IT’S NOT too late to book a spring or summer getaway on the seas – and the new Ambassador Cruise Line has some great voyages for mature travellers.
Its maiden no-fly season kicks off in April, with 29 sailings from London Tilbury from as little as £67pp per night.
Better still, anyone who books before March 14 will bag up to 30 per cent off cruises and on certain grades can save up to £562pp on drinks, with 20 per cent off their top Ambassador Explorer Drinks package.
There’s no need to panic if you’re tight for cash right now, as holidaymakers can secure their trip with a deposit and won’t have to pay anything more up until 90 days before departure.
If you’ve ever wanted to explore the scenic canals and incredible seafood restaurants of Hamburg, then this new four-night cruise will be right up your street.
Passengers will spend four nights on board Ambience where they can while away the hours in an outdoor hot tub, watch a dazzling show at the multi-tiered Palladium theatre or try their luck in the casino.
You’ll have one day to roam the bustling German port city before returning to the UK — with plenty of time to make use of the onboard spa and shopping facilities as well as enjoy the superb food.
Pick from a standard cabin or upgrade to a roomier Superior cabin, some of which come with a balcony and plenty of storage.
