Cruise · 7 nights · with Ambassador Cruise Line
A seven-night cruise from London Tilbury with Ambassador Cruise Line’s Ambition featuring festive markets in Lysekil, Copenhagen and Oslo, plus a gentle cruise through the Oslofjord over Christmas.
Highlights
Christmas market stalls in Lysekil
Nyhavn harbour at Copenhagen in December
Oslo’s waterfront Christmas market
Cruise through the Oslofjord
Seven-night roundtrip from London Tilbury
This Christmas Markets Cruise aboard Ambassador Cruise Line’s Ambition sets off from London Tilbury and sails to Lysekil on Sweden’s west coast, a small fishing town where the chilly air carries the smell of pine and salt. The pace is unhurried, allowing mornings for browsing seasonal stalls without the usual tourist crowds.
Journeys

Next stops are two capital cities. Copenhagen’s historic Nyhavn harbour lights up with wooden chalets and mulled wine, while Oslo offers a Scandinavian approach to Christmas markets, with the backdrop of the waterfront and the large Vigeland sculpture park nearby. The cruise includes a scenic passage through the Oslofjord, a fjord flanked by forested hills and small islands.
The ship returns to London Tilbury after a week with time enough to appreciate northern Europe’s coastal and urban contrasts at a gentler rhythm than a city hop might allow. Not a flash voyage but one attentive to the slower pleasures of a December cruise.
