About the trip

The two-night cruise sets off from London Tilbury, heading into the North Sea towards Ijmuiden. From here, a short transfer leads to Amsterdam, where the canals and narrow gabled houses offer a cityscape that carries its history with a straightforward, unpretentious air. Not far from the port, you can glimpse the industrial edges of the city, reminding you this is a working port as much as a tourist magnet.

Back on board the Ambience, the pace is unhurried enough to enjoy watching the coastline slip by with time for a quiet drink on deck. After a night at sea, the ship returns to London Tilbury, arriving in time for disembarkation. This cruise is a brief introduction rather than an odyssey, the sort of short escape that suits those happy to trade lengthy itineraries for a moment of change and some Dutch atmosphere close to the capital.
