About the trip
Ambassador Cruise Line’s Ambition sets off from London Tilbury for eleven nights that offer a rather broad sweep of the British Isles and a dip into Normandy. The first stop is Honfleur, a French port known for its 17th-century wooden houses standing shoulder to shoulder along the old harbour. A few days later come visits to Cobh, gateway to Cork with its graceful Victorian architecture, and the windswept Outer Hebrides, calling first at Stornoway and then the Isle of Lewis, where the ancient standing stones at Callanish hint at a long history.
