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.

Dining

Dining with Ambassador is always tailored to you but exceptional service, authentic flavors 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!

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 specialty 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.

Entertainment

Entertainment venues include the multi-tiered The Palladium where the talented Show Team and guest artists will entertain you. The stylish Observatory plays host to cabarets and the late-night disco. In addition, there are various entertainment options around the ship including our classical interludes.
