Cruising with Ambassador Line

Ambassador Cruise Line hopes guests will forge long-lasting friendships at sea and create a real community at sea. Ambassador cruises are adult-focused and age-inclusive but primarily aimed at the 50-plus market. However, it will run a number of multi-generation cruises over the summer holidays so grandparents, parents and children will all be able to holiday together.

With an emphasis on no gimmicks onboard, the focus onboard is distinguished cuisine, enrichment and great entertainment.

The first vessel to set sail is Ambience. Ambience’s inaugural voyage was a short break cruise to Hamburg.

Ambassador is proud of the space afforded to cruise passengers onboard. The ship has a capacity for 2,000 passengers but the line will only carry 1,400.

Ambition cruise ship will enter service in the summer of 2023 and will initially sail around the UK. She will carry up to 1,200 guests in 714 cabins.
