Introducing
Britain’s newest cruise line
There’s no doubt that now, more than ever, there can be few greater pleasures than looking forward to a wonderful holiday aboard a welcoming, friendly cruise ship; to discovering, with each new dawn, a new adventure, new vistas, new places and new friends.
Ambience - The Best of Traditions The flagship Ambience will offer a premium-value cruise experience, sailing from London Tilbury, offering a range of no-flying itineraries that combine friendly, welcoming, on-board service with fascinating ports of call.
And what better way to enjoy these wonderful new experiences than with Britain’s newest cruise holiday company, Ambassador Cruise Line, aboard their flagship Ambience? Brought to you by a team with decades of experience of the UK cruise industry, and presented by Newmarket Holidays, who will begin their fortieth year of tour operating in 2022, Ambassador’s Maiden Season of cruises aboard Ambience will offer fascinating, safe and memorable holidays.
Carrying approximately 1,400 guests, in 798 comfortable cabins, including many with private balcony, Ambience will rekindle the on-board atmosphere previously enjoyed by Newmarket Holiday customers over many years. Five restaurants, two cafés, nine lounges, a swimming pool, spa, day and evening entertainment, and fitness and leisure facilities complemented by enticing enrichment and lifestyle programmes all contribute to the traditional experience.
The launch of Ambassador Cruise Line – the first since 2010 – is hugely exciting, especially for those tens of thousands of Newmarket Holidays’ customers who have enjoyed cruising from the UK in the past.
Ex-UK no-flying Adult Only and Multi-Generational Cruising
4
Ambience will mainly operate traditional cruises for adult passengers, ensuring that you can enjoy the pleasures of cruising with likeminded people. Although there are no facilities provided specifically for children on board. A limited number of sailings are designated as ‘Multi-Generational’ cruises, where all members of the family are welcome to join the party.
Book these Cruises online: www.newmarketholidays.co.uk/cruise
A Host of Activities Whether at sea or in port, there’s a vast array of things to do or not to do. In addition to enjoying the ships’ facilities and amenities and the delights of the fascinating ports of call, you can choose to take part in a wide variety of on-board activities, organised by the Cruise Director and the team, adding to the pleasure of your holiday. Head for an exercise class or the fitness centre to ward off the guilt pangs at the calorie intake…then head for breakfast! Join in a daily quiz or attend an informative lecture to learn about the next fascinating port of call. Competitive types might sign up for deck games, enthusiasts for dance classes, while like-minded folk might meet in the card room for a hand or two of bridge, or others retire to a quiet corner of a lounge or library to curl up with a book.
Exciting Shore Excursions For many the highlight of a cruise is the chance, on arrival in each new port of call, to go ashore and explore new surroundings in the company of friendly, knowledgeable guides.
Towards a Brighter Future – Caring for Our World As we all increasingly recognise the environmental impact of travel and the need to limit our footprint, it’s reassuring to know that Ambience, prior to the start of the 2022 season, fully three years before the requirement comes into force in 2025, will be upgraded with emission reduction technologies to be fully International Marine Organisation Tier III compliant. Tier III standards aim to reduce harmful nitrogen oxide emissions by 70 percent from the present Tier II level. In addition, Ambience will have the latest ballast and sewage water treatment systems, enabling her to sail in all strictly environmentally protected seas. With sustainability firmly in front of mind, measures such as the elimination of single-use plastics on-board, the wide use of ecoconscious products, a paperless ethos throughout, and a waste reduction programme will make Ambience an innovator in her class, when it comes to environmental best practice.
Fascinating Guest Speakers On longer cruises there are opportunities to attend light-hearted but absorbing talks given by guest speakers. These talks often cover nearby places of interest, as well as the bird, marine, or wildlife that you might expect to encounter.

Dining – always a pleasure! One of the greatest pleasures of life aboard Ambience is the chance to enjoy delicious food prepared by skilled chefs and served in a wonderful convivial atmosphere that can be enjoyed with your travelling companion or new-found friends. With a host of on-board activities to ensure that any calories inevitably gained can, if you wish, be burned off in the fitness centre or with a few turns around the deck, even the most diet-conscious can avoid pangs of guilt, despite the wonderful array of tempting culinary delights to be found in the ship’s various dining rooms. From a full English breakfast – or a traditional continental variety – through a leisurely lunch, and on to the highlight of the culinary day, the evening meal, the ship’s kitchens will surprise and delight you every day of your cruise.
British and International Cuisine A choice of dining options brings opportunities for you to plan your meals as you would at home, in as casual or formal way as possible. Begin your day with breakfast, either in the main Buckingham Restaurant or on deck. In addition to a full range of buffet-style offerings, you can order your eggs exactly as you like them, cooked as fresh as the morning. Lunch – a relaxed casual affair – is similarly presented in a buffet style, often with locally inspired. Indeed, one of the ways in which your palate is delighted is by the great variety of dishes prepared according to the traditions of the destinations you are visiting, served alongside those tailored to suit British tastes. When evening comes, whether it’s a formal night, when the ladies like to dress for the occasion and gentlemen don jacket and tie and sometimes dress suits in traditional style, or a dress-down ‘partynight’, the highlight of the day is inevitably the spread prepared by the kitchen team. Delicious appetisers, salads and soups and a choice of main courses, whether pastas, seafood or meat dishes, and an array of desserts presented by the pastry chefs – or a tempting cheese platter – ensure that you leave the table each night vowing that tomorrow, the diet begins again! Of course, there are healthy options and vegetarian choices offered on every mouth-watering menu. In addition, a choice of dining venues brings the chance to enjoy a change of scenery and often a lighter meal – something often appreciated on longer voyages.
In-between Meals As long as you’re aboard ship, you’ll never go hungry, since in addition to meal times, there are afternoon tea and even late-night snacks to keep tummies from rumbling!
Speciality Dining You’ll find more intimate specialty restaurants offering yet further dining options aboard Ambience. Perfect for that special occasion or simply to treat yourself – why not, you’re on holiday? Please note: There is a supplementary charge for dining in these speciality venues.
The Ultimate Dining Experience We are delighted to offer Ambience guests The Chef’s Table, an exclusive VIP multi-course dining experience, specially created and hosted by the Executive Chef. Enjoy a private sparkling wine cocktail and canapés reception, a tour of the galley in operational mode and a splendid nine-course menu accompanied with specially selected wines. The Executive Chef will desfribe the ingredients and techniques used to produce each of the courses. The Chef’s Table experience can be reserved on board at an additional cost, subject to availability.

For earlybirds or night-owls, there’s plenty to do... or simply relax! In addition to the opportunities during each cruise to discover and explore all the colourful sights and sounds provided by the ship’s fascinating ports of call, life on board is every bit as exciting and enjoyable, from the moment you rise to the time you retire to your cabin at day’s end.
Organised by the Cruise Director and his team, and detailed in the Daily Programme, there are a host of daytime activities that you can choose to join as you wish, as well as themed evenings to enjoy.
Daytime Fun Perhaps you’re looking forward to testing your bridge skills in Aces & Eights, learning a new skill under the expert tutelage of an on-board craftsperson in Kapoors, or practising some steps on the dance floor with a dance instructor – there’s never any shortage of things to do during the day. In addition to the traditional port talks, which provide a background to the ship’s next destination, most cruises feature fascinating talks on a variety of subjects by experts in their fields, who are always happy to engage in lively conversation after delivering their lectures. Of course, should you wish to simply curl up in a quiet corner with a good book, you’re equally welcome.
Glittering Nights However you choose to spend your days, it’s when the sun begins to drift towards and below the yardarm that entertainment on board ship takes off. Begin your evening with a cocktail in one of the bars, or catch the sun’s last rays on deck before you head to the Buckingham Restaurant for a delicious evening meal. Following the culinary highlight of the day and the chance to catch up with fellow diners, perhaps head for a ‘digestif’ in one of the bars or lounges, or take your seat in The Paladium, where the multi-talented troupe of entertainers await your company. A mixture of ‘Big Show’ nights, with singers and dancers, speciality acts and guest artists, cabaret and classical musicians all add to the enjoyment. As an alternative to The Paladium, there are quieter corners on board, perhaps in the Raffles Bar or SW19, where a relaxed, convivial atmosphere helps you wind down in the company of new‑found friends. For night owls, there’s always a dance floor to find, while for others, it’s a turn on the deck – hopefully under the stars – before you head to your cabin, never more than a short walk away.

The Glorious British Isles Puffins, Orkney Isles
Portree, Isle of Skye
Some of the most popular itineraries offered by
Ambience are the circumnavigations of our ‘sceptred isle’, with just a dash of additional colour across the Channel or Irish Sea to complete the enjoyment of cruises that explore some of our most beautiful, remoter corners… proving once again that “there’s no place like home”.
These itineraries combine the traditional pleasures of the ship with some wonderful places throughout the UK and just beyond, offering island calls aplenty and some of the UK’s fascinating remoter reaches. Perhaps you’ll discover delightful Mull’s pretty Tobermory and Orkney’s fabled Scapa Flow. Southern island calls include the beautiful island of Guernsey, Britain’s sunny southern outpost, and the magical, sub-tropical Isles of Scilly. With Scottish mainland calls to take in the scenic Highlands or Edinburgh’s glories, and regular visits to vibrant Irish gateway Cork and Normandy’s pretty artists’ retreat Honfleur, these hugely popular cruises are sure to sell out quickly.

Honfleur, France
Selected Ports of Call Belfast
Honfleur
The vibrant, regenerated gateway to Northern Ireland, with its great buildings like City Hall, Stormont Castle, Queens University, monumental St Anne’s Cathedral and the extraordinary Belfast Titanic Quarter, one of Britain’s most iconic developments of recent years, also offers the chance to explore the wild Antrim coast and the wondrous Giant’s Causeway, with its extraordinary basalt columns.
Set at the mouth of the River Seine and the glorious Normandy countryside, this delightful port town was a favourite retreat of the French Impressionists. Wander the quayside of the picture-book harbour surrounded by gabled houses, or perhaps venture further afield, perhaps to fashionable Deauville or the nearby D-Day beaches.
Cobh for Cork, Ireland Maritime Cobh, gateway to the great Irish trading city of Cork and the beautiful rolling countryside of southwest Ireland, offers the chance to discover the lively city, with its elegant Grand Parade and bustling St Patrick’s Street, to visit ‘foodie mecca’ Kinsale, famed for its sea-fishing, or to journey to famous Blarney Castle, for a chance to kiss the Blarney Stone and receive “the gift of the gab”.
Holyhead The historic Irish Sea port on ancient Anglesey is gateway to stunning countryside, some of Britain’s finest beaches, to Edward I’s Beaumaris Castle and to three picturesque bridges across the Menai Strait, connecting Anglesey to the mainland. Don’t miss the chance to photograph the nearby, famous, 58-lettered ‘Llanfair P.G.’ railway sign.
For the full range of cabin fares see pages 50-51
Invergordon Lying on Cromarty Firth on Scotland’s rugged East Coast, Invergordon is one of Britain’s greatest natural harbours, and gateway to the Highlands, to Inverness and famous Loch Ness beyond. Golfers might head to nearby Dornoch, home to one of the world’s finest courses, just an hour away, while whisky connoisseurs might make a pilgrimage of a different kind, to celebrated Ord Distillery!
Kirkwall, Orkney Isles The rugged capital of Orkney, with its magnificent St Magnus Cathedral, meandering streets and excellent museum, is gateway to the waters of fabled Scapa Flow, where the German Fleet was scuttled in 1919, and HMS Royal Oak sunk in WW2, prompting Churchill to order construction of the famous Barriers. The beautiful Italian Chapel serves as a reminder that they were built with the aid of Italian prisoners of war.
Call us on: 0330 160 7977

Portree, Skye The tiny harbour of Portree, on the sheltered eastern coast of the ‘Misty Isle’, is gateway to a rugged land of windswept moors, the great Cuillin Hills and a coast teeming with aquatic- and birdlife. Historic Dunvegan Castle is the world’s longest continuously inhabited fortress, and can be explored on a optional shore excursion.
Rosyth On the Firth of Forth, this busy port is gateway to the delights of Scottish capital Edinburgh, the exquisite ‘Athens of the North’, with its fabled Royal Mile, majestic Castle, and Holyrood Palace.
St Mary’s, Isles of Scilly Just 28 miles off the coast of Cornwall, the fabled Isles of Scilly are a world away from the mainland. An anchorage in sheltered blue waters brings opportunities to go ashore to explore tiny Hugh Town and the flower-strewn by-ways of St Mary’s, and to visit stunning Tresco, where the world famous Abbey Gardens house Britain’s finest sub-tropical plant collection.
St Peter Port, Guernsey Channel Isle Guernsey’s delightful St Peter Port is gateway to Britain’s sun-kissed southern outpost. Don’t miss 800-year-old Castle Cornet, which guards the entrance to the harbour, nor the medieval, cobbled central quarter of the town itself, where colourful stalls offer tax-free gifts. Beyond the town a green, rolling, flower-covered countryside gives way to sandy beaches backed by high cliffs and dotted with historic fortifications.
Tresco Abbey, St Mary’s, Isles of Scilly
Tobermory, Isle of Mull The beautiful island of Mull offers breathtaking scenery, abundant wildlife and a spectacular coastline. The small town of Tobermory, familiar to many with its picturesque, multi-coloured houses encircling the waterfront, is a delightful place to explore, as is nearby famous Duart Castle, seat of Clan Maclean.
We offer five cruises exploring our glorious British Isles – which will you choose?

The stunning Norwegian Fjords Bergen
Geirangerfjord, Norway
One of the world’s most beguiling regions, beautiful
Western Norway is to be found at the top of many a ‘wish-list’. Stretching hundreds of miles into the pristine interior, the still, deep waters of the fjords are fringed by picture-book settlements and backed by a breathtaking hinterland of forest, glacier and snow-capped peaks. Perhaps the most popular destination of all for British cruise holidaymakers, the fjords welcome awe-struck guests from early spring to late autumn, each season revealing a different aspect of their glory – spring’s apple blossom and the freshness of the awakening year, summer’s warm days, which are perhaps the best time to venture inland, for the chance to view the vast, pristine interior, and autumn’s reds, russets and golds, when plunging waterfalls are at their tumultuous best. Exquisite ports of call abound, including tiny Eidfjord, deep in the heart of Hardangerfjord. Mighty Sognefjord leads to Aurlandsfjord and remote Flåm, terminus of the world-famous Flåmsbana Mountain Railway, while Geirangerfjord is home to several picture-book fjordside villages. No visit to the region is complete without a day in historic Bergen crowning what is always a memorable voyage whenever you choose to travel.

Sognefjord
The famous Flåm Railway
Selected Ports of Call Bergen
Eidfjord
Regarded as the ‘Gateway to the Fjords’, and featured on most Norwegian itineraries, the ancient Hanseatic city of Bergen, with its narrow cobbled streets, medieval houses and vibrant harbour area with its open-air Fish Market, is a sparkling jewel. Birthplace of composer Edvard Grieg, and boasting the ancient Bryggen area of wooden warehouses, the city also offers spectacular views from the summit of ‘Mount’ Fløyen, reached by taking the quaint Fløibanen funicular railway.
The gentle waters of one of the world’s most beautiful stretches of water reach far into a picture-perfect land of glaciers and mountains, waterfalls and hidden lakes, and lead into smaller Eidfjord. Make a call in the village of the same name, from where you might take an optional excursion to the famous, 145-metre Vøringfossen waterfalls.
Flåm In a remote corner of mighty Sognefjord, one of the world’s largest and deepest, tiny Flåm is famed as the terminus of the extraordinary Flåmsbana Mountain Railway. Board the train to gasp in amazement at the sheer beauty – and the feat of engineering – of the unforgettable journey to Myrdal.
Haugesund
We offer six cruises to the Norwegian Fjords – which will you choose?
Beautifully set at the south-western gateway to majestic ‘Fjordland’, this former Viking stronghold was home to Norway’s rulers for over 500 years, and today combines the bustle of a modern port with preserved Viking heritage. A walkabout town, with a host of shops and delightful cafés, Haugesund is also a perfect jumping off point for excursions into the interior, perhaps to the stunning Langfoss waterfall or the Viking farmstead at Avaldsnes.
Geiranger
Olden
Smaller Geirangerfjord is also one of the most beautiful, its twists and turns marked by several crashing waterfalls and – in Geiranger itself – an ancient and beguiling village that for its truly breathtaking setting is simply hard to beat.
Tucked into a far corner of Nordfjord, Olden is the ideal place to join a shore excursion through more almost unimaginably beautiful countryside to the famous Briksdal Glacier, part of the vast icy mass of the Josterdalsbreen ice-pack, which broods over the eastern reaches of the fjord.

St Petersburg, Russia The jewel in the crown of the Baltic sailings, and featured as an overnight stay, great Tsarist St Petersburg is one of the world’s most glorious cities, with its incomparable Hermitage Museum, its wide, pedestrianised, canal-side boulevards and its modern and vibrant ‘European’ atmosphere. Explore the city’s Haymarket district, still redolent with scenes from Dostoyevsky’s novels, and gaze in awe at the opulence of the Marinsky Theatre, home to the world renowned ‘Kirov’ Ballet. The two-day stay usually affords time to visit the fabled Summer Palace of the Romanovs at Petrodvorets on an optional excursion.
Tallinn, Estonia Almost impossibly beautiful, the Estonian capital Tallinn, with its enchanting and virtually perfectly preserved Old Town, is one of Europe’s most scenic and engaging cities. ‘Step back in time’ as you discover and explore this gem, with its winding cobblestone streets full of storybook houses, spectacular churches and ancient buildings, all watched over by Toompea Castle.
Visby, Gotland Swedish Baltic island Gotland’s picturepostcard-perfect capital Visby is a medieval

treasure chest of wooden cottages, cobbled streets and Gothic churches, and gateway to a pristine land of tranquil countryside and fine beaches. Inhabited since prehistoric times, Gotland boats some fascinating archaeological finds as well as some unique rock formations.
Klaipéda, Lithuania The once-secretive port of Klaipéda boasts an unspoiled Old Town of half-timbered houses, cafés and gift shops. Venture further afield on shore excursions, perhaps to the vast sand dunes of the Curonian Spit National Park, or to the fascinating Zemaitija National Park, a former Cold War enclave.

Grand Voyages of
Discovery Qaqortoq
Ponta Delgada, São Miguel,
Two of the undoubted highlights of Ambience’s Maiden
Season are these wonderful cruises, both of which cross the Atlantic to some colourful destinations, and which offer a mix of exciting ports of call and plenty of time to enjoy life aboard ship.
Choose the autumn 2022 voyage through northern waters, taking in breathtaking, pristine Greenland, before sailing west on a route once plied by Norse explorers to Canadian shores. Here, the sparkling cities and historic settlements of the great St Lawrence River await discovery, before you make your way back past the rugged isles and coastal townships of the Eastern Seaboard, before recrossing the Atlantic and calling at Icelandic capital Reykjavík (see page 38). Or join Ambience in early 2023, journeying away from the worst of winter’s chill, to the blue seas and even bluer skies of the Caribbean, enjoying the warmth and colour of calls in some beautiful island idylls, as well as an overnight stay in pulsating Havana, the intoxicating Cuban capital. With the Atlantic crossings punctuated with island calls, this is a perfect winter-warming voyage (see page 39).

Selected Ports of Call Grand Canada & Greenland cruise Qaqortoq, Greenland On Greenland’s southern tip, pretty Qaqortoq resembles a Riviera resort, with added whales and icebergs. Boasting a fascinating museum and a town square with a rare Greenlandic fountain, the town is gateway to the hot springs at Uunartoq.
Narsarsuaq, Greenland With a name that means ‘Great Plain’, and built on the edge of the ice sheet on a panflat swathe of land, Narsarsuag is site of Greenland’s main airport, home to just 160 residents and close to Norse explorer Erik the Red’s settlement
St John’s, Newfoundland Canada’s easternmost settlement, historic St John’s was founded on the fishing industry and is still a hive of waterfront activity. Step ashore to stroll Water Street, with its fascinating Newfoundland Museum, or to join a shore excursion, perhaps to Cape Spear, North America’s nearest point to Europe.
Québec City North America’s only walled city offers the narrow, cobbled alleyways of endlessly enthralling Vieux-Québec, dominated by the monumental Citadelle and the Château Frontenac hotel. Québec exudes charm from every pore, with countless monuments, churches and some of Canada’s oldest buildings.
Montréal Built ‘astride’ the great St Lawrence, Olympic city Montréal is a cosmopolitan mélange of high culture, high fashion and
Montreal
high tech, its glittering, glass and steelwaterfront contrasting with the Bohemian groove of trendy Plateau Mont Royal and the cobblestones of Vieux Montréal.
Sydney, Nova Scotia Gateway to the stunning scenery of Cape Breton Island, one of North America’s most beautiful corners, home to the scenic Cabot Trail and the Cape Bretons Highlands National Park, and guardian of a deeprooted Scottish musical heritage.
Road Town, Tortola, British Virgin Islands Road Town’s historic harbour has offered shelter since the days of Sir Francis Drake. Step ashore to explore the laid-back capital of this ‘land of turtle doves’, or perhaps take an excursion to discover wonderfully named Mount Healthy National Park.
Kingstown, St Vincent & Grenadines
Cuba & the Treasures of the Caribbean cruise
In what might arguably be described as one of the most idyllic of all the Caribbean’s beautiful settings, charming Kingstown is the bustling capital of the tiny island group.
Mindelo, Cape Verde
Ponta Delgada, São Miguel, The Azores
The remote, volcanic isles of the Cape Verde archipelago are a popular mid-Atlantic stopping-off point. Sao Vicente boasts pretty capital Mindelo and a verdant interior.
Bridgetown, Barbados Cricket-loving Barbados is the most British of the Caribbean isles, with bustling, colourful capital Bridgetown lying close to exquisite beaches backed by some famously swanky resort hotels and exclusive shoreside restaurants.
St George’s, Grenada This gorgeous ‘Spice Island’ is famed for its nutmeg, cinnamon and countless other flavourings. Attractive British colonial capital St George’s boasts a maze of streets leading from the horseshoe-shaped harbour, the Carenage. Shore excursions offer opportunities to discover the rain-forested interior and the island’s scenic coasts.
Capital of the ‘Green Island’ that is the Azores’ largest, Ponta Delgada is an elegant, cosmopolitan city of grand buildings, marbled squares, ornate churches and a sweeping promenade overlooking its busy port - landing place of many a transatlantic sailor and cruise ship.
Which of these two Grand Voyages will you choose?
Havana, Cuba Cuban capital Havana is a Spanish colonial treasure chest, bursting with sights, sounds and irrepressible vitality. Home to the world’s finest cigars, to son and rumba music, and birthplace of salsa, highlights include the preserved old quarter, its famous classic American cars and the sweeping seafront Malecón promenade.

Cruise South to the Sun! Lisbon
Istanbul, Turkey
Take advantage of the ship’s outside deck space and leisure
areas on some exciting departures that take in the warmer climes of Southern Europe and North Africa, and head to the sun-kissed isles of the North Atlantic, and, on two grand voyages in autumn 2022 and springtime 2023, explore some of the Mediterranean’s most colourful corners and head through the Bosphorus to some fascinating Black Sea ports.
Two winter-warming cruises sail south to Spain and Portugal before heading into the Atlantic, taking in the floral glories of Garden Isle Madeira, the sun-kissed beaches of the Canary Isles and the colour and excitement of Morocco – with the volcanic Cape Verde isles added to the 2023 sailing. Two month-long voyages of discovery see Ambience sail through the Straits of Gibraltar into the Mediterranean, calling twice in fascinating Sicily en route to Istanbul and the Black Sea. Discover ancient ports in Bulgaria, Romania and the Ukraine, before more treasures of antiquity are revealed in Athens and extraordinary Alexandria. Visits to wine -producing Limassol, in Cyprus, to Haifa – for timeless Jerusalem - and Gibraltar, which provides an early taste of home, complete these special cruises.

Selected Ports of Call
Alexandria, Egypt Extraordinary Alexandria preserves an air of nostalgia – in the traditional coffee houses and cafés - for the ‘Alex’ of old. Highlights include the fascinating Graeco-Roman Museum. Egypt’s only Roman amphitheatre and, nearby, the site of the mystical Pharos, the fabled lighthouse which was one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World.
Cádiz Ancient Cádiz, where Drake daringly sacked the original Spanish Armada, is a fascinating place, with its elegant squares, great Cathedral and wonderful Botanical Garden. Join an excursion to ‘City of Flamenco’ Seville – one of Southern Spain’s most sparkling jewels.
Vigo, Spain Nesebar, Bulgaria
Funchal, Madeira Some 500 miles off the coast of Africa, Madeira is one of the world’s most beautiful islands. The verdant island capital, Funchal, is a perfect, relaxing, captivating port of call. Don’t miss the truly wonderful Botanical Gardens, or the exhilaration of a wickerwork ‘toboggan’ ride from Monte to Livramento!
Gibraltar The very British outpost of Gibraltar sits beneath the mighty Rock marking the point where the Mediterranean spills out into the Atlantic Ocean. Wander along bustling Main Street, with its familiar shops and stores, or take the cable car to the heights above for spectacular views.
Las Palmas, Gran Canaria The Canaries’ largest trading port is gateway to fascinating Gran Canaria. Explore bustling Puerto de la Luz, or head to the old town, with its cathedral and palm-fringed squares. Take an optional shore excursion into the island interior, which rises to the height of nearly 2000 metres, with superb views all round.
Leixoes for Oporto This Portuguese port gives you the chance to step ashore, perhaps to join an excursion to the historic city of Oporto, in its picturepostcard setting on the River Douro.
Lisbon The ‘Gateway to the New Worlds’ stands on the River Tagus, down which the great explorers sailed during the Age of Exploration. A shore excursion will introduce the Portuguese capital, where the maze of narrow, hilly streets of the Alfamar district bustle with life in a way unchanged it seems for centuries.
Santa Cruz de Tenerife This gateway to the Canaries’ largest island brings opportunites to do everything from swimming in warm waters to throwing snowballs on the slopes of Spain’s highest peak, Mt Teide, to enjoying the glitz of the city’s shopping malls or wandering some stunning gardens.
Palermo, Sicily The Sicilian capital, Palermo reflects the extraordinary, colourful heritage of the island in a series of stunning landmarks – the Cattedrale, the Royal Palazzo dei Normanni, the Archaeological Museum – and the streets of its four historic quarters, the Quattro Canti. Take an excursion to nearby Monreale’s great Benedictine monastery and Norman cathedral.
The magnificent city of Vigo, in its stunning natural setting on the southern shore of its eponymous fjord, is gateway to the Galician coast and ‘Green Spain’. Take in the view of the vast natural harbour from above the town, perhaps visit the bustling fish market, or perhaps join an optional shore excursion to fabled Santiago de Compostela.
Istanbul, Turkey
Often called the ‘Pearl of the Black Sea’ or the ‘Bulgarian Dubrovnik’, the ancient city of Nesebur, connected by a man-made isthmus to the popular, modern resort of Sunny Beach, is a living museum reflecting three thousand years of colourful history in its cobbled streets and countless churches.
One of the world’s most exciting, mystical, enthralling cities, magical Istanbul sits astride the Bosphorus at the meeting point of Europe and Asia. East meets west in a fusion of colour and sound, in a place that -first as Byzantium, then fabled Constantinople – was one of the world’s most important cities. Discover great buildings and monuments, including the extraordinary Topkapı Palace, the breath-taking Blue Mosque and the great Byzantine Aya Sofya, and visit the world’s largest covered bazaar - the vast Kapali Çarsi.
Constanta, Romania
Mindelo, Cape Verde
Ancient Constanta is Romania’s largest Black Sea port and a city rich in architectural and archaeological treasures, including some preserved Roman mosaics and a fine Old Town of historic churches, a mosque and several museums. It also serves as gateway to the Danube Delta, a bird-watcher’s paradise of marshes and reed islands.
The remote, volcanic isles of the Cape Verde archipelago have been a popular midAtlantic stopping-off point for centuries. Pretty Mindelo, capital of Sao Vicente, is the cultural hub of the islands, and offers a warm, welcoming fusion of Portuguese, African and Brazilian influences, as well as a bustling fish market and rugged, verdant interior.
Odessa, Ukraine
Casablanca, Morocco
Ukraine’s famous port-city was ‘founded’ by Catherine the Great, but dates back to the 13th Century, and is Mediterranean in feel, with rich architecture reflecting its importance on the world stage. Sites include the famous Opera House where Tchaikovsky once played, the Imperial Palace and the legendary Potemkin Steps – 192 in all.
Romantic, fabled Casablanca, renowned for its connections with the celebrated movie, is today a world away from Humphrey Bogart’s sleepy town. Startlingly modern but retaining its sense of the past in its ancient medina, the city offers wonderful beaches, some designer shopping and the fascination of the gigantic Hassan II Mosque.
Piraeus for Athens, Greece
Catania, Sicily
The busy port of Piraeus is gateway to an extraordinary, beguiling, bustling city crowned by the fabled Acropolis and the familiar ruins of the Parthenon, one of the world’s most enduring symbols. Close by, more major monuments, despite the ravages of time, remain awe-inspiring windows to the 5th century BC era of the great Classical Greek Civilisation and its immortal leader Pericles.
Although blessed with some striking landmarks of its own, including its stunning Baroque cathedral of St Agata, Sicily’s major Ionian port-city of Catania is known best as a gateway to distant , snow capped Etna, fabled hill-town Taormina, with its Greco-Roman theatre, and UNESCO-listed Syracuse, once home to Archimedes.
Nesebar, Bulgaria
Limassol, Cyprus Cyprus’ second city offers some fascinating sights, excellent shopping, and a compact Old City - home to the city’s picturesque fishing harbour and yachting marina. Close by, the ancient Castle once witnessed the marriage of Richard the Lionheart. Stroll through the streets of the Turkish Quarter, and don’t miss the historic Grand Mosque.

Celebrate the
Festive Season!
Get Christmas off to a wonderful start as you join magnificent Ambience on a choice
of two delightful short breaks from Tilbury, or join her as she sails south to the sun to celebrate the season and welcome in 2023 in the warmth of the Canary Isles.
Few things will get you into the festive spirit faster than a visit to a Christmas market. Our two Christmas market cruises offer you the chance to get the season off to a memorable start as you join Ambience, dressed in her festive finery, for a short break. Picture yourself browsing the wooden stalls of a traditional Christmas market, the scents of gingerbread and mulled wine hanging in the air, perhaps in the shadow of a medieval castle all lit up in festive finery. Or leave behind the grey and gloom of the British winter entirely, as you sail
south to the sun-kissed islands off the west coast of Africa to enjoy a truly memorable Christmas and New Year break.
Get in the spirit of the holiday season or simply
escape from it all!

A-Z Holiday Information Please carefully read this information, which contains useful details that you need to know before you book your cruise holiday. Should there be some additional information that you require, or you have questions about any aspect of your cruise, please do not hesitate to contact us. Full detailed information is available on our website at newmarketholidays.co.uk
Baggage
There is no restriction on the amount of luggage that you may bring aboard Ambience. To reduce the risk of accidental damage during baggage handling, please do not overpack your suitcases and also ensure that no one item of baggage weighs more than 23kgs/50lbs. As there are no separate baggage room facilities aboard our ships, all baggage must be stored within the cabin. Under-bed storage is available in most cabins for suitcases not exceeding 23cms depth. We strongly recommend the use of security locks for your luggage for all parts of your journey. Jewellery, medication, travel documents, passport and other valuables should be kept in your hand luggage. All baggage should be clearly labelled with your name and cabin number. Neither Newmarket Holidays or Ambassador Cruise Line is responsible for any loss or damage to your luggage during transit to or from the ship. In case of loss or damage, advise the carriers involved and your insurance company.
Booking Conditions
In order to travel aboard Ambience, guests must confirm they have read and accept the Booking Conditions prior to booking, which cover the detailed terms and conditions under which bookings are accepted. It is the guest’s responsibility to ensure that all the ship’s manifest information, including, but not limited to, full names, dates of birth, passport details, travel insurance and medical declarations, is provided to the company no later than 4 weeks before sailing. Failure to provide such information could result in a delay in boarding at Embarkation or, in extreme circumstances, the permissions to board being refused.
Brochure Information
The information contained in this brochure has been checked for accuracy and is correct at the time of printing in June 2021. Worldwide events after this date may necessitate unavoidable alterations to our planned schedules. Any such changes deemed to be significant or fundamental to your booking will be advised to you accordingly. It should also be noted that the destination photography and maps are generic to the locations depicted and may not be a specific representation of sights or images to be viewed in a particular port of call on the cruise booked. Similarly, cabin photography is typical of the category shown but individual furnishings and colour schemes may vary within the same cabin grade.
Children and Teens
Please note that our ships are child-free and therefore for the enjoyment of adult guests only (18 years and above at the time of sailing), except for our advertised multi-generational cruises. There are no dedicated recreational facilities for children aboard but accompanied children and teenagers under the age of 18 at the date of sailing are, of course, welcome on board and, when occupying a third or fourth berth in a cabin with two full fare-paying guests, travel at the beneficial rate shown under the ‘Fares’ boxes. Children and teens under the age of 18 at the date of sailing, but occupying a twin cabin with just one accompanying adult, are charged at the full adult fare.
Complimentary Upgrades
If at the time of booking you selected the option for a ‘Complimentary upgrade’, we will automatically allocate a more superior cabin, at the berthing stage, if there is a higher grade of accommodation available. Please note that you may ultimately be berthed in a higher grade of a cabin for the same price but in some circumstances, this may be located on a lower deck, or have an obstructed view. In most cases, the cabin number will be confirmed at the ticketing stage; however, we reserve the right to make changes up to the time of embarkation.

Dress Code
During the day, attitudes are very relaxed, and informality is the key. Casual clothing is quite sufficient during the days at sea and for time spent ashore. On certain shore excursions and at some religious sites, discretion should be used so as not to cause inadvertent offence with inappropriate clothing. Advice will be given on board in such cases. Every day, the Daily Programme suggests, as a guide, a mode of dress for that particular evening’s events. Generally, there are two ‘formal’ or Ambassador nights planned on each cruise when many gentlemen wear a dinner jacket, although a lounge suit is quite acceptable. On these occasions, ladies have a chance to dress up and often opt for evening or cocktail dresses. On evenings proposed as ‘smart’, a suit or smart jacket and trousers, with or without a tie, for the men is suggested and the ladies have further opportunities to look elegant in a cocktail dress, trouser suits and stylish co-ordinates. A ‘casual’ recommendation often covers evenings spent in port or when a special event, such as a deck party, is scheduled. In these cases, the choice of dress is left entirely to you.

The onboard shops are open daily when the ship is at sea, but local customs regulations do not permit the sale of duty-free goods whilst a ship is in port. It should be noted that alcohol and tobacco products purchased will only be delivered to your cabin on the last day of the cruise. If alcohol and tobacco products are purchased ashore, these will be taken from you at the gangway and stored until the last night of the cruise. Alcoholic beverages and tobacco may, of course, be purchased throughout the cruise from the ship’s bars at the listed shipboard prices.
Electrical Appliances
All cabins feature 110v and 220v current and have a UK 3 pin socket with USB to allow small appliances such as mobile phones, tablets, electric shavers, or electric rollers to be used or charged. For safety reasons, irons and water heating devices are not permitted to be used on board.
Embarkation/Disembarkation Arrangements
The embarkation procedures at UK ports normally commence four hours before the published sailing time. For final disembarkation, you should allow approximately 90 minutes from the scheduled arrival time before disembarkation will commence. The full embarkation procedures and timings will be confirmed with your cruise documentation, usually 14 days before sailing.
Extras Not Included
Please refer to our online Booking Conditions for what is included in the fare. Unless otherwise stated, the following extras are not included: travel insurance; travel joining costs to the port of embarkation; optional shore excursions; port parking; onboard spending of a personal nature i.e. drinks, gifts, shopping, laundry, communications etc; any visa and health certificate charges that may apply; and crew gratuities and services charges which will be automatically billed to your onboard account.
Fares
All fares published in this brochure and on our website are cruise only per person.
Force Majeure Except where otherwise expressly stated in the booking conditions, we regret we cannot accept liability, or pay any compensation, where the performance or prompt performance of our contractual obligations is prevented or affected by or you otherwise suffer any damage (or as more fully described under Our Responsibility in our main booking conditions) as a result of ‘Force Majeure’. ‘Force Majeure’ means any event which we or the supplier of service(s) in question could not, even with all due care, foresee or avoid.

or nuclear disaster, adverse weather conditions, fire or similar events outside of our control.
Gratuities and Service Charge
Ambassador Cruise Line operates an automatic system whereby an amount of £6.00 per person per night (this amount reduces to £5.00 per person per night for cruises of 16 nights or more in duration) and is automatically added to your onboard account. This also includes all service charges for drinks. All monies are collated so a portion goes to each crew member, who helps to make your cruise special. This is not only distributed to your cabin steward and your waiter or bar attendant; it is also distributed between the hidden stars behind the scenes, such as laundry operatives and kitchen staff, who you might never get to meet in person. We offer a choice of three excellent value drinks package options that include gratuities and service charges and allow you to budget accordingly and avoid any extra costs.
Guaranteed Cabins If we accept your booking but are unable at the time to quote you a specific cabin number, or you have booked one of the Cabin Guarantees that are available on certain cruises, we shall allocate you a ‘guaranteed’ cabin at the fare quoted for your chosen grade of accommodation. In most cases, the cabin number will be confirmed with your cruise documentation; however, we reserve the right to make changes up to the time of embarkation.
Health Requirements
Please check with your health care professional for up-to-date information on health and travel alerts from the countries you are visiting. It is the responsibility of guests to ensure that they comply with all health and vaccination requirements and are adequately protected. Our mandate will ensure the crew is vaccinated, and only vaccinated guests will be welcomed on board. Please note should you be exempt from receiving a COVID-19 vaccination for any reason, please contact our customer services team to discuss. Robust protocols will be in place on board. The cruise line will also work closely with all destinations to adhere to local health guidelines and requirements. You can also access online information resources from the World Health Organisation website at www.who.int/vaccines-diseases and the Centres for Disease Control website at www.cdc. gov/travel. Useful up-to-date information is also available at www.mastatravel-health.com or www. nhs.uk/nhsengland/Healthcareabroad/pages/

Holiday and Ship Information We have endeavoured to provide as much essential information as space permits about the ship. However, please bear in mind that from time to time, certain facilities, activities, entertainment and shore excursions may be altered or withdrawn due to adverse weather conditions, lack of demand, essential maintenance work or other reasons beyond our control.
Itineraries
It should be noted that the cruise itineraries published are subject to amendment. Should major changes to the ports of call, other than timing adjustments or the order in which they are visited, become necessary, we shall endeavour to notify you in advance. Please note that in the event of adverse weather or sea conditions that prevent a vessel from calling at one of the scheduled ports of call, alternative arrangements will be made where possible. This is particularly pertinent to cruises around the waters of the British Isles. The order of visiting scheduled ports of call may also be varied due to congestion, tidal or other operational reasons. It should also be noted that the viewing of natural phenomena such as the Aurora Borealis is entirely dependent on favourable weather and/or atmospheric conditions at the time.
Medical Declarations
In the interest of your safety and wellbeing, you must be fit and healthy to take your cruise and all other travel arrangements that you book with us. Therefore, the Company must be advised at the time of booking
of any pre-existing medical condition and of any change to a guest’s condition that occurs between booking and the sailing date. Medical Declarations will be required by all guests including those who a) are pregnant or b) have a psychological or physical disability, including mobility limitations. Ambassador Cruise Line reserves the right in its absolute discretion to refuse boarding to persons who, in the opinion of the Company’s Medical Consultant, are unfit to undertake the cruise or who have failed to make full disclosure of the nature of their condition. Upon arrival at the embarkation port, you will also be required to complete a Health Questionnaire. If you have suffered from any viral symptoms such as diarrhoea, vomiting or flu-like symptoms within the 72 hours before sailing, you must immediately contact your GP and notify us providing details of the symptoms suffered. Based on the information you provide, if we reasonably feel that you are not fit to travel, we will not allow you to board. The Company regrets that it cannot accept bookings from guests who will be 28 weeks pregnant or more by the end of their cruise. Please note that a failure to disclose a specified medical condition may additionally invalidate your travel insurance.
Medical Services
The services of our qualified medical staff are available to you on board in the event of ‘mal de mer’ or an emergency. It should be noted that the NHS does not cover treatment on the ship and there is a scale of charges for surgery visits and medical treatment. Such charges, which are usually claimable under your travel insurance policy, less any excess amounts, must be paid in full before your final disembarkation. Seasickness tablets are available from Reception at a nominal charge.
Mobility and Special Assistances
If you or one of your travelling companions has a mobility limitation or require special assistance, you must contact our office to allow us to discuss your requirements before you make a booking. Firstly though, please read the panel headed ‘Maritime Passenger Rights’ within the Booking Conditions available on our website as this contains important information. In the interests of safety, and to ascertain whether you or members of the party travelling with you have specific mobility or other assistance needs, you will be asked a series of questions. Your answers will enable us to determine that you, any other person in your booking, and any equipment that you or they are intending to bring on board, can be carried safely for the duration of your cruise. This will then be confirmed in writing to you and will enable your booking to proceed. A cruise is quite unlike a land-based holiday and the ships of our fleet are not ideally suited to prospective guests in wheelchairs or those who have limited mobility. It should be noted that the layout of the ship could considerably restrict such guests’ movement around the vessel and indeed preclude access to some of the ports of call, where gangway conditions are not conducive, or guests are conveyed ashore by tender. At anchorage ports, access to or from the tenders or launches requires a certain level of mobility which is necessary to manage the steps to the tender platform and to physically board and disembark from the vessel. It should, therefore, be noted that, on safety grounds, those with restricted mobility may be unable to go ashore at such ports.
On Board Payments
All prices aboard Ambience are quoted in sterling. A cashless system is in operation for all of your onboard purchases. An account is opened for you at the start of your cruise for purchasing goods and services on board. All purchases are charged to your shipboard account and a final invoice is presented at the end of the cruise itemising all charges. This can be settled by MasterCard or Visa credit cards, or by Visa debit cards and, of course, cash. It is not possible to use personal cheques to settle onboard accounts. Please note that in payment of your onboard account, an extra charge may be levied by your issuing bank for using your credit/debit card. Please note that we accept Pre-Paid Credit Cards (showing the VISA or Mastercard symbol) on our vessels.
Passports
A passport is essential for all cruises, including mini-cruises and sailings around the British Isles and
Republic of Ireland, and all British Citizens must hold a full 10-year passport. Many countries, including most of those visited during the winter cruise programme, require visitors to hold passports that have at least six months’ validity beyond the return date of the cruise. It is the responsibility of holders of non-British passports to check with the relevant consular authorities of the countries to be visited to ascertain if there are any specific restrictions or requirements for their planned itinerary. Any guest arriving at the departure port without a passport, or with incorrect documentation, will not be allowed to embark. Such circumstances are not covered by insurance and no refund claims will be entertained.

Privacy Policy
Security
Information provided by you to us in connection with your holiday will be collected and held by us as a data controller in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation and our full data protection policy. In order to process your booking and to ensure that your travel arrangements can be properly performed, we need to collect certain personal details from you. These will include, where applicable, the names and addresses of party members, their passport and insurance details, credit/debit card or other payment details and (with your specific consent) special requirements such as those relating to any disability or medical condition which may affect the chosen holiday arrangements, and any dietary restrictions which may disclose your religious beliefs. We must pass on your personal details to the companies and organisations who need to know them so that your holiday can be provided (for example, your cruise operator, airline, hotels, credit/debit company or bank). The information may also be provided to public authorities, such as customs/immigration if required by them, or otherwise as required by law. If you fail to provide us with this information, we may not be able to plan or confirm your booking. We have appropriate security measures in place to protect the personal details you give us. You are entitled to ask us what details of yours are being held or processed, for what purpose and to whom they may be or have been disclosed; to delete, rectify or block the information we hold about you; to complete and restrict its use and to port it to another organisation. You have the right to object to the processing of your data in some circumstances and where we have asked for consent to process your data in ways additional to those listed above (for example, for marketing purposes), you may withdraw this consent.
Refreshment Facilities
Complimentary tea and coffee are available 24 hours a day from the relevant refreshment station. Outside of these times, you may purchase hot drinks and a range of speciality coffees from any of the ship’s bars.
Restaurant and Table Reservations
Whilst breakfasts and lunches are generally served in the restaurants on an open seating basis, two sittings with allocated seating are operated for dinner in the evening. On days at sea, these sittings are normally timed to commence from 18.00hrs and 20.15hrs and these timings may vary during port days. You should state any preferences for a particular dinner sitting and/or table size at the time of booking. Please note that requests for specific dining sittings and/or table sizes will be treated strictly on a ‘first-come, first-served’ basis and will be subject to availability. Whilst every effort will be made to accommodate preferences, no guarantee or confirmations can be given.
Safety on Board
Shortly before the ship sails, or if this is not possible within 24 hours of departure, a full safety drill will be held, and this compulsory exercise will give guests precise information of what to do and where to muster in the event of an emergency on board, as well as important instructions about life jackets and the emergency procedures in place. In the event of adverse weather or sea conditions, it is important to take extra care moving around the ship, making use of the handrails and heeding any special instructions given over the P.A. system. In certain sea conditions, use of the guest lifts may be suspended for the duration and outside cabins on the lower decks may have protective covers, known as deadlights, placed over their portholes.

For your complete security and peace of mind, there are stringent security measures in force, particularly at UK ports. All cabin baggage will be electronically screened, hand baggage may be examined, and you will be required to pass through an X-Ray arch before boarding the vessel. At embarkation, you will be issued with a personalised ID card which is used for gangway control purposes and validates you as a bona fide guest.
Shore Excursions
An attractive programme of optional excursions is offered at the majority of our ports of call. The exact content, pricing and full details of the programme and how to prebook will be communicated to you closer to your cruise departure, Availability permitting, you will also be able to book once aboard with our Shore Excursion Team, who will be pleased to assist you in selecting the excursions most suitable for your requirements.
Smoking Policy
Smoking is not permitted inside our ships. Designated areas for smokers are available externally in selected areas of the open decks. We reserve the right to alter our smoking policy during the cruising season and should new national or international maritime legislation subsequently affect this policy, guests will be informed on board accordingly. E-cigarettes or similar are only permitted to be used in designated smoking areas.
Special Diets
If you, or a member of your party, have a particular dietary requirement, we can offer the following dietary options: Gluten-Free, Lactose-Free, Low Cholesterol, Low Fat, Low Salt, Vegan and Vegetarian meals. If you have not done so at the time of booking, please advise any requirements no later than four weeks before departure. Pre-packed Kosher and Halal meals are available but only if requested at least eight weeks before sailing.
Technical Calls
A technical call, as highlighted by the * in the itinerary, is a short duration visit to a port that is made for a specific purpose only. Such reasons for scheduling a technical call include the taking on of freshwater or fuel oil or embarking or disembarking participants of an organised shore excursion that commences at one port and re-joins the vessel at another. Independent guests can’t go ashore during these brief technical calls.
Travel Insurance
It is a condition of booking that all guests hold fully comprehensive travel insurance cover that is valid for the entire duration of your cruise holiday and provides health cover for all pre-existing conditions and the costs of medical repatriations. It should also include Personal Luggage insurance since there is a limited liability for loss or damage.
Valuables
Each cabin has the use of a personal safe for your valuables and important papers. The Company is not responsible for any theft or loss of any items not kept in the safety boxes. The Company does not accept responsibility for loss or theft of cameras, video cameras, chargers and other valuable electrical items, which are your responsibility at all times.
Visas
It is a guest’s own responsibility to ensure that they hold the correct documentation to visit the countries shown on their chosen itinerary. Failure to have the correct documents prior to sailing will result in you being denied boarding. All cruises are subject to booking conditions and conditions of carriage; for full conditions please see our website newmarketholidays.co.uk
