The cruise company's apology comes amid growing pressure for cruise companies to remove the Faroe Islands from their itineraries to take a stand against the controversial whaling tradition.
