Cruise · 12 nights · with Ambassador Cruise Line
Twelve nights aboard Ambassador Cruise Line’s Ambition visiting France’s maritime cities from Brest to Honfleur, with a start and finish in Belfast and a call in Liverpool on the way back.
Highlights
Two days alongside in Bordeaux
Visit to Brest’s naval harbour and coastline
Stops in Normandy ports Cherbourg and Honfleur
Call at Liverpool’s waterfront
Start and finish in Belfast
This twelve-night cruise on Ambassador’s Ambition begins and ends in Belfast, tracing a route through the west of France and a brief stop in Liverpool. Brest, at the edge of Brittany, provides rugged coastal views and naval history, a reminder that this is a part of France shaped by the sea.
Journeys

Two days in Bordeaux give ample time to wander among the grand 18th-century architecture, or perhaps seek out the lively riverfront cafés. Cherbourg follows, a gateway to Normandy and a reminder of transatlantic crossings, before Honfleur’s timber-framed houses sit quietly alongside the estuary – a town small enough to explore by strolling its cobbled streets without a tour bus in sight.
Liverpool interrupts the French itinerary with its unmistakable waterfront and story of maritime trade, before Ambition returns once again to Belfast. The route stretches a little further than some, but there are no long overnights at sea here, which keeps the pace measured rather than rushed.
