Journeys

This nine-night cruise on Ambassador Cruise Line’s Ambition begins and ends in Belfast, making for a neat circuit of the nearby coasts. It heads west first, calling in Liverpool, a city that balances nineteenth-century docks and modern cultural quarters. Crossing the Channel, the voyage visits Cherbourg and St. Malo, the latter known for its stone ramparts and medieval streets.
The ship then calls at Brest on Brittany’s wild western tip before turning south-west to the Isles of Scilly. Here, St. Mary’s offers calm waters that contrast neatly with the mainland’s bustle, and the feeling is almost that of stepping back a little in time. After Scilly comes Ringaskiddy, near Cork, a port with river views and a gateway to southern Irish towns.
The pacing allows time for easy strolls by harbour walls or a quiet café stop rather than a rush through major sights. The Ambition is sized to slip comfortably into smaller ports, which adds to the trip’s appeal. After this loop of coastal ports and islands, the ship returns to Belfast, rounding off a varied itinerary that mixes northern city energy with quiet island moments.
