About the trip
This five-night cruise aboard Ambassador Cruise Line's Ambience leaves from London Tilbury and sails to Bremerhaven, a northern German port known more for its industrial docks than tourist crowds. Next is Ijmuiden, the gateway to Amsterdam, where canals, narrow houses and an assortment of cyclists promise a stroll or boat trip beyond the usual tourist snapshots.
The ship then crosses to Zeebrugge, the seaport for Bruges. A day ashore offers a chance to walk past medieval streets and step inside places full of Flemish art and history. The itinerary returns via the North Sea, finishing where it started in London Tilbury. Ambience carries a seasonal crowd with a particular fondness for cricket legends, making this a quietly unusual festive cruise on a ship modest in size and pace.
