Three fascinating countries. Seven amazing destinations. Thirteen days of discovery. This cruise has it all. We will take you from the historic dockyards of Plymouth to Portugal’s cosmopolitan capital, then on to Bilbao, where stunning historic architecture rubs shoulders with the Guggenheim Museum – one of the most futuristic structures on earth. Then it’s on to Le Verdon, gateway to the Medoc vineyards, and the perfectly preserved 13th-century fishing village of Honfleur, birthplace of romantic art movements such as the Impressionist School.

CRUISE HIGHLIGHTS

La Coruna
Perched atop a Galician promontory is La Coruna, an historic Spanish port city. Walk along the storied promenade of Paseo Maritimo and visit ancient sites such as the Tower of Hercules for amazing views of this city overlooking the Bay of Biscay.

Lisbon
Portugal's bustling capital of Lisbon allures with its mix of Old World charm and seaside vibes. Lose yourself in the maze of narrow streets in the Alfama district, lunch atop the scenic overlook of Santa Catarina, and savour Lisbon's rich cultural tapestry.

Le Verdon
Le Verdon, France is a coastal town on the doorstep of Bordeaux's famous wine country. Explore historic harbours like Port-Medoc, visit coastal viewpoints such as Pointe de Grave, and take time to enjoy local flavours along the Gironde Estuary.

“Help desk no help”

We had a problem with the WiFi package. It wasn't clear how it worked and we were charged over £100 as my husband thought he just needed to sign in with his birthday date not mine. The help desk was not very helpful when we questioned our bill. The first person we spoke to told us to come back when the boys were there? When we spoke to the boys they explained the error we had made. Apparently, the chap who sold me the package was the IT manager. He did not explain it very well and they could see it was a genuine error but the stance they took was very defensive and kept saying it's your fault. They did knock two days charges off but we were still charged a lot. However, my main gripe was their attitude, especially the manager as he did not explain it properly. We never found the help desk to be very helpful, unless you wanted to buy anything. We also had a problem with the heating in the cabin. It was so hot. It took few days for someone to come. When he did he did something in the ceiling with tape and said he'd be back in a couple of days. Never saw him again. The vegetarian food was quite poor. We have sailed on Ambition twice and the food was good, so this was very disappointing. One evening my husband didn't like the one vegetarian option and asked if there was an alternative and was told no. We splashed out and went to the Saffron for a Chinese night. The restaurant was cold and we were told that someone was coming to sort it out. They never did. The main vegetarian meal was chow main, which was also the side dish that everyone got. It was a rip off.
