Ambience

Overview


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.


Ambassador Cruise Line is passionate about protecting our oceans and destinations, which is why their ships will exceed the latest environmental standards, including no single-use plastic on board and energy-efficient engines. They invite you to join them on their journey to a more sustainable industry with some of the most environmentally ships afloat.

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.

Entertainment-wise, she really will spoil you for choice. Let your hair down at the Observatory and bring out your finest ensembles for The Palladium. Whether you like it shaken or stirred, she has numerous bars to whet your whistle, including Raffles Bar, Botanical Lounge, SW19 and The Purple Turtle Pub.

Dining options are plentiful at our Buckingham restaurant or the Borough Market, with plentiful cuisine options, and for those wanting to soak in nature’s glory, we have our glorious Alfresco Grill. Wining and dining are more than fine at Saffron*, Sea & Grass* or our deluxe Chef’s Table*, where we offer a speciality gastronomic experience that’s not to be missed.

Put your best cards forward at Aces & Eights bridge and card room and the Ambassador Casino, or revive and renew at the gym and Wellness Centre. Other facilities include Kapoor’s, our onboard crafting studio, Brontë’s library, the shopping galleria, not to mention a swimming pool, two hot tubs and a large screen for outdoor movies. Sound good?

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. 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.

Our dedicated housekeeping team clean cabins once a day with an evening turn down service. We’ve also got you covered whatever the weather with your own umbrella to use on shore as well as a pair of binoculars to help you see as far as your heart desires and a world atlas.
