About Ambience

Here she is, our flagship of the fleet, our first lady of the sea: Ambience. Derived from the French word for ‘surrounding’, our ambition at Ambassador is to create the optimum atmosphere onboard; one that brings out the best in each of us. The perfect ambience.

With an average 1,400-guest capacity and careful configuration, she offers both a feeling of spaciousness and freedom, whilst retaining that sense of intimacy and camaraderie we each crave; it’s whatever makes you comfortable.

Accommodation

Your home-from-home, your humble abode on board, your cabin accommodation is where we want you to feel most comfortable. This is your restful haven that you can look forward to returning to after an exciting day ashore or a busy day at sea, where you can escape and rejuvenate during your trip.

We offer a range of cabins spanning seven accommodation decks from the Aloe deck 4 up to the Ambassador deck 11. We have 20 twin and single cabin categories to suit a wide range of preferences and pockets. Our cabins are more spacious to cater to today’s climate, averaging 17-18 square meters, with cabin types broadly classified as standard, superior, premium or de-luxe. Our dedicated housekeeping team clean cabins once a day and provide 24-hour room service at a supplementary cost. All our cabins are air-conditioned with en-suite facilities including a shower and ample storage space with room under the beds to store suitcases. Most suites also have a bathtub.

All cabins have a range of impressive amenities and personal touches. Make yourself at home with tea and coffee making facilities and a fridge, and take advantage of the hair dryer, personal safe, UK three pin electrical sockets and USB ports. There is also a flat screen TV for all your entertainment needs. So why not sit back and watch the ship position and routing from the comfort of your own cabin? Please note, TV reception is subject to weather conditions and the geographic location of the ship.

With the exception of Aloe deck 4, which has 14 cabins with one lower and one upper berth, all cabins are of twin lower bed configuration (some with fold-away upper pullman berths or sofa beds) and in most cases can be converted to double beds.

Navigating your way to and from your cabin is easy, with three spacious main foyer areas on all decks (except Aloe deck 4) serviced by 9 lifts and stairways. Aloe deck 4 has two foyers serviced by 6 lifts.

There are 13 cabins adapted for guests with disability and mobility needs and 40 cabins with interconnecting doors, both highlighted below and on the deck plan.
