Ambition is a mid-sized cruise ship operated by Ambassador Cruise Line, serving as the second vessel in the British cruise line's fleet. Originally built in France and delivered in 1999 as Mistral, she previously sailed under several names including Grand Mistral for Ibero Cruises, Costa neoRiviera for Costa Cruises, and AIDAmira for AIDA Cruises. She was acquired by Ambassador Cruise Line in 2022 and underwent extensive refurbishments, including stateroom upgrades and emission reduction system installations, before entering service in May 2023. She accommodates roughly 1,200 guests across 680 staterooms, creating a classic, intimate onboard environment.
The ship was officially christened at the Port of Tyne in 2023 by British Olympic sailor Shirley Robertson OBE. Public spaces on board emphasize relaxation, social interaction, and classic maritime charm. Guests can gather in four bars and lounges, a traditional British pub, a tiered main theater for evening entertainment, or quiet areas such as the library, card rooms, and craft studio. Outdoor and wellness facilities include a dedicated wellness center, a fitness gym, two swimming pools, and open deck areas.
Dining options on board combine traditional service with global choices. The two main dining venues, Buckingham and Holyrood, offer multi-course menus, while Borough Market provides casual buffet-style dining from around the world. Specialty venues include Saffron, serving Indian cuisine, and Olympic Taverna, serving Mediterranean dishes.
Accommodations range from practical inside cabins to spacious suites. A total of 125 cabins feature private balconies, while 113 suites offer up to 62 square meters of living space. Standard stateroom amenities include tea and coffee making facilities, flat-screen televisions, air conditioning, ample storage, and en-suite bathrooms equipped with UK plug sockets and USB charging ports.
Ambition suits couples, solo travelers, and friends seeking a smaller, friendlier ship focused on destinations, comfort, and a relaxed atmosphere. Log your voyages aboard Ambition on The Cruise Globe.
