Ambassador Cruise Line is pleased to announce that,following a competitive pitch process, Lloyd Werft in Bremerhaven has won the dry docking contract for its second lady of the sea, Ambition. Lloyd Werft delivered a comprehensive tender offer, and a track record that demonstrates their commitment to delivering projects to a high standard was key to our decision. 

Ambition will leave Glasgow as planned on 1 April 2023 and head to Germany for her environmental upgrades that will make her IMO Tier III compliant and in the top 10-15% of environmentally sustainable ships worldwide. These refurbishments will make it possible for her to sail to the most environmentally protected areas around the world.  While in Germany, she will also get her new livery and Ambassador branding, as well as undergo venue improvements and furnishing upgrades.

As announced earlier this week, Shirley Robertson OBE will christen Ambition in her role as Godmother ­at an official ceremony in Newcastle on 11 May 2023 ahead of Ambition’s inaugural 14-night Hidden Gems of France and Spain sailing departing from the Port of Tyne on 12 May.
