One of life’s simplest pleasures is coming together over great food, which, of course, gets better when you’re breathing in the sea breeze in between bites. Carefully crafted menus blend traditional plates with locally inspired cuisine, letting the dish choices be crafted by the itineraries themselves – giving you a taste of the finer things in life.

Ambience has venues for every mood, from quaint and traditional afternoon high teas to decadent gala dinners alongside your Captain.

Entertainment, Lounges & Bars

Ambience offers no less than 11 different lounges and bars including Raffles Bar, Botanical Lounge, Observatory, SW19 and The Purple Turtle Pub, so there’s a wide choice of contrasting venues to choose from.

The Palladium is where the real magic happens onboard Ambience. The west-end quality theatre shows are truly a spectacle that has to be experienced.  Two evening shows are offered to accommodate both early and late dinner sittings.  The talented show team are on hand to entertain you all night long with a selection of shows.

Raffles Bar is a wonderful place to sit and unwind after a delicious meal before heading down to the Palladium for a show. Alternatively, it is a chilled spot for a relaxing evening with a glass of whatever you fancy. Raffles hosts some great resident musicians, adopting a jazz feel with its art deco interior.

Prefer a pub experience? The Purple Turtle Pub is for you. Home to quizzes and game shows on board, you’ll be able to enjoy an evening of competitive fun with your resident guests onboard whilst enjoying the traditional pub service and feeling.

The Botanical Lounge has a floral theme and is also home to live music in the evening, with a resident musician playing classical music, creating a relaxing and chilled ambience. Perfect for those who want to sip on a cocktail and decide how to spend the following day or reflect on a day well spent before heading off to bed.

Last but by no means least, the Observatory is a unique location, offering uninterrupted views over the sea ahead and serving a selection of tantalising tipples. Here you’ll be able to enjoy the best of both worlds, as drinks are served alongside entertainment, often a cabaret and then a late-night disco – best get your dancing shoes on!

Jewels of the Mediterranean

Please note this is an Adults Only cruise.

Turn up the heat with an unforgettable sail in the sunshine.  Cruising through the Mediterranean is the ultimate way to soak in that glorious climate and reflect on the magic that swells through those historic cities and pristine beaches. From the enchanting city of Rome, with its ancient ruins and breathtaking Colosseum below, to the aqua-blue waters and stretches of golden sands of Mallorca, there is something for everybody. Sip wine in Corsica and lose yourself in the tiled hilly streets of Lisbon – our itinerary is a treasure trove of Mediterranean treats.

Cruise Highlights

Civitavecchia – for Rome, Italy

One of Europe’s most historic city, Rome is a treasure house of ancient ruins, museums and art galleries, including the breathtaking Colosseum and Sistine Chapel. You can also experience some of the most delicious food in the world.

Leixoes – for Oporto, Portugal

When taking an optional tour of Porto, it’s a must to sample the magnificent port wine that has made the city world famous. But there’s plenty more to savour, from the stunning Francisco Church to the magnificent 19th-century Palácio de Bolsa.

Cadiz – for Seville, Spain

Take an optional tour to sun-soaked Seville where you’ll find a city of contrasts: from the magnificent cathedral and Alcazar Palace to bustling street markets, lively flamenco shows, tranquil river cruises and, of course, truly wonderful tapas.

Lisbon, Portugal

Alongside a magnificent climate, Lisbon combines a wealth of history with a vibrant contemporary culture. The futuristic Parque das Nações, with its cable car, is a must-see and some of Portugal’s best beaches are just a bus ride away.
