Ambassador Cruise Line has opened sales for its no-fly cruises in summer and winter 2027 and spring 2028.

Ambience will offer 32 no-fly voyages and Ambition 43 during the season running between March 24, 2027 and April 14, 2028.

Cruises will depart from seven regional UK ports and will call at 131 destinations, including 10 which are new to the line, across 41 countries.

New ports of call include Hellesylt (Norway)​, Fredericia (Denmark), Velas and Santa Maria Island (Azores), Samana (Dominican Republic), Torquay (UK)​, Ibiza (Spain)​ and Klaksvik (Faroe Islands)​.

Print copies will be sent to Ambassador database subscribers and valued trade partners towards the end of the month.

Destinations include the British Isles, the Mediterranean, the Caribbean, the Americas and Norwegian fjords, and departure ports are London Cruise Terminal, Newcastle, Dundee, Liverpool, Belfast, Bristol Royal Portbury and Portsmouth.

The no-fly 2027-28 programme includes shorter voyages, including a highlighted two-night Dutch Escape on May 15, 2027, which leads in at £229 for the first passenger, and £109 for the second.

There will be four festive sailings, including two over Christmas and New Year. Another highlight is the two-night Yuletide Delights: Amsterdam Escape on December 19, 2027 which costs from £229 for the first passenger and £109 for the second passenger.

Ambassador Cruise Line will also offer a 19-night 2027 Solar Eclipse cruise from Dundee on July 27, 2027, which leads in at £2,489 for the first passenger, and £1,239 for the second passenger.  

Agents making bookings for the new season between June 26 and September 30 will benefit from early booking incentives including second passenger travelling for half price, half off premium drinks packages, half off single fares for solo travellers and a 5% discount for group bookings of 15 or more passengers on selected sailings in 2027-28.

The line, which will operate its inaugural Caribbean fly-cruise programme this winter, will also shift its fleet to adult-only following feedback from passengers.

Ambassador Cruise Line chief executive Christian Verhounig said: “We are seeing very, very good demand which is why we are getting ahead.

“Our guests are booking further and further out, which is fantastic news for us, but also linked to the fact we are fairly full for the present.”

The line’s most recent launch for 2026-27 season was “extremely positive”, he said, which was 50% ahead of sales for the previous season’s launch.

Verhounig said: “We are extending the warmest welcome to 2027-28 and there are some exciting itineraries put together which are destination-driven with great input from guests over the last four years to add more variety.

“No-fly from seven ports is really key and 80% of our guests live within three hours of ports of departure so getting them on board is hassle-free.

"Going to places others can’t go and using our small size and accessible ships is very important to us."
