First time for us to embark at Tilbury and all went well. Far less busy and frantic than Southampton but well organised nonetheless. Ambience is an older , smaller ship but the communal areas around the ship are well cared for clean. We were assured on booking we could have a table for 4 (there were 3 of us dining ) but when we arrived at the dining room,we were out on a table of 6. This alone would stop me using Ambience again! Obviously the people we had to share with felt the same as we didn't see them again after the first night, we just ate at a very unbalanced table but we're afraid toove in case our sharers turned up! Service was always speedy in the dining room, too speedy on times with my husband's plate being whipped away while his fork was still in his mouth but in Borough Market tables were always cleared promptly. Food could be a bit hit and miss but on the whole good to very good quality. Since this was a weekend break we decided to try an inside cabin, plenty of storage and space was o. k but the air con was a real issue ,not just for us but many on the cruise, another reason I would think twice before using Ambassador again. If you were expecting pillow chocolate and towel animals you don't get them on inside cabins , which made us feel like second class citizens. All in all I might cruise with Ambassador again but only if the price was really good for a balcony cabin and they reviewed their policy for table sharing.

A vibrant municipality in Portugal, Praia da Vitoria is your gateway to the picturesque Azores archipelago, with breathtaking scenery in abundance alongside a charming historic town centre – in which you’ll find fantastic cafes and restaurants, boutique shopping experiences, and more to enjoy. This coastal town also enjoys a stunning pale-sand beach, which is quite rare in the Azores, making it an ideal place for lounging around in the subtropical sunshine. While here, you’ll also have the opportunity to venture to the other side of the island and visit the historic Angra do Heroísmo, the island’s oldest city and somewhere where an incredibly authentic experience awaits. The 16th century cathedral here is among the landmarks you’ll have the chance to see when you visit, alongside enjoying some of the flavourful local foods and soaking in the incredible atmosphere here. With breathtaking natural beauty everywhere you look, and excursions involving whale-watching and water sports always an option, there’s so much to look forward to when you dock in Praia da Vitoria.
Located in Angra do Heroísmo, Forte de São Sebastião was constructed as a demonstration of new coastal defence ideas in 1580 at the suggestion of architect Tomaz Benedito de Pesaro. The first major maritime fortification built in the city, it actually crosses fire with Fortress of São João Baptista, providing effective defence of Porto das Pipas (Pipas Port) – a vital seaport and anchorage for transit ships heading from destinations like India and Brazil to the Kingdom of Portugal.
Cathedral of Angra do Heroísmo
An impressive 16th century cathedral in Angra do Heroísmo, the Cathedral of Angra do Heroísmo is the largest religious institution in the archipelago and a stand-out landmark in the city today. Boasting a simple Portuguese Chã design with twin bell towers, parts of the cathedral were reconstructed following the 1980 earthquake. Interestingly, due to a lack of space when construction began, the church is orientated northwards, and not eastwards as was the tradition for medieval religious buildings.
Praia da Riviera
A stunning sandy beach in Praia da Vitoria, Riviera Beach is the perfect place to soak up the sunshine and enjoy the warm weather of the Azores when you arrive. A stone’s throw from central Praia da Vitoria with easy access to the other beaches in the area, you’ll never be too far away from something exciting – or somewhere even more serene.
