This extraordinary value, six-week voyage of discovery sees Ambition sail from the grey of British winter into the heart of the vibrant, colourful Amazonian rainforest, and to some balmy, sun-kissed Caribbean idylls, including Spice Isle Grenada, tropical Tobago and cricket-loving Barbados. With calls in glorious Madeira, the fascinating Cape Verde Islands and the Azores, this wonderful cruise to warmer climes is a not-to-be-missed adventure. The undoubted highlight will be the journey up – and down – the River Amazon, a passage to the great city of Manaus. Throughout the fascinating journey, there will be opportunities to head ashore by tender to discover a world surrounded by the equatorial forests, perhaps catching glimpses of colourful birdlife in the canopy.

  • Comfortable, contemporary cabins and suites that feature TV, hairdryer, tea and coffee making facilities and individually controlled air conditioning
  • A wide choice of British and International cuisine every day throughout your cruise

    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.
