Cruise · 2 nights · with Ambassador Cruise Line
A two-night festive cruise from London Tilbury to Amsterdam and back aboard Ambassador Cruise Line’s Ambience, combining a brisk northern crossing with the city's winter markets and canals.
Highlights
Two nights aboard Ambience
Overnight stay in Amsterdam
Crossing the North Sea from London Tilbury
Amsterdam’s winter markets and canals
Ambassador Cruise Line’s Ambience sets off from London Tilbury for a brief escape across the North Sea to Amsterdam. The city’s winter offerings include markets framed by historic gabled houses and canals often dusted with early December frost. There is just enough time for a turn around the museums or perhaps a slow walk near the Central Station.
After a night in port, the return to London Tilbury completes the two-night trip. The pace suits those who don’t want to spend a full week at sea or ashore but appreciate the chance to break the routine with something a little different. The Ambience is a ship built for this kind of brief, straightforward itinerary rather than lavish indulgence.
Journeys

The crossing involves an early start from London with the North Sea stretching ahead and the chance to watch the shipping traffic near the Thames estuary. The trip ends with the familiar sight of Tilbury’s docks making landfall feel quite local despite the short hops to the continent in between.
