Ambassador Cruise Line has announced the launch of its 2023/24 programme, which will see Ambience return for its second season and Ambition take to the sea for the first time.

Ambition will set sail on its inaugural season on 4 March 2023 and together the two ships will visit six continents and 58 countries, calling at 165 ports.

Ambassador also confirmed that commission is now payable on the entire Ambassador fare.

The line revealed that Ambience will operate a new 120-night Grand Round the World Cruise, Ambassador’s longest itinerary to date.

Meanwhile, Ambition will depart from Ambassador’s homeport of London Tilbury and six new regional UK ports – Newcastle, Dundee, Liverpool, Belfast, Bristol and Falmouth.

It will offer 49 sailings in total, including a six-night maiden voyage visiting Norway, Denmark and Sweden, as well as a 38-night Christmas & New Year in the West Indies & Dutch Antilles cruise.

As part of a series of launch offers, guests can save up to 25 per cent on full fares, while the line is also offering a five per cent group discount on selected sailings.
