12 Nights Classic French Escapes: Bordeaux, Brest, Cherbourg & Honfleur

Ambition

INTRODUCING OUR CRUISE SHIP “AMBITION”

Our second lady of the sea is aptly named Ambition. We chose to call her this to emphasise our commitment to pioneer a new era of cruising in which guests can enjoy an authentic experience – effortlessly and sustainably. Offering the warmest of welcomes and a 1,200-guest capacity, there’s a unique sense of intimacy aboard this smaller ship, carefully configured to cater for all your moods at sea.

Bringing nightlife to life

When unwinding is on your agenda, kick back in one of our lounges. We have the timeless Cavern offering live cabaret, gameshows and light entertainment and the stylish cocktail Clifton Lounge serving all your favourite tipples; meanwhile, the Pool Bar and Consulate Bar are perfectly positioned for you to soak up the rays. And for all your pre- and post-theatre moments, we have the elegant Pendennis Bar, the Purple Turtle Wine Bar and the Angel Bar overlooking reception.

Speaking of theatre, we have an exciting entertainment programme at The Palladium – ready to whisk you away to new worlds full of song, dance, comedy and wonderful storytelling with the Ambassador Theatre Show Company. There’s also Grafton Street, our arts, crafts and activity area, No.10 Conference Room (perfect for meetings), Aces & Eights (ideal for many a hand of cards), Brontë’s library, the shopping galleria, fitness centre, an exterior jogging and walking track, swimming pool and active pool. And to extend that feeling of rejuvenation, we have our Green Sea Spa, offering a sauna, steam room, hair salon and a range of restoring spa treatments. 

Delightful dishes every day

Dining options will pamper your palate, especially at Buckingham Restaurant and Holyrood, our two main dining rooms. We also have Borough Market, our more casual dining choice, with delicious and ever-changing delicacies from around the world. For those wanting to give their tastebuds an extra tingle, we have our speciality restaurants Saffron* and Lupino's*, offering outstanding gastronomic experiences.

Unbeatable value

We believe quality shouldn't have to come at a high price.

As the name of our flagship of the fleet suggests, creating the optimum ambience for enjoyment on board is something that is in our DNA. Our ongoing aim when designing our ships and voyages is to create environments that facilitate sailings for everyone, including groups or families, ensuring comfort, relaxation, and enjoyment for all. We want to bring friends and guests even closer together, with opportunities to learn something new about ourselves, and each other. Through careful configuration, our ships offer both a feeling of spaciousness and freedom, whilst retaining that sense of intimacy and camaraderie we each crave - perfect for group excursions. So whether you’re a member of a club, society, business, or even an extended group of family or friends of at least 15 adults celebrating a special occasion, we believe that we can make your group holiday experience one to remember.

These are cruises that depart directly from Belfast Cruise Terminal, not ships simply passing through, so your holiday starts the moment you reach the quayside just four miles from the city centre.
