Superb cruise from embarkation to leaving. Everyone was friendly and helpful which was great as I walk with a rollator and we had dreadful weather with rough seas so much so that the itinerary was changed. The crew were exceptionally always smiling and genuinely seemed content with their lot even though they worked tirelessly to make sure everyone was happy. The entertainment was very good. Would recommend to anyone who is travelling solo.

Having been on a number of very good cruises with Ambassador we found our latest cruise disappointing. The company cannot be blamed for the very poor wet weatherand that the itiniary had to be changed a few times.
What it can be hel to account for is that the heating in the dining room and the theatres were postively cold and that is unacceptable. The TV in the cabin is very limited and there is no sports channel. Sport is a part of modern life and for 3 weeks we were cut off form the sporting world.
On the plus side the food is a good as any line we have been on and the serviceand staff on Ambassador are attentivlely top class

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.
