Back to Travel & holidays
ISAFJORDUR, Iceland

How do you plan to spend your 2026? Will you be sailing through the magnificent glaciers and epic volcanoes of Iceland or putting your feet up with a delicious cocktail on the golden beaches of the Mediterranean coast? Wherever you go, create everlasting memories with Ambassador Cruise Line’s 2026 sailings.

When you think of the perfect escape, you’re probably picturing home comforts, outstanding cuisine, and seamless travel, not airports and long transfers. But thanks to Ambassador Cruise Line’s thoroughly British sailings, you don’t have to worry about any of that. With voyages transporting you to some of the world’s most breathtaking destinations from seven regional UK ports (London Tilbury, Newcastle, Dundee, Liverpool, Belfast, Bristol Royal Portbury, and Portsmouth), you can focus on the moments that matter.

Although you’ll explore iconic and sought after destinations, your special moments don’t start here. Enjoy unique getaways with a quintessentially British onboard experience before you even step foot in port. Indulge in a traditional afternoon tea or ease into holiday mode by going for a pint at classic bars and restaurants named after key British locations such as Holyrood and Buckingham.

However you like to travel, get ready to create memories that will stay with you for a lifetime, from sunsets on deck to West End-style entertainment, every journey is designed for those special moments.

Sail into 2026

With Ambassador Cruise Line, each voyage is thoughtfully curated to combine ease, discovery, and wonder. So no matter what destination you’re ticking off your bucket-list, you can relax knowing the onboard experience and itineraries will be designed with your experience in mind.

Journey from the warm glow of the Caribbean to the timeless charm of the Mediterranean, and sail through the dramatic landscapes and witness the natural beauty of the Norwegian Fjords. Ambassador’s cruise ships’ eco-credentials are IMO Tier III compliant meaning they can sail to the heart of this UNESCO-listed part of the world, unlike many other cruise lines. Wherever you sail, Ambassador Cruise Line ensures your journey is filled with lasting moments of adventure, friendships, and relaxation.

But knowing where to go isn’t always simple. There are so many options to choose from; are you looking for cultural exploration, exhilarating adventure, or quiet relaxation? If you’re new to cruising or a seasoned cruise-goer who feels like they have seen it all, take a look at some of Ambassador’s exciting upcoming 2026 sailings to help inspire your next getaway.
