Fifteen nights aboard Ambassador’s Ambition between Dundee and Iberia, taking in Bordeaux’s vineyards, Galicia’s pilgrimage city, Gibraltar’s rock and the Atlantic coast of southern Spain and Portugal.
Highlights
Two days alongside in Bordeaux’s port of Le Verdon
Visit to Santiago de Compostela from Vigo
Passing Gibraltar and its famous rock
Calls at Malaga and Cadiz on Spain’s southern coast
Stop at Leixoes for Porto and its port wine lodges
This cruise begins and ends in Dundee, an increasingly popular Scottish port that’s often overlooked. From there, Ambition heads south to Le Verdon, the gateway to Bordeaux’s vineyards, where the city’s stone quays and wine trade firmly root its status as a UNESCO site.
Journeys

Next is Vigo, a Galician port close to Santiago de Compostela, one of Europe’s oldest pilgrimage destinations. The route then rounds the southern tip of Iberia at Gibraltar—home to a famously cheeky macaque population—before calling at Malaga and Cadiz, cities with distinct Andalusian flavour and a slow Atlantic rhythm.
The final days bring a stop at Leixoes port, which serves Porto, north Portugal’s riverside city famed for its port wine lodges. Ambassador Cruise Line’s Ambition is a modern vessel capable of turning in a fjord, lending a calm and unhurried passage along this varied coast. Returning to Dundee, the cruise offers a chance to see how the journey’s southerly heat compares with Scotland’s north-eastern shores.
