'Maritime expertise': Luxury Ambassador cruise ship to undergo massive multi-million pound refurb in Hebburn
Ambassador Cruise Line has confirmed that its vessel Ambience, known as its first lady of the sea, is to undergo a multimillion-pound refit in the North East, marking the first time the business has partnered with A&P Tyne.
The ship will enter a scheduled dry dock at A&P Tyne in Hebburn, Tyne and Wear, for a three-week programme of technical maintenance and refurbishment works. The project follows the recent refit of sister ship Ambition at A&P Falmouth and marks the continuation of Ambassador's ongoing investment in its UK-based fleet.
It will undergo a programme of technical works, alongside guest-facing improvements including the installation of additional plug sockets and USB and USBC ports in cabins and suites, refurbishment of guest lifts, replacement of carpets across selected decks and refreshed furnishings and finishes in suites, balcony cabins and public spaces.
