About the trip

This brief cruise with Ambassador Cruise Line travels from Portsmouth across the Channel to Zeebrugge, the gateway port for Bruges. From there, it’s possible to reach the medieval canals and stepped gables of Bruges, notable for its quiet streets and well-preserved architecture rather than crowds.

The Ambition then crosses to Honfleur on France’s Normandy coast, a small port known for its old harbour lined with slate-roofed houses and a history linked to Impressionist painters. The quay is compact enough that you’ll find cafés and galleries within easy reach of the ship.

After two nights away, the Ambition returns to Portsmouth. This brief trip offers a laid-back introduction to North Sea and Channel cruising with ports close enough for straightforward excursions, all on a ship sized to slip easily alongside these historic docks.
