Cruise · 42 nights · with Ambassador Cruise Line
A six-week circumnavigation commencing and ending at London Tilbury, sailing Ambassador’s Ambience through Portugal, the Caribbean’s varied islands and mainland Americas before returning via Lisbon.
Highlights
Overnight in Leixoes for Oporto’s port and wine cellars
Ponta Delgada’s volcanic scenery in the Azores
Colonial streets of Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic
Island hopping among Caribbean territories and nations
Two stops in the Azores, including Horta
Ambassador Cruise Line’s Ambience sets out from London Tilbury for a 42-night voyage that begins with a brief call at Leixoes, the port for Oporto’s old town and famous wines. The ship then crosses the Atlantic, entering the Azores archipelago at Ponta Delgada, where the volcanic landscape invites a different kind of island pace.
Journeys
From there, the itinerary sweeps through the eastern Caribbean, calling at places like St. John’s in Antigua, Philipsburg on Sint Maarten, and Road Town in the British Virgin Islands. Santo Domingo offers a touch of Caribbean city life with its colonial spine and bustling streets, before Montego Bay and George Town add a mix of Jamaican rhythms and Cayman Islands’ low-rise charm. The next days see crossings among Dutch Caribbean outposts Aruba and Bonaire, then Guadeloupe, Saint Lucia, and Barbados, each with their own island character.
After the Caribbean, Ambience heads north-west to Horta in the Azores again, before finishing back in Lisbon and returning to London Tilbury. This is a thoughtfully paced route that balances sea days with frequent, varied stops — a reminder of how much the Atlantic links very different shores, without the rush expected on shorter cruises.
