Ambassador Cruise Line Launches 2024/25 Season Complete With A Range Of Exciting Itineraries And Early Booking Offers
Ambassador Cruise Line has launched its 2024/25 season, which will see the premium value, no-fly cruise line offer guests the ‘warmest welcome at sea’ as Ambience sets sail for a third season accompanied by her sister ship, Ambition, which will embark on her second year of itineraries.
The all-new season will see Ambassador increase its number of regional departures from 32 to 39 versus 2023/24, offering more choice than ever before to guests from across the UK. Regional gateways include Ambassador’s home port of London Tilbury, as well as Newcastle Tyne, Dundee, Edinburgh Leith, Liverpool, Belfast, Bristol Royal Portbury and Falmouth.
Ambience and Ambition will sail to 34 countries across six continents in 2024/25, calling at 127 ports while travelling almost 150,000 nautical miles.
Itineraries have been curated to offer guests a wide choice of unique cruise experiences that cater for all types of traveller. Ambassador’s smaller, energy-efficient fleet are (IMO) Tier III compliant, putting them in the top 10%-15% of sustainable ships worldwide. As both ships meet the highest industry emission standards, they can access some of the world’s best-kept secrets in the most environmentally friendly (and affordable) way possible.
Experiences include a range of authentic sailings for the over 50s market including round-Britain itineraries and cruises to the Norwegian Fjords, Mediterranean, Caribbean, West Indies and more; both Ambition and Ambience sailing in tandem to the Normandy coast, offering guests the chance to mark the 80th anniversary of the D-Day landings; two summer multigenerational and a new Easter multigenerational itinerary for all the family to enjoy; and a selection of Theme Cruises, complete with a wealth of legends of the stage and screen, guest experts, lecturers and entertainers set to bring those themes to life.
The season also includes a selection of ‘Short Sailings’, offering guests a choice of European City Breaks during the year as well as the chance to visit some of the continent’s most popular Christmas Markets during one of Ambassador’s popular Festive Getaways.
