Why Book
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.
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?
Food & Drink
Dining with Ambassador is always tailored to you but exceptional service, authentic flavours and cherry-on-top surroundings are guaranteed each and every meal. So, whether it’s a full English for breakfast, a casual lunch, or a six-course gala dinner, your dining wish is our desire!
One of life’s simplest pleasures is coming together over great food, which, of course, gets better when you’re breathing in the sea breeze in between bites. We’ve carefully crafted menus to blend traditional plates with locally inspired cuisine, letting our dish choices be crafted by the itineraries themselves - giving you a taste of the finer things in life.
We’ve got venues for every mood, from quaint and traditional afternoon high teas to decadent gala dinners alongside your Captain. Why not expand your taste buds at our VIP Chef’s Table* for a glittering gastronomic experience, enjoy a taste sensation at speciality restaurants, Saffron* (offering Indian fusion cuisine) or Sea & Grass* (premium steak and grills), or watch the world go by peacefully at our Alfresco Grill?
Breakfast and lunch are generally served on an open seating basis, giving you and your appetite plenty of choice. With dinner, we operate two sittings, which can be requested when booking your cruise. We cater for all, so if you have any dietary requirements, then just let us know in advance.
