I mean it's partly the passengers desires that lead them there, cruise lines don't just pick arbitrary ports, they go where people want.

They shouldn't have apologized at all, they should have just been like "and this is what Faroe is like at this time of year, you're welcome that we were able to show you this unique experience"

Cruiselines should f off anyway, because we're at the start of an ever growing climate crisis and cruise ships are the worst carbon emitters of all passenger transports. Those meat eating hypocrites aboard need a lesson in how we treat animals and the planet these days.
