Ambassador Fly Cruises from Manchester
Liverpool is wonderful for a no-fly escape, but when you are ready to swap the Irish Sea for the Caribbean, the tropics are closer than you might think. From right across the North West, Manchester Airport puts a sun-soaked island adventure within easy reach.
Ambassador's Caribbean fly cruises sail aboard Renaissance, our smallest and most characterful ship. Beautifully intimate, Renaissance carries fewer guests than the larger ships and berths in the very heart of each port, so there is no tender and no queue: you simply walk ashore into the colour and warmth of the islands. A single flight from Manchester, and your days are spent moving between palm-fringed bays and lively harbour towns, calling at the likes of Barbados, St Lucia, Grenada and Tobago, with a fresh island and a new Destination Experience waiting each morning.
Our Caribbean fly cruises embody everything you’d expect from our no-fly sailings: the same warm British welcome, full-board dining and evening entertainment you know from Ambassador, wrapped around the sunshine of a Caribbean winter.
