Ambassador Cruise Line

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.

Honfleur is one of Normandy’s most charming ports, often topping the list of favourite stops on Seine cruises. Set on the estuary where the Seine meets the Channel, Honfleur’s appeal lies in its narrow cobbled streets, slate-fronted houses and historic harbour.The Vieux Bassin, or Old Dock, is the heart of Honfleur, with its tall, narrow buildings and the cafés and galleries that line the quay. Nearby, the Church of Sainte-Catherine, built in the 15th century, is one of France’s few remaining wooden churches.Honfleur’s artistic heritage is another draw.

Reviews Amazing first cruise.
Amazing first cruise.
I would recommend this cruise to anyone. It was my first time and I done the land of the northern lights. I travelled in a solo junior suite which was amazing. Travelling in a suite you were treated like royalty and everything you needed was catered for. I highly recommend the drinks package, they really do look after you.

Norwegian fjords sailing from Liverpool. This was at the time there was storms and we could not stop at the Shetland islands or 1 of the fjords however the ships crew very quickly adjusted what was on board in terms of entertainment to ensure the increased sea days remained enjoyable. The exceptional staff kept us updated through out.
