Ambassador Cruise Line

From: European Cruise Guide

ABOVE: Ambassador Cruise Line's first ship, Ambience, is the former Regal Princess and Pacific Dawn.

Ambassador Cruise Line is a relatively new UK-based operator that specializes in "no-fly" itineraries from London Tilbury and seven other ports in the UK. European cruise destinations include the British Isles, Ireland, Scandinavia, and the Mediterranean.

The line has two ships: Ambience, with a capacity of 1,400 passengers, and Ambition, which carries up to 1,200 guests.

Both vessels cater primarily to passengers over 50, although Ambassador bills itself as being "age-inclusive" and offers multigenerational programs during the summer months.
