Ambition - Shore excursions and activities

To enhance your cruise, we have designed a range of optional Destination Experiences to help you make the most of your time ashore. Visiting new destinations around the world is always an exciting prospect, so at each port, we aim to offer a variety of experiences to appeal to all tastes and budgets. We strongly recommended that you use our pre-registration service to ensure your place is reserved on your top picks.

Advantages of participating in Destination Experiences with us include:

• The ability to pre-register experiences online. Payments for Destination Experiences are charged to your shipboard account, payable at the end of your cruise, or at regular intervals during longer voyages.
• Competitive selling prices and the knowledge that all experiences are operated under the management of responsible and experienced local ground handling agencies, who hold the appropriate insurance cover to offer such services.
• Peace of mind that if the return of your experience to the ship is delayed for any reason, the onboard team will be kept fully informed and make necessary arrangements for you.
• If we are unable to call at a specific port for any reason, all guests registered on our experiences will receive a full refund.
• If the itinerary or call timings change during the cruise, we will endeavour to make necessary amendments with the local agents to ensure the experiences programme continues to operate with as little disruption as possible.
• A dedicated Destination Experiences team is there to assist you with your choice of experiences and ensure smooth disembarkation and operation in each port of call.
