About the trip
Ambassador Cruise Line’s Ambience sets out from London Tilbury for a short hop across the North Sea to Amsterdam, making this a rare and straightforward way to combine a weekend on the water with a stay in one of Europe's busiest ports. The ship itself is neat enough for a brief cruise, avoiding the overblown scale of some liners.
Amsterdam’s canals are, of course, its well-known calling card, and while the city is unlikely to feel restful, the chance to stroll amid 17th-century merchant houses and perhaps find the quieter Jordaan district is welcome. The return crossing leads back to Tilbury, which is better known for container ships than for cruise terminals, though its proximity to London means an easy start and finish.
