Ambassador Cruise Line

Ambassador Cruise Line describes itself as a "premium value" service, offering value-for-money breaks aimed primarily at the over-50s.

The company, based in Essex, first sailed out of Tilbury in 2022, with its first Ambassador ship - Ambience, now joined by Ambition. Guests can expect talks, a vast array of entertainment, and a healthy choice of restaurants.

The tag claims "best value at sea" - we'd be inclined to agree.

Day 5

Stockholm

Stockholm is a city in the flush of its second youth. Since the mid-1990s, Sweden's capital has emerged from its cold, Nordic shadow to take the stage as a truly international city. What started with entry into the European Union in 1995 gained pace with the extraordinary IT boom of the late 1990s, strengthened with the Skype-led IT second wave of 2003, and solidified with the hedge-fund invasion that is still happening today as Stockholm gains even more global confidence. And despite more recent economic turmoil, Stockholm's 1 million or so inhabitants have, almost as one, realized that their city is one to rival Paris, London, New York, or any other great metropolis.With this realization comes change. Stockholm has become a city of design, fashion, innovation, technology, and world-class food, pairing homegrown talent with an international outlook. The streets are flowing with a young and confident population keen to drink in everything the city has to offer. The glittering feeling of optimism, success, and living in the here and now is rampant in Stockholm.Stockholm also has plenty of history. Positioned where the waters of Lake Mälaren rush into the Baltic, it’s been an important trading site and a wealthy international city for centuries. Built on 14 islands joined by bridges crossing open bays and narrow channels, Stockholm boasts the story of its history in its glorious medieval old town, grand palaces, ancient churches, sturdy edifices, public parks, and 19th-century museums—its history is soaked into the very fabric of its airy boulevards, built as a public display of trading glory.

Day 7

Riga

Nestled along the banks of the Daugava River, the Port of Riga beckons with a storied past dating back over 800 years. This bustling maritime hub bears witness to Riga's emergence as a trading powerhouse in the Hanseatic League, where merchants once bartered Baltic goods. The city's maritime heritage is palpable, reflected in its labyrinthine network of canals and historic warehouses. The Baltic climate lends a crispness to the air, invigorating travelers seeking authenticity amidst cobblestone streets and medieval spires. Amidst the city's vibrant markets and waterfront promenades, one can savor Riga's claim to fame: the birthplace of the Christmas tree tradition, dating back to 1510.

Day 8

Klaipeda

Set sail for Klaipėda, where the winds of history whisper tales of seafaring adventurers and maritime trade. As Lithuania's gateway to the Baltic Sea, Klaipėda beckons with a storied past that stretches back centuries. Nestled along the Curonian Lagoon, this coastal gem boasts a mild maritime climate, offering refreshing sea breezes and enchanting coastal vistas. Here, authenticity reigns supreme, inviting travelers to explore hidden gems and local treasures, away from the tourist crowds. Delve into the city's vibrant arts scene, stroll along the picturesque Melnragė Beach, or savor fresh seafood delicacies at the bustling Fish Market. Truly, Klaipėda is a haven for those seeking an authentic Baltic experience.

Day 10

Copenhagen

By the 11th century, Copenhagen was already an important trading and fishing centre and today you will find an attractive city which, although the largest in Scandinavia, has managed to retain its low-level skyline. Discover some of the famous attractions including Gefion Fountain and Amalienborg Palace, perhaps cruise the city’s waterways, visit Rosenborg Castle or explore the medieval fishing village of Dragoer. Once the home of Hans Christian Andersen, Copenhagen features many reminders of its fairytale heritage and lives up to the reputation immortalised in the famous song ‘Wonderful Copenhagen’.
