About the trip

This fifteen-night cruise on Ambassador Cruise Line’s Ambition begins at London Tilbury before heading north to Alesund, known for its Art Nouveau architecture and a vantage point on Mount Aksla that reveals geometric rooftops and fjord waters alike. From there, the ship calls at Trondheim, where the 12th-century Nidaros Cathedral marks a rare medieval moment in a modern city.

The route pushes further into the Arctic Circle with visits to Tromso and Alta, well-placed for Northern Lights sightings when the skies cooperate. Tromso’s compact centre and the views from its cable car offer more than the usual Arctic port fare, while Alta is home to ancient rock carvings reflecting the region’s long human history. Narvik and Bodo follow before the ship rounds off the northern section with a day cruising the Geirangerfjord, the deep fjord ringed by waterfalls and steep cliff faces.

The cruise closes back at London Tilbury. Ambition is a modest ship, easy to move around and quiet enough to enjoy the passage without the buzz of a larger liner. The northbound itinerary promises long daylight hours for taking in the coast, with the Northern Lights a tentative possibility once evening falls.
