Surrey and Ambassador shore up new partnership

Surrey County Cricket Club are pleased to welcome Ambassador Cruise Line onboard as the Official Cruise Line Partner of The Kia Oval, who have signed a multi-year deal with the Club.

The new Partnership will see the ‘no-fly’ cruise line offering authentic experiences and affordable quality receive marketing opportunities on matchdays as well as across Surrey’s social media channels.

Ambassador will also provide exclusive offers on its wide range of cruise itineraries to Surrey Members and supporters alongside offering fan engagement experiences at The Kia Oval during domestic fixtures.

Sharing many of the same values as the Kia Oval, Ambassador is renowned for delivering incredible experiences and warm hospitality to guests sailing on its two small-to-mid size ships: Ambience and Ambition. With more UK regional departures than any other cruise line, Ambassador provides authentic adult-only experiences to the 50-plus market combined with a selection of multi-generational itineraries. Sailing from eight ports across the country, it promises to deliver unforgettable moments at every port of call, offering guests amazing entertainment, outstanding cuisine and exceptional service while sailing to breathtaking destinations: all for the best value.

Charlie Buck, Commercial Director at Surrey CCC, said: “It is a pleasure to welcome Ambassador Cruise Line to the Surrey family! Our shared commitment towards providing world-class customer experience and hospitality brings us together. We’re looking forward to working with them to deliver some fantastic matchday experiences for our fans and members at The Kia Oval this season.”

Gordon Nardini, Chief Marketing Officer at Ambassador Cruise Line, said: “The team at Ambassador Cruise Line are incredibly proud to have been named the Official Cruise Line Partner of The Kia Oval. Through our Partnership, we’re thrilled to be working with Surrey County Cricket Club to offer exclusive offers and discounts to members, fans and fellow partners as well as delivering a range of fan engagement experiences during domestic fixtures at The Kia Oval. Here’s looking forward to welcoming many Surrey fans onboard for the ‘warmest welcome at sea’ in the months and years to come!”
