About the trip
This five-night cruise on Ambassador Cruise Line’s Ambience sets out from London Tilbury, crossing the Channel to Honfleur, a Normandy port known for its old harbour and faded charm. The town’s cobbled streets and market stalls dress up for Christmas in a low-key way, a quieter start to the festive season.
Next comes Ijmuiden, a Dutch port not far from Amsterdam, where the ship often docks to allow passengers access to the Dutch capital without the bustle of its main cruise terminals. Amsterdam’s canals tend to freeze only in paintings, but the Christmas markets and twinkling lights have their own appeal in the chilly air.
