Music Themed Cruise

Some decades simply refuse to be forgotten

And honestly, why would we want them to? Step aboard Ambition for a four-night sailing that takes you back through three of the most unforgettable decades in living memory. The groove of the 70s. The glitz of the 80s. The anthems of the 90s. Three themed evenings, three headline live acts, fancy dress and full-board dining, all included in one fare, all without a single airport to navigate. 

We sail from Newcastle and arrive into Bristol, which means the holiday starts where you are. Days in port give you Amsterdam from Ijmuiden and Bruges from Zeebrugge, a full day at sea to recover, and Bristol to come home to. 

No fly. No luggage carousel. No exchange rates. Just a brilliant ship and the soundtrack to some of the best years of your life. 

What's Happening Onboard 

  • Live Bands & Music bringing the very best of each decade to our stage, night after night 

  • Spectacular Cabarets with show-stopping performances inspired by the era 

  • Themed Menus featuring much-loved classics with a contemporary Ambassador twist 

  • Themed Quizzes to put your decade-spotting knowledge (and your friends) to the test 

  • Themed Fancy Dress Nights, three glorious evenings of dressing up, with prizes for the most fabulous outfits onboard 

CRUISE HIGHLIGHTS

Each evening brings a new decade to life, with the whole ship dressing up to mark the occasion. Expect a wonderful welcome, plenty of friendly faces, and the kind of nostalgia that puts a smile on your face from the moment you wake up. 

THE 70s, Peace, Love & Platforms. We're kicking things off in the decade that gave us disco, denim and the dancefloors we all secretly miss. Think glitter balls, glam and a hearty cheer when the first chord of an ABBA classic drifts across the lounge. Featuring The Divettes bringing the soul, the harmonies and the stage presence to make it a proper evening. Platform shoes very much encouraged. 

THE 80s, Big Hair. Bigger Hits. Next up, we're firing up the synthesisers and turning up the neon. From power ballads to pop legends, this is the night to embrace your inner rock star, shoulder pads strongly encouraged. Featuring The Wild Boys on stage for a live show that covers the decade properly. A room full of people who know every word, and a band that gives them every reason to prove it. 

THE 90s, Britpop, Girl Power & Absolute Bangers. And finally, we round things off with the decade of Britpop, Girl Power and unforgettable anthems. Whether you were Blur or Oasis, this is the night to sing along like nobody's watching. (Because, frankly, everyone will be joining in.) 90s Rewind brings the full back catalogue back to the stage and by the final chorus, nobody remembers what they were arguing about.
