About the trip

Ambassador Cruise Line’s Ambition sets off from Portsmouth, a port with a naval history that extends from Nelson’s days to the present. The ship cuts a neat figure as it heads north along the English coast, where cliffs, harbours and fishing villages slide by.

After a couple of days aboard, the cruise draws to a close at Newcastle upon Tyne. The city’s striking Quayside, a nearly three-mile stretch of bridges and converted warehouses, is a reminder of its industrial past, now enlivened by cafés and galleries. Newcastle’s compact centre makes for an easy wander, while the river views from the ship are quietly rewarding.

This short cruise on the Ambition doesn’t rush and doesn’t crowd. It offers a sensible way to try out coastal cruising without hauling your suitcase too far from home, or diving straight into something longer or more ambitious.
