Introducing Ambassador Cruise Line

Introducing

Britain’s newest cruise line

There’s no doubt that 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.

And what better way to enjoy these wonderful new experiences than with Britain’s newest cruise holiday company, Ambassador Cruise Line, aboard delightful flagship Ambience, from London Tilbury, or her glittering fleet-mate Ambition, which will sail from Tilbury and a wide selection of UK ports from Spring 2023? Brought to you by a team with decades of experience of the UK cruise industry, and presented by Newmarket Holidays, who will celebrate their 40th Anniversary in 2023, these cruises aboard Ambience and Ambition will offer everything you need for enjoyable, fascinating and memorable holidays. These Ambassador Cruise Line sailings, whether to captivating destinations close to home, or to colourful, sun-kissed, farther-flung corners of the globe, will be hugely exciting, enjoyable adventures for those Newmarket Holidays’ customers who have enjoyed cruising from the UK in the past, and a delight for those who have yet to discover the wonderful joys of cruising. Ambience & Ambition – The Best of Traditions

Both these delightful vessels will offer premium-value cruise experiences, sailing from a range of UK ports and offering no-flying itineraries that combine friendly, welcoming, on-board service with fascinating ports of call. Carrying approximately 1,400 (Ambience) and up to 1,200 (Ambition) guests in comfortable cabins and suites, including many with private balcony, the ships will rekindle the on-board atmosphere previously enjoyed by Newmarket Holidays customers over many years. Wellappointed restaurants, welcoming cafés, lounges, swimming pool, spas, day and evening entertainment, and fitness and leisure facilities complemented by enticing enrichment and lifestyle programmes all contribute to the traditional experience aboard ship. Ex-UK no-flying Adult Only and Multi-Generational Cruising

Ambience and Ambition will mainly operate traditional cruises for adult passengers, ensuring that you can enjoy the pleasures of cruising with like-minded people. Although there are no facilities provided specifically for children on board the ships, we do accept bookings from teenagers aged 16 and over at the time of sailing, provided they are accompanied by adult passengers. A limited number of sailings are, however, designated as ‘Multi-Generational’ cruises, where all members of the family, of whatever age, are welcome to join the party.

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 life aboard. 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 Optional 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. Fascinating Guest Speakers

On longer cruises there are opportunities to attend light-hearted but absorbing lectures given by experts. These talks often cover nearby places of interest, as well as the bird, marine, or wildlife that you might expect to encounter. 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 both Ambience and Ambition, prior to commencing service, will be upgraded with emission reduction technologies to be fully International Marine Organisation Tier III compliant, well before the requirement comes into force in 2025. Tier III standards aim to reduce harmful nitrogen oxide emissions by 70 percent from the present Tier II level. In addition, Ambience and Ambition will have the latest ballast and sewage water treatment systems, enabling the vessels 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 waste reduction programmes will make the ships innovators in their class, when it comes to environmental best practice.
