This was our first Viking Cruise but we have been on may others. We heard Viking was very good and a good value, we would now agree. Our goal was to see the Northern Lights, I know they don't control that but even if we hadn't seen them ( which we did 5 nights) we would of been very happy witht the cruise. The ship was spotless and beautiful, the crew was friendly beyond belief. Everyone had a ...
We have just returned from a four day break on Ambition and had a wonderful time.
The staff at Ambassador head office advised us that our trip would be on the Ambition due to our originally booked ship, Ambiance, having maintenance difficulties. However our booking was changed to the Ambition without too many problems for us.
Ambition is definitely a smaller ship than Ambiance but she is ...
This 32 day Mediterranean cruise from 16th October to 17 November had an excellent itinerary and was the main reason why my wife and I booked it. At £5200 with the top drinks package, we thought it was very good value for money. We had an inside cabin on deck 10 which we were very happy with. At 190 square feet it was significantly larger than many other cruise lines. The sister ship to Ambience, ...
I had never even heard of Ambassador before stumbling upon The Grand Canada, Greenland and Iceland cruise. The destinations were the pull and I was ready to "put up with" a budget cruiseline and a very old ship to see them. I boarded with very low expectations and after 34 nights onboard I'm completely hooked! Nowhere at sea have I experienced an entire crew that really really do their utmost to ...
My review of the British Isles Discovery 10-Day Cruise on Ambience. 2-12 September 2023. First time cruising and having watched a lot of videos on YouTube reviewing various cruise lines and routes, we selected Ambassador and this cruise as a taster. Booked about a week in advance and the website seemed very intuitive and easy to understand/navigate. Avoided car parking fees by getting dropped off ...
As first time cruiser, I was skeptical of feeling herded like cattle. I reached out multiple times to customer service of Ambassador to ask a multitude of questions before the cruise. Not only were they incredible responsive and professional, but the service only got better once we boarded the ship. Our experience far exceeded our expectations. The ship was an ideal size and with 1,400 guests, ...
We were interested to sail round the UK and see some new places without worrying about stupid covid rules that other countries may impose. Everything about the cruise was excellent. Pick up and return home were prompt and easy, collection from home was a real plus. Boarding and disembarkation was efficient, as was luggage delivery. The basic cabin was absolutely fine with a good balcony. All ...
We chose the cruise for the music ,for the Port of Tilbury ,because it is based on the Cruise and Maritime blueprint , it was not expensive and therefore expectations are lower .
Embarkation was seamless ,organised and parking is literally by the ship .
The atmosphere on boarding was great ,the staff were helpful ,organised ,smiling , the other passengers were smiling and joking .
The ...
We chose this particular cruise for a variety of reasons. Firstly, being Adults only, which appealed to us to celebrate our Silver Wedding Anniversary. Secondly, the ease of going from Tilbury Docks. It was so easy to get to. Embarkation was completely hassle free. From arrival at Tilbury, dropping our case off, going through all security checks, staff polite and professional, to arriving on board ...
A fantastic value cruise from this company that has came from the ashes of the CMV company who alas did not survive Covid.
We booked a guaranteed inside cabin and were upgraded to an outside. The cabin was fine with loads of storage, fridge and large shower, was kept spotless by our steward.
Food was fantastic for the price point, we tried both specialty restaurants and they we excellent ...
