Ambition Cruise Ship
Introducing Ambition
2023 brought a new ship to the scene! Ambassador has added a second vessel to their fleet. Ambition, the sister ship to Ambience.
Guests have the opportunity to enjoy premium-value, authentic trips on board this beautifully designed ship, featuring 680 cabins, including 113 suites with up to 62 square meters of living space.
Ambition's dining options include two main restaurants, speciality dining options*, and a more casual bistro-style café. Sit back, relax and enjoy a drink in one of her four bars, lounges and pub. Or take in a show in the tiered main theatre, or discover your hidden talents in the card room, library, and craft studio.
Other facilities include the wellness centre, gym, two swimming pools and a range of retail shops, perfect for days at sea.
With departure ports all across the UK, including Liverpool, Bristol, Newcastle, Dundee, Belfast, and Falmouth, you can set sail even closer to home.
For environmentally-conscious travellers, the vessel is equipped with modern emission reduction technologies, ensuring responsible navigation in environmentally protected waters.
