Evoking the instantly welcoming and comforting atmosphere of the cruise line’s onboard style, Ambassador Cruise Line has chosen to name its first cruise ship Ambience.
Ambience, is designed to carry approximately 1,400 guests, creating an inviting and social atmosphere. There are 798 cabins ranging from 18-52sq metres, a choice of five restaurants offering a selection of locally inspired dishes including specialty dining options as well as two cafes, nine lounges, a swimming pool, spa, day and evening entertainment, fitness and leisure facilities complemented by enticing enrichment and lifestyle programmes.
Previously known as Satoshi (and formerly Pacific Dawn), Ambience will make its first sailing for Ambassador Cruise Line in April 2022, which departs from London Tilbury.
Ambience will be upgraded with emission reduction technologies to be IMO Tier III compliant, prior to the start of the cruising season. She will not only adhere to the latest updated rules regarding emission reductions (Tier II from 1st January 2022 in certain NOX Emission Control areas) but will already be compliant with rules which come into force by 1st January 2025 (Tier III of the IMO NOX regulations – aiming to reduce nitrogen oxide emissions by approximately 70 percent compared to the Tier II standards). In addition, Ambience will be equipped and outfitted with the latest ballast and sewage water treatment systems, enabling her to sail in all strictly environmentally protected seas.
Within the guest areas, Ambience is being refurbished and upgraded, with sustainability central to decision making. Onboard, no single-use plastic is a prerequisite, and from in-room amenities to staff uniforms the cruise line has selected eco-conscious products.
Ambassador Cruise Line is also committed to smart technology with a strong paperless ethos, reducing wastage. Technology has also been used as an alternative to printing menus, shore plans and activity schedules. The huge investment in this area means that Ambience will be an innovator in its class and fully Tier III compliant.
