British cruise line, Ambassador, reinforced its intentions by adding Ambition cruise ship to its existing sister vessel, ‘Ambience’ in March 2023…
With a target audience of a more affluent 50+ passenger clientele, the 1,200-carrying vessel offers no-fly sailings from Tilbury, Essex, as well as offering regional departures from the Port of Tyne, Belfast, Bristol, Dundee, Falmouth and Liverpool.
Those with a keen eye on the cruise line industry will recall Ambition previously sailing under the guise of AidaMira until its recent acquisition and refurbishment by the Ambassador cruise line.
The ship is capable of carrying 1,200 passengers and a 500 strong crew. An impressive 714 cabins boast 125 balconies of which 113 offer up to 62m² of living space.
Ambassador CEO, Christian Verhounig said:
We are particularly excited to be offering regional departure options for Ambition in 2023, whilst also offering guests who travel from London Tilbury a greater choice of sailings and ships on which to enjoy them.
