FJORDS CALLING!

AUTHENTIC CRUISING WITH THE WARMEST OF WELCOMES

-

AFTER more than 18 months when travel has been tough, why not plan to break free in 2022 and discover the Norwegian Fjords with their stunning waters, clear air and inspiring vistas?

Fjordland offers some of the most dramatic landscapes on Earth, with a uniquely widescreen quality. On board your welcoming cruise ship, you can relax as towering peaks give way to breathtaki­ng waterfalls, bright blue fjords and impossibly lush green valleys dotted with quaint villages and remote mountain farms. This is truly life in HD.

Next year, new Ambassador Cruise Line is planning six Fjordland sailings from London Tilbury, perfect to capture each season. And the prices may surprise you, starting at just £509pp — less than £85pp per night.

The Autumn Fjordland sailing (October 16, 2022), for example, will inspire stunning photograph­s, as you discover spectacula­r Eidfjord, cruise along beautiful Hardangerf­jord — and visit waterfront city Bergen, with its medieval Bryggen wharf, art museums and bustling fish market.

While cruising the renowned Sognefjord and Aurlandsfj­ord, a stop at Flam could see you take a scenic train high into the mountains, one of the world’s best rail journeys. And colourful Haugesund was once the royal seat of the Viking kings, set amid stunning fjords and waterfalls.

Plus, broadcasti­ng household names Floella Benjamin, John Sergeant and Jan Leeming will be on board this cruise, promising interviews, fascinatin­g lectures and plenty of laughter!

SPACE TO RELAX

THERE are fabulous Fjords options through spring, summer and autumn on board Ambassador’s flagship, Ambience, which begins her maiden voyage on April 6, 2022.

And while this adult-focused, age-inclusive, premium-value line is primarily aimed at people over-50, there’s a multigener­ational Fjords cruise in the summer holidays as well, so the whole family can join in the fun.

The new traditiona­l cruise line, designed for the British market, glides off with a short break cruise to Hamburg before a mixed itinerary programme through the spring.

In the first year there will be 33 sailings visiting more than 90 different ports, including the Baltic and St Petersburg, Greenland, the Arctic and Iceland. And in the winter months Ambience will sail on a range of exploratio­nstyle voyages to the Canaries, Cuba, the Caribbean, Cape Verde and Scandinavi­a, revealing amazing sights and hidden treasures.

PEACE OF MIND

EXPECT a warm welcome from the minute you arrive to the moment you leave classic Ambience, which has a contempora­ry, sustainabl­e twist, with 798 cabins.

You’ll also find an inclusive atmosphere, with a charming crew, sumptuous cuisine, great entertainm­ent and space to relax.

And solo travellers are particular­ly well catered for, with a special programme including a cocktail party (for cruises of more than six nights). It’s a chance to meet like-minded guests and form friendship­s of a lifetime within the welcoming and relatable Ambassador community.

Reassuring­ly, all payments are covered by the insurance the line has in place — and deposited in a trust account to be released only when your cruise departs.

Your money is also covered by a booking guarantee, meaning you benefit from a very high level of financial protection. Add to this Ambassador’s stringent onboard health, hygiene and safety standards — and you can sail with peace of mind guaranteed.

So how about that wonderful Fjords trip in 2022? Amid a landscape of astounding beauty, with its lofty peaks, cascading waterfalls and idyllic orchards, you’ll find yourself falling in love with cruising all over again. To find out more, visit ambassador­cruiseline.com or call 0808 102 8388.
