About the trip
This short cruise with Ambassador Cruise Line sets off from London Tilbury, heading east towards Antwerp for an overnight stay. Antwerp’s 16th-century squares and the towering Gothic cathedral give a strong sense of old Flemish wealth, while the winter markets add a mild festive bustle to the city’s thoroughfares.
The route includes a day spent cruising the River Scheldt, giving a slower-paced chance to take in riverside villages and industrial harbours without the rush of port calls. The Ambition is compact enough to thread the waterways with ease, so passengers can watch the narrowing channel from the deck without missing comfort.
Returning to London Tilbury after three nights, this cruise fits a festive break into a manageable time frame. The itinerary offers a straightforward introduction to Antwerp’s art and architecture with the bonus of cruising a significant European river, all from a ship that is far from the usual ocean liner crowd.
