Frequently Asked Questions
Ambassador Cruises departs from seven regional UK ports: Tilbury (London), Liverpool, Newcastle, Bristol, Dundee, Belfast and Falmouth, with selected sailings also departing from Portsmouth. The line is built around no-fly cruising for UK passengers, so you can start your holiday by car or train rather than at an airport.
Ambassador Cruises positions itself as primarily an adults-focused cruise line, but it is not strictly adults-only. Selected multi-generational sailings welcome families, and solo travellers are well catered for with dedicated solo cabins and accessible staterooms across the fleet.
Ambassador Cruises operates three ships: Ambience (1,400 passengers), Ambition (1,200 passengers) and Renaissance (1,100 passengers). All three sail no-fly itineraries from UK ports, with Renaissance also operating selected fly-cruise programmes such as Caribbean Fly Cruises.
