        Just a short train journey from the heart of bustling London, Tilbury offers the best sights of the city as well as attractions local to the cruise port. Explore Tilbury Fort which played a vital role in the battle against the Spanish Armada, and discover the 1127 Rochester Castle which plays host to numerous events and markets throughout the year. Finally, for a unique sightseeing tour, take a short ferry ride from Tilbury to Gravesend.

        Ijmuiden (tours to Amsterdam)

        A port city that acts as a fantastic gateway destination to Amsterdam, Ijmuiden has a lot more to offer than you might think. With wide sandy beaches either side of the port’s entrance, an impressive amount of green space beyond that, and opportunities to enjoy active activities in abundance – be that windsurfing, flyboarding, cycling, or even kite-flying – you’ll find more than enough recreation when you disembark here. Several interesting museums and an abundance of excellent eateries in Velsen, the city attached to Ijmuiden, mean those of you looking for a more relaxed visit will still be well catered for. It also takes less than an hour to get to Amsterdam from Ijmuiden, so there’s even more of the Netherlands to enjoy when you arrive here.

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.

Never able to get a sunbed as people left their towels on them even when not needed although ships policy was against this nothing was followed through l would have taken the worst offenders and made them go all the way to reception to collect their possessions and let them feel the inconvenience that people who never ever had a chance of a single day of sunshine on upper deck 11

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
