Short Cruises & Mini-Breaks

Short Cruises & Mini-Breaks

Why We Love Short Cruises with Ambassador Cruises - Short cruises with Ambassador Cruises are a brilliant way to escape the everyday without needing a full-blown holiday. These sailings of five nights or less are ideal for a mini break at sea, and the destinations are anything but ordinary – think the cobbled streets of Honfleur, the art and canals of Amsterdam, or the medieval charm of Bruges. Even better, you can sail from a range of regional UK ports like London Tilbury, Newcastle, Dundee or Liverpool, so you’re never too far from your next adventure. It’s a great way to dip your toes into cruising, or just enjoy a few days of well-earned relaxation.

What It’s Like Cruising with Ambassador Cruise Line: Ambassador’s ships have a classic, friendly feel – more like a welcoming floating hotel than a flashy resort – and they’re adults-only on most sailings, which keeps things nice and relaxed. Onboard, you’ll find everything you need for a refreshing break: laid-back entertainment, afternoon teas, live music, and a good mix of bars and lounges to unwind in. There’s a real focus on great service and value, with full-board dining and a range of drinks packages available. Whether you’re taking in the sea views from the deck, catching a show in the theatre, or simply enjoying a quiet moment with a book, Ambassador makes it easy to switch off and enjoy.
