The adverts promise the “warmest welcome at sea” and that’s what I received when I cruised with Ambassador to Antwerp, my first time experiencing a cruise ship.

Here’s how I found cruising on Ambassador’s ship Ambition on a three-night cruise from London, Tilbury.

Sometimes trying something new can be a little scary, especially if it's possibly going to cost you a decent sum money. Trying a cruise line for the first time is no different! But change can be exciting and lead to new opportunities and adventures.

Experience cruiser, cruise blogger and travel writer Marcus Adam, has shared with us his top reasons why you should consider booking a cruise holiday with Celebrity Cruises. If like Marcus, you've cruised with Celebrity Cruises before, then you'll know what he's talking about!

Ambassador Cruise Line is a brand-new cruise line and is the first new British cruise line to be launched in more than a decade!

To find out what all the fuss is about, we caught up with the cruise line's Chief Marketing Officer, Gordon Nardini, ahead of the maiden voyage of Ambassador Cruise Line's first ship, Ambience, setting sail from London Tilbury, UK in April 2022.

Somewhat later than originally planned in summer 2021, despite the global pandemic, P&O Cruises' brand new state-of-the-art flagship, Iona, set sail from Southampton on its maiden voyage. On board was Matthew Gilbert, from Cruising with Matthew.

We took a moment to catch up with Matthew following his cruise on Iona, to ask him all about this very special maiden voyage!

In 2022, a total of 25 exciting brand-new cruise ships, of all different sizes are set to leave shipyards across the world and enter service.
 
We’ve chosen 5 that we think really stand out!

Voyages To Antiquity is a unique cruise line operating just one small cruise ship, the Aegean Odyssey. The cruise line’s experience is designed for travellers who want to learn more about the history, culture and natural wonders of the ancient world.

The size of the ship is part of what makes cruising with Voyages To Antiquity so different. The ship is perfectly suited to visit places which larger ships cannot, therefore offering more destination-rich cruise itineraries.
