To coincide with the release, Ambassador is running a buy one get one free offer on all sailings in the 2025-26 season, as well as 50% off single fares for solo travellers, on bookings made by May 29.

Additionally, customers who book the line’s premium drinks package will receive 25% off the per day price.

Chief executive Christian Verhounig said: “As we approach our third season of sailing, we are proud to unveil our range of inspiring itineraries for 2025-26.

“With more UK regional departures than any other cruise line, we have reviewed guest feedback and researched trending destinations to curate a wonderful and unique range of diverse itineraries for all types of traveller to many remote destinations that bigger ships can’t call at.

“With no-fly cruising from seven UK ports offering holidaymakers the chance to start their holidays sooner without needing to worry about airport queues, flight cancellations, luggage restrictions or exchange rate fluctuations, we’re looking forward to offering the warmest welcome at sea to many more new and returning guests in 2025-26.”
