Ambassador Cruise Line are the newest cruise line on the block! Launching in 2021, Ambassador Cruise Line promises to inspire and delight every guest to enjoy an authentic cruise experience effortlessly, and sustainably. Their first ship on the way is Ambience which will set sail from Tilbury in Spring 2022 offering a range of ex-UK no-fly cruises for guests to enjoy.
But what’s next?
Well, Ambassador Cruise Line has just announced the purchase of its second ship, to be named Ambition, entering service in 2023. Ambition, like her sister ship Ambience will offer no-fly sailings predominantly targeting the 50-plus market with a premium-value, authentic cruise experience.
In addition to London Tilbury, she will also offer a summer 2023 programme of regional departures from ports such as Newcastle, Dundee, Belfast, Liverpool, Bristol and Falmouth, enabling guests across the UK to have a shorter distance to travel before experiencing Ambassador’s onboard service.
Ambition will carry up to 1,200 guests in considerable comfort and space in her 714 cabins, 125 of which have balconies and 113 are suites with up to 62m² of living space. She has two main restaurants and speciality dining options, a more casual bistro-style café, four bars and lounges and a pub. These will be complemented by a tiered main theatre, casino, card room, library, and craft studio.
Guests will also be able to enjoy the wellness centre, gymnasium, two swimming pools and a range of retail shops, all designed to create a friendly atmosphere onboard and cement Ambassador’s reputation for creating a “community at sea”, whilst giving all guests room to breathe.
CEO, Christian Verhounig said: “We are delighted with the warm reception given to the introduction of Ambassador to the market – a new brand, proposition and our first ship. This announcement of the addition of Ambition to the fleet reflects our confidence and willingness to invest in the future of Ambassador and the cruise sector. “
“We are particularly excited to be offering regional departure options for Ambition in 2023, whilst also offering guests who travel from London Tilbury a greater choice of sailings and ships on which to enjoy them. Clearly, we are all focused on the success of Ambience’s maiden season which commences in April this year, but we believe existing and new guests, as well as our trade partners, will be thrilled to hear about Ambassador’s growth plans”.
