Ambassador Cruise Line has announced the opening of bookings for its 2026 Christmas market cruises. This festive program includes seven adults-only, no-fly cruises as well as a variety of seasonal dining and overnight events aboard its ships.
Set to run from December 1 to December 17, 2026, the cruises will depart from the London Cruise Terminal and take place on the cruise ship Ambition. Itineraries will feature popular European destinations known for their Christmas markets, such as Honfleur, Bruges, Hamburg, Amsterdam, and Rotterdam.
One prominent offering is the 6-night Discover Germany, Holland & Belgium’s Festive Delights cruise that embarks on December 1. This voyage will make stops in Hamburg, IJmuiden for Amsterdam, and Zeebrugge for Bruges while combining visits to charming Christmas markets with a taste of local cuisine and historical landmarks.
For those seeking a shorter experience, a 2-night Dutch Festive Getaway leaves on December 7, taking guests to Amsterdam, where they can indulge in the city’s festive spirit and its iconic canals and museums.
Additionally, on December 9, the Festive Break to France, Belgium & Holland will provide a 5-night journey that includes stops in Honfleur, Zeebrugge, and IJmuiden, allowing for the exploration of historic towns and their Christmas markets across three countries.
The program also includes two more Christmas Markets of Holland & Belgium sailings on December 14 and 17, featuring a 3-night visit to Amsterdam and Bruges, as well as a 4-night itinerary including Rotterdam.
In tandem with the cruise offerings, Ambassador Cruise Line will host a series of festive events titled Lunch, Dinner & Overnight Experiences on board the ship Ambience, which will be docked at the London Cruise Terminal. These events, designed for those seeking festive celebrations without a full cruise, will take place on seven different days in December 2026. Guests can enjoy a 5-course festive meal, live entertainment, and overnight accommodations. One noteworthy performance will feature Disco Inferno UK on December 4 and 5, celebrating classic disco hits with an engaging stage show.
