The Purple Turtle Pub
Location: Deck 8
The ship’s friendly pub, serving draught beers, ciders, and plenty of camaraderie.
Whist not actually a pub, The Purple Turtle is a bar and entertainment venue on Ambience which gives lots of ‘pub vibes’. The Purple Turtle features daytime and evening activities such as quizzes, game shows, bingo, and live music, along with serving nibbles and crisps along side drinks. It has a central dance floor area if you want to strut your stuff.
Observatory Lounge
Location: Deck 14
Panoramic sea views by day and lively music or dancing by night. Best for sunset cocktails.
My favourite spot on Ambience! The Observatory is a stylish lounge and entertainment venue located on Deck 14. Being at the top of the ship, The Observatory, with its dramatic purple decor, offers panoramic ocean views during the day and hosts late-night discos, cabarets, and other entertainment in the evening.
SW19
Location: Deck 7
A sports and social lounge with big screens and a buzzy, casual vibe.
The SW19 is a Wimbledon-themed bar located on Deck 7 of Ambassador Ambience. Named after the famous Wimbledon postcode, it serves drinks in the Centre Court atrium, providing comfortable seating for guests to relax, people-watch, or play board games while enjoying views of the central atrium area. On occasion sports events are screened in SW19
Consulate Bar
Location: Aft, Deck 10
A slightly more alfresco formal lounge for sail-away cocktails and late-evening drinks.
Shhh … this is one of Ambience’s best kept secrets! The Consulate Bar on Ambassador Ambience, offers a tranquil and comfortable atmosphere, providing a quiet spot for relaxation with a warm welcome and a "secret" element. Located at the aft (rear) of Deck 10 on the Consulate Deck, it features comfortable seating and access to sun loungers, making it an ideal place to enjoy a drink, the sea views, and a quieter experience away from the main activity areas. Will you be one of the elite to find it?
The Palladium
Location: Decks 7 and 8
A multi-tiered entertainment venue where the ship's talented Show Team and guest artists perform.
The Palladium is a two-tiered theatre located on decks 7 and 8 of the Ambience cruise ship. It serves as the central entertainment hub of the ship, offering a grand and engaging atmosphere. It features comfortable seating and tables, a large LED screen for effects, and a stage for engaging performances.
