About the trip
This brief hop aboard Ambassador Cruise Line’s Ambience sets off from London Tilbury, heading across the North Sea to Ijmuiden, the maritime gateway to Amsterdam. From here, the city’s canals and museums are just a short trip away; a well-trodden route but no less absorbing for it. Amsterdam’s compact centre means each visit offers fresh angles, whether it’s the mix of gabled houses or the slow drip of activity along the water.
Next comes Zeebrugge, the Belgian port for Bruges. Not exactly hidden, Bruges still charms with its medieval streets and the occasional silent horse-drawn carriage giving a nod to a slower pace of life. It’s easy enough to stroll past the Belfry or linger by the Markt, where the spire catches the light late in the afternoon.
