After pick-ups, we travel down to the port of London Tilbury to embark on our cruise ship. Once onboard, you can relax, unwind and enjoy the fabulous facilities and entertainment opportunities.

Enjoy your morning at sea, the perfect opportunity to explore the ship, relax, unwind, and spend quality time with those around you. Whether you pamper yourself in the Green Sea Spa, experience all the outstanding cuisine onboard or play games with friends or family, there's something for everyone. We arrive in Amsterdam in the early afternoon. Discover the capital of the Netherlands as you’d like, with a canal-woven city overflowing with top museums, attractions, quirky shops, and eateries just waiting for you to explore. Perhaps hop onto a small canal boat and see this mesmerising city, or visit the house of Anne Frank or the Vincent van Gogh Museum to view his magnificent complete works. We spend tonight docked in Amsterdam with more time to explore in the morning.

After breakfast, you’ll have more time to explore Amsterdam this morning. Why not visit the Rijksmuseum or take a relaxed stroll through Dam Square before we start our return voyage back to the UK?

We disembark back in London Tilbury this morning, where our coach will be waiting to take you home.

Ambassador Ambience

 

 

The first lady of the sea: the word ‘Ambience’ derived from the French word for ‘surrounding’, Ambassador’s goal is to create the optimum atmosphere onboard, one that brings out the best in everyone.

 

With an average 1,400-guest capacity and careful configuration, she offers both a feeling of spaciousness and freedom, whilst retaining that sense of intimacy and camaraderie we each crave; it’s whatever makes you comfortable.

 

Entertainment-wise, she really will spoil you for choice. Let your hair down at the Observatory and bring out your finest ensembles for The Palladium. Whether you like it shaken or stirred, she has numerous bars to whet your whistle, including Raffles Bar, Botanical Lounge, SW19 and The Purple Turtle Pub.

 

Dining options are plentiful at our Buckingham restaurant or the Borough Market, with plentiful cuisine options, and for those wanting to soak in nature’s glory, we have our glorious Alfresco Grill. Wining and dining are more than fine at Saffron*, Sea & Grass* or our deluxe Chef’s Table*, where we offer a speciality gastronomic experience that’s not to be missed.

 

Put your best cards forward at Aces & Eights bridge and card room and the Ambassador Casino or revive and renew at the gym and Wellness Centre. Other facilities include Kapoor’s, our onboard crafting studio, Brontë’s library, the shopping galleria, not to mention a swimming pool, two hot tubs and a large screen for outdoor movies. Sound good?
