Creator's Key Takeaways

We think this offers incredible value.

The price of the festive event includes a welcome on board cocktail, overnight accommodation, dinner with wine, a theater show, all the other onboard entertainment, breakfast on disembarkcation morning, and gratuitities.

Overall, we really enjoyed our meal and we felt very nicely fed and watered.

It was the Christmas of our lives and we are so happy Mark didn't die.

YouTube Video Description

Did this really just happen?! We booked an overnight Christmas festive event on Ambassador Ambition - and things didn’t quite go to plan…. In this video, we take you along for the full experience to see whether an Ambassador Cruise Line festive event is actually worth booking. This was our chance to test Ambassador Cruise Line without committing to a full sailing, and it ended up feeling like embarkation day and disembarkation day rolled into one. From check-in at Tilbury, to exploring the Ambassador Ambition ship, our cabin, festive dining, drinks packages, onboard entertainment - and yes, a bit of unexpected drama - we show you exactly what to expect. We’ll take you inside our Ambassador Ambition inside cabin, share our honest thoughts on the Ambassador Ambition food, including the festive dinner and late-night snacks, and talk through what’s included in the price of these special events. We’ll also cover drinks packages created specifically for Ambassador Ambition Christmas events, dress code expectations, and what the overnight experience is really like. If you’ve been curious about Ambassador Cruises, or you’re wondering whether a festive event is a good way to try the cruise line for the first time, this video will give you a realistic, no-nonsense look at the experience - the good, the great, and the bits that surprised us.

Their fleet currently includes Ambassador Ambition and Ambassador Ambience, with Renaissance operating fly-cruise itineraries to the Caribbean. Ambassador Ambition is a mid-sized cruise ship, making it easy to get around while still offering a wide range of dining venues, bars, entertainment, and onboard facilities. The ship is popular with UK cruisers looking for a traditional cruise experience with a relaxed atmosphere and good-value pricing. We also have a festive event video on Ambassador Ambience, so make sure to check that out to see how the two ships compare!
