Ambassador Cruise Line is set to make its debut this year with one of the top highly-anticipated new cruise ships for 2022, Ambience.
Now the brand new cruise line - the first British one to be launch since 2010 - has announced plans for a second ship to join its fleet next year.
Ambition will enter service in 2023, and like Ambience she will offer plenty of luxurious amenities for guests including a wellness centre, casino, theatre, gym, shops, and highlights such as a card room, craft studio and library.
As for dining, passengers will have a choice of two main restaurants and speciality dining, a casual bistro, four bars, lounges and even a pub!

Eagle-eyed cruise fans may actually recognise the cruise ship already, as she was bought from Costa Crociere, where she had been operating as AIDAMira. The ship has also previously sailed under names including Mistral, Grand Mistral and Costa neoRiviera.
Of course under Ambassador Cruise Line she will be receiving an extensive refurbishment - so passengers can expect a completely new look and experience!
The new ship boasts a gross tonnage of 48,123 and will offer 714 cabins and suites, 66% of which will include a balcony view for passengers.
The cruise line has said it will reveal details of her maiden voyage later this year, although we know that like Ambiance she will offer a series of no-fly sailings from the UK including departures from ports such as London Tilbury, Newcastle, Dundee, Belfast, Liverpool, Bristol and Falmouth.
For those who can't wait to start enjoying cruise holidays again, Ambience is due to make her debut in April, on a maiden voyage to Hamburg from London Tilbury.
Boasting a gross tonnage of 70,285 and 789 cabins, the ship is larger than Ambition although both offer similar experiences such as a theatre, casino, shops, restaurants and a craft studio - and Ambience will also have a pub, the Purple Turtle.

Speaking about new ship Ambition Christian Verhounig, the line's CEO, said: "We are delighted with the warm reception given to the introduction of Ambassador to the market – a new brand, proposition and our first ship. This announcement of the addition of Ambition to the fleet reflects our confidence and willingness to invest in the future of Ambassador and the cruise sector.
"We are particularly excited to be offering regional departure options for Ambition in 2023, whilst also offering guests who travel from London Tilbury a greater choice of sailings and ships on which to enjoy them.
"Clearly, we are all focused on the success of Ambience’s maiden season which commences in April this year, but we believe existing and new guests, as well as our trade partners, will be thrilled to hear about Ambassador’s growth plans."
