Just over a year ago, Ambassador merged with French cruise line Compagnie Française de Croisieres to form the Ambassador Group. A third ship – called Renaissance – joined the fleet following the agreement.

The fully-refurbished 1,200-passenger ship launched under its new Ambassador branding last autumn with a programme of fly-cruise Caribbean sailings.

Speaking at a trade event in Portsmouth on Wednesday (22 April), chief marketing officer Gordon Nardini insisted the line would not stop at three medium-sized vessels.
