In keeping with Ambassador cruise line, one of the friendliest, most well managed ships and great value. The food and choice was consistently excellent with great dining options. The choice of entertainment was excellent. I did miss the indoor forward viewing deck of the Ambience though partly made up for by public leisure spaces extended to the full width of the ship with great sea viewing. I reduced one star for lack of good forward viewing. The cabin was excellent with good wardrobe space though lacking bedside draws. A great plus for me is the ships medium size - 1200 passengers. Great tour options, well managed. Embarking and disembarking when following the guidance was simple, prompt and stress free.
Recommend improvements: Reduce height of second row of theatre seating - Irritating to those seated behind. Add draws to bedside small cupboards.

Best cruise I've ever been on. The food and hospitality of the staff was second to none. Inside cabin, incredibly bright and spacious. Easy to operate modern shower in bathroom. No puddles. Lovely design of sink. TV was good. It took a couple of days to realize we could get Prime One and Prime favourites. Entertainment was amazing and incredibly varied program. We can't wait to book on the next cruise with Ambassador. Embarkation was easy. Don't get ripped off by taxi divers charging £15 from Tilbury town station to the dock. Friendly port staff and locals in Tilbury and Liverpool. Thank you, thank you and thank you again to the staff and crew!

Very friendly ship, staff excellent, good food, service was great n main restaurant but I am a fussy eater & could only select what's on the menu, They should bring back Steak Or Chicken always available. TV in cabin could do with some soft music while watching ships camera. Entertainment was first class, Our Excursion was cancelled, No fault of company but was disappointed.

DAY 1
07 Dec 2025
Time at Port: from 12 AM to 5 PM
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.
Things to do in London Tilbury:
Tilbury Fort
Tilbury Fort is an artillery fort on the north bank of the River Thames. It was formerly known as the Thermitage Bulwark and the West Tilbury Blockhouse. From the 16th century until the Second World War, it secured London's seaward approach. The first fort was constructed here by Henry VIII, and Queen Elizabeth I famously gathered her soldiers nearby to combat the Armada threat. With its network of moats and bastioned outworks, the current fort is perhaps the greatest example of its kind in England.
Coalhouse Fort
A short journey away from the port lies the Coalhouse Fort Park. Dating back to the 1860s, this fascinating coastal defence building holds an array of events throughout the year and is run solely by volunteers.
Guru Nanak Temple
Located just across the river in nearby Gravesend, the Siri Guru Nanak Darbar Gurdwara is a Sikh temple which offers guided tours. Extraordinary in its architecture, it’s an impressive building featuring 5 domes, hand crafted marble and stonework. It took inspiration from the iconic Golden Temple at Amritsar.
