About the trip
Ambassador Cruise Line’s Ambition leaves Newcastle for a gentle seven-night cruise that begins with a call at Lysekil, a small Swedish harbour centre overlooking the Skagerrak strait. It’s a place where fishing boats and marinas coexist with industrial yards and granite quarries, making for a landscape that’s less postcard and more authentic.
Next up are two full days in Copenhagen, where the city’s cycle-friendly streets and landmark harbourfront cast an approachable mood. Walking past the Opera House or past Nyhavn’s brightly painted eighteenth-century houses, there’s a straightforwardness to the city’s charm. Following Copenhagen, the ship heads to Skagen, a fishing town at Denmark’s northern point, known for where the Baltic and North Seas meet. The long beaches there speak of quiet afternoons rather than bustling tourist crowds.
