About the trip

This five-night coastal cruise with Ambassador Cruise Line sets off from London Tilbury before stopping at Zeebrugge, the usual gateway to Bruges with its medieval streets and quiet canals. Next comes Rotterdam, where the Ambience takes time to cruise the Nieuwe Maas river, weaving through one of Europe’s biggest ports and some of the city’s more modern architecture.

The final call before returning to London is Ijmuiden, one of Amsterdam’s main sea ports and a short journey from the Dutch capital’s famous ring of canals, museums and markets. The Ambience is a small, modern ship meant for relaxed travel rather than high party spirits. There is nothing rushed about this itinerary, which offers a relatively gentle look at two countries that put a good share of their life on the water.

It begins and ends in London, which means the crossing itself is brief—a reminder that this is coastal rather than ocean cruising, and allows more time on land. Plenty to note down if the idea of Flemish art and Dutch waterways sounds like a fortnight well spent.
