EXPERIENCE FESTIVE MAGIC: CHRISTMAS MARKET CRUISES FROM LONDON TILBURY

With notable Christmas markets dotted across some of Europe’s popular cruising locations, a Christmas markets cruise from London Tilbury is the perfect option for a December getaway. Find your festive sparkle with warming mulled wine, Christmas trees in abundance and traditional festive foodie treats. Book your magical December adventure from cruise port London Tilbury with Ambassador Cruise Line today or read on to find out more.

Join us for a festive season like no other where you can rejoice in the knowledge that all the bells and whistles are taken care of by Ambassador Cruise Line. It’s always a wonderful time of year sailing with us but for the festive period, we really do push the boat out. Bringing you all your favourite holiday traditions (plus plenty of extra magic and sparkle), we have seasonal galas, festive shows, all your favourite anthems, and of course, unbeatable cuisine and full board food and drinks packages. 

With plentiful Christmas markets, Hamburg’s festive season is quite remarkable. Upon arrival, you can savour all the seasonal delights, finish your Christmas shopping, sip a mulled wine (or Glühwein) and simply soak in the magic. Then, of course, nothing quite says Christmas like Antwerp’s Groenplaats adorned in lights and traditional décor. Wander through stalls of seasonal offerings, take a skate on the rink, and revel in Belgium’s timeless festivities.
