Three-sy does it for no-fly line Ambassador - at the launch of its second ship Ambition in Newcastle chairman Gordon Wilson revealed that the search for a third ship was already under way.
He told passengers and guests at the Port of Tyne event that, like flagship Ambience and now Ambition, the next addition to the fleet would have a name starting with ‘Am…’ and suggestions were welcome (we think Amore or Amaze could be a decent bet, Amoxicillin or Ambivalent less likely).
The 1,200 passenger Ambition, formerly with Germany’s AIDA Cruises, is now sailing her 14 night maiden voyage to France and Spain and she will return to Tyneside four more times this year for regional sailings which will also feature departures from Dundee, Edinburgh, Falmouth, Liverpool, Bristol and Belfast. Both ships will also sail from Ambassador's homeport in Tilbury, Essex.
