Our Ships Departing From Newcastle

Cruises from Newcastle sail aboard Ambition, and the Port of Tyne holds a special place in her story: it is the port from which Ambition made her inaugural sailing in May 2023.

Ambition, intimate and elegant.

Smaller and wonderfully characterful, Ambition welcomes up to 1,200 guests and slips easily into quieter ports, a favourite for the fjords, Iceland and the shorter escapes.

Our flagship Ambience sails from our home port of London Tilbury.

Multiple Destinations

The Port of Tyne is beautifully placed for the north and beyond. From here you can sail to:

  • The Norwegian Fjords: only a short trip across the North Sea, weaving between towering mountains through silent waterways.
  • The British Isles: the Scottish Highlands and Isles, Northern Ireland and the Isles of Scilly.
  • Amsterdam: an easy short break across the North Sea.
  • France and Spain: through the Channel for a touch of Mediterranean warmth.

Every sailing is reached gently by sea, so the journey becomes part of the experience.
