The decision to bus passengers sailing onboard Ambition to Amsterdam from IJmuiden on Sunday (18 August) sees Ambassador become the latest major cruise line in recent months to be affected by climate activism.

The line assured guests any destination experiences would operate as planned and extra time would be added to allow for the journey to Amsterdam. IJmuiden is around an hour’s drive to Amsterdam.

"We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause and thank you for your understanding,” Ambassador said in a statement on its Facebook page on Saturday (17 August) evening. TTG has approached Ambassador for further comment.
