Highlights
Call at Vigo near Santiago de Compostela’s cathedral
Two nights in Funchal, Madeira’s harbour city
Visits to Santa Cruz de La Palma and Santa Cruz de Tenerife
Port call at Arrecife, Lanzarote’s capital
Fourteen-night round trip from London Tilbury
Ambassador Cruise Line's Ambition sets off from London Tilbury for a fourteen-night cruise that begins with a call at Vigo, the gateway to Galicia and near Santiago de Compostela, famed for its cathedral and pilgrimage trail. Next is Funchal, Madeira’s capital, where the harbour is backed by a terraced hillside dotted with wine lodges and botanical gardens.
Journeys

The route then turns south across the Canaries, touching Santa Cruz de La Palma and Santa Cruz de Tenerife, each with their distinct colonial architecture and volcanic backdrops. Finally, there is Arrecife on Lanzarote, an island noted for its lava fields and whitewashed villages, before the ship returns to London.
Ambition is smart rather than showy, with enough space on deck to appreciate the Atlantic approach and time in port to wander. There’s no rush to cross the ocean here, but long enough to feel the change in light and landscape before returning to the Thames.
