Take to the HIGH SEAS once again
As Britain’s newest cruise line sets sail on its maiden voyage this spring, join Ambassador Cruise Line for a welcome return to cruising
JUST as the world begins to think of holidays once again, a brand-new cruise line is inviting travellers to fall back in love with cruising.
Ambassador Cruise Line is the new cruise company aimed squarely at the UK market – the first in more than a decade – and is promising a return to authentic cruising with a warm welcome on board and the chance to meet like-minded travellers.
The flagship Ambience sets sail on her maiden voyage to Hamburg this spring, followed by sailings to the Norwegian fjords, the Baltic and St Petersburg.
No flights are needed because Ambassador will depart from London Tilbury, while the focus of voyages will be exploring unmissable destinations at great value.
Not only does Ambassador promise some of the most environmentally friendly ships at sea, its dedication to creating the perfect atmosphere on board, as well as providing exquisite cuisine and excellent entertainment, marks a return to the golden days of cruising.
A NORDIC ADVENTURE
If you’re looking to get away this spring, Ambassador has a selection of sailings taking in the breathtaking beauty of the Norwegian fjords.
With vast unspoilt vistas, crisp clean air and mirror-like waters, it’s the perfect destination for your first travel adventure in a while.
On April 10, the six-night A Taste of Fjordland cruise departs from London Tilbury. It will take in the former royal seat of Viking kings in Haugesund, before plunging into some of the world’s most striking fjords and visiting the picturesque village of Flåm.
There is a final stop in Norway’s colourful second city of Bergen, once an important medieval port and member of the Hanseatic League.
Here you can take in historic Bryggen wharf and visit the busy fish market.
Enjoy an Easter break with a difference, and set sail on the Majestic Easter Fjordland itinerary, an eight-night sailing departing on April 16. As well as pretty Flåm and Bergen, this cruise will sail along the UNESCO-listed Geirangerfjord with its lush, steep hillsides, foaming waterfalls, snowcapped peaks and deep blue waters. You will also enjoy a stop at Olden, at the furthest point of Nordfjord, where you can explore blue-hued glaciers at Jostedalsbreen National Park.
On April 24, the seven-night Springtime Fjordland cruise departs, and Ambience noses her way along the rugged Norwegian coast to take in Haugesund and Bergen. You will then sail through the fjords to Flåm and along picture-perfect Hardangerfjord to the town of Eidfjord.
LIFE ON BOARD
A spring voyage with Ambassador promises spectacular scenery as well as plenty of excitement aboard the cruise line’s flagship.
Ambience combines classic design with a sense of space and freedom. Welcoming just 1,400 guests, the feeling is one of meeting like-minded friends at a boutique hotel.
Dine at the Buckingham restaurant or Borough Market, soak up the sun at the Alfresco Grill, sample dry-aged cuts at Sea & Grass or delicious Indian cuisine at Saffron. The Chef’s Table also offers an exclusive multi-course dining experience.
There are multiple bars for a sundowner and a catch-up about your day, an enrichment programme with shows at the Palladium and fascinating guest lecturers.
You will also find everything from a library and shopping galleria to a swimming pool, hot tubs and a screen for outdoor films.
Ambassador also sets aside cabins dedicated to single travellers on each cruise, and if you join a cruise of six nights or more, you will be greeted with a welcome cocktail party and a whole programme of events, so you can meet other guests.
