Ambassador Cruise Line has postponed the launch on new-ship Ambition after it agreed a deal to charter the vessel to the Scottish government next month to help home Ukrainian refugees.

Ambition is set to be deployed in Glasgow next month

The vessel is currently being mobilised to be in Glasgow for the beginning of September for six months after Ambassador came to a joint arrangement with the Scottish government.

It will then go into dry dock for soft refurbishment of public areas and cabins and engine upgrades. This means its inaugural season will be delayed until mid-May 2023. It was initially due to make its debut in March 2023.
