Highlights
Three nights aboard Ambassador's Ambition
Sail from Newcastle Tyne to Bristol Royal Portbury
Evening entertainment themed on pop versus rock music
Time in Newcastle with its river bridges and quays
Visit to Bristol's historic harbourside
Ambassador Cruise Line's three-night Battle of the Bands cruise sets off from Newcastle Tyne, a city with its own gritty charm and famously photogenic bridges, before heading down the west coast to Bristol Royal Portbury. The journey invites a modest change of scenery rather than a sprawling itinerary.
Journeys
The ship, Ambition, offers a compact way to spend a few days at sea with the added amusement of an ongoing musical rivalry between pop and rock tunes — a theme that adds some atmosphere beyond the usual background music. Docking in Bristol means access to the city's historic harbourside, once the domain of merchants and shipbuilders.
It’s a brief cruise that suits anyone not wanting to commit to lengthy travel but who fancies a break with some music-driven company. You’ll spend more time on board than on shore, which explains the short route and the focus on entertainment rather than sightseeing.
