About the trip
Ambassador Cruise Line’s Ambition offers a short festive cruise that sets out from London Tilbury and heads to Ijmuiden, the port serving Amsterdam. The city’s canals and staging area for some of Europe’s larger Christmas markets contrast with the ship’s small scale, a reminder that this is a peaceful introduction to a seasonal trip.
From Amsterdam, the ship crosses the southern North Sea to Zeebrugge, which serves Bruges—noted for its medieval streets and the local markets where artisans sell handmade goods and seasonal snacks. It’s an easy train trip or coach drive from the port to the old town, where the square fills with wooden chalets, mulled wine and cider scents, and soft lights.
