Celebrate Christmas and see in the New Year aboard delightful Ambience as you sail south from Tilbury to warmer climes and – hopefully – blue skies. Enjoyable visits to Lisbon and Madeira are followed by a trio of sun-kissed Canary Island calls, before you turn for home, with a last call in Leixoes for Oporto to complete this wonderful festive cruise. Following a call in maritime Rotterdam, celebrate Christmas Day at sea before stepping ashore in Portugal’s vibrant capital. The colourful delights of the Garden Isle and the holiday paradises of Lanzarote Gran Canaria and Tenerife, and a memorable New Year’s Eve aboard, complete the festive delights.

Rotterdam

Welcome to Rotterdam. The city has a storied maritime past, dating all the way back to the 14th century, when the Rotterdamse Schie canal opened and the city became a focal point for trading between England and Germany. You won’t be surprised to find that most of Rotterdam's attractions revolve around the water. Marvel at the curious, innovative design of the Cubic Houses, the Blaakse Bos development which fringes on the Laurenskwartier district and the Waterfront area. You can also check out the city’s sea port, which happens to be Europe's largest. Today, the waterfront is filled with fascinating attractions, including maritime museums, boat tours, harbourfront bars, cafes and restaurants, and incredible modern architecture, too.
