I was recently invited to tour Ambassador Cruise Line’s Ambition ship. So many of our customers love Ambassador, so I jumped at the chance to gain first-hand experience and see for myself exactly what this ship has to offer.
We were lucky to visit Ambition while she was docked in Bristol’s Royal Portbury. This is one of the 8 ports that Ambassador sails from, and it’s a convenient and accessible choice for our customers in the South-West. The journey from Taunton took us under an hour so it’s a great local option for a no-fly holiday!
Onboard the ship, I was impressed with the facilities and the relaxed and welcoming atmosphere. Ambassador is known for having the ‘warmest welcome at sea’ and I can definitely vouch for this - all the staff were super friendly and attentive!
We were given a guided tour of the ship and the facilities were brilliant. I particularly loved the HUGE Green Sea Spa aboard Ambition. The spa’s gym, relaxation room, sauna and steam room are all free for guests to enjoy while on board. There’s also a beauty salon and individual treatment rooms if you want to upgrade your experience.
Elsewhere on the ship, there’s a fantastic theatre as well as an outdoor swimming pool and sun deck. There’s also a great selection of cabin options, including a generous number of single cabins which are ideal for solo travellers looking to cruise in comfort.
There’s a good choice of dining venues as well as bars and lounges on Ambition - including two speciality restaurants and a Chef’s Table, which would be great if you’re celebrating a special occasion.
We were treated to lunch during our visit and sampled dishes from a few of the restaurants. As a vegan, I was so happy to see there were plenty of options for me to enjoy!
I was impressed with the offering onboard Ambition and would highly recommend this cruise line – whether you’re a seasoned traveller or you’re new to cruising. As a smaller, mid-size ship (with a maximum of 1,200 passengers) it’s also a great choice if you want a more intimate and personal experience.
If you are interested in booking your own trip or finding out more, I’d love to hear from you. Please pop into the Taunton store and I’d love to help you plan your dream holiday!
