Historic naval port of Plymouth
Cherbourg’s wartime harbour and town
London Tilbury as start and end point

Journeys

From Ireland, the itinerary veers south to St Mary’s in the Isles of Scilly. This group of islands lies closer to Cornwall than mainland Britain yet retains a distinct character, with turf roofs and a network of peaceful lanes. After crossing back to Plymouth, an old naval town with a certain no-nonsense appeal, the ship sails to Cherbourg. The town’s harbour and wartime stories provide an atmospheric final foreign stop.
Ambience is a moderately sized ship on a route that combines well-spaced calls with some solid stretches at sea. The return to London Tilbury completes a cruise that offers more than the usual Channel crossings. The pace allows time to settle in without filling every hour.
