Ambassador Fly Cruises to the Caribbean from Manchester or London Heathrow
When the Scottish winter draws in, there is another lovely way to find the sunshine. Alongside our no-fly sailings from Dundee, Ambassador offers fly-cruises to the Caribbean aboard Renaissance, flying from Manchester or London Heathrow so guests across Scotland can reach the tropics with ease.
Renaissance is our smallest and most intimate ship, adults-only and beautifully suited to the Caribbean. She slips into harbours the larger vessels cannot reach and docks right in the heart of each island, so you step ashore and straight into the day. Across a fly cruise you can island-hop between white-sand beaches and turquoise bays, calling at gems such as Barbados, Antigua, St Lucia, Tobago and Aruba, with a different island, a different rhythm and a different Destination Experience to enjoy each day.
It is the perfect winter contrast to a no-fly voyage: a direct flight to the warmth, then all the comfort, full-board dining and West End-style entertainment of an Ambassador ship, with the sailing between islands taken care of while you simply settle in and unwind.
