Ambassador Cruise Line has a stellar lineup of themed cruises for guests to enjoy in 2025.

Whether looking to relive the fun-filled 1980s on the Benelux Coastal Explorer, complete with themed cabaret shows, nostalgic menus and special guest appearances, sail alongside ORCA Ocean Conservationists or join one of the Supercraft cruises for hand-on crafting fun, Ambassador has a themed cruise for everyone in 2025.

Following overwhelmingly positive guest feedback on Ambassador’s themed cruises in 2024, the cruise line is proud to deliver a great lineup of unique themed cruises for the year ahead.

Sail Back to the 80’s with a Nostalgic Four-Night Cruise

In May 2025, guests will have the opportunity to embark on a four-night ‘Back to the 80’s’ cruise onboard Ambience, exploring Belgium and the Netherlands while celebrating the iconic era of bold fashion, loud music and endless fun.

Promising an exciting blend of culture, nostalgia and entertainment, the sailing promises to transport travellers back in time, with themed cabaret shows and lively quizzes, menus bringing classic ‘80s favourites to life, fancy-dress competitions and workout classes inspired by the era of leotards and leg warmers.

The cruise will also feature performances by ‘80s icons, including The Fizz—featuring Cheryl Baker and Jay Aston of Bucks Fizz fame—and Toyah Wilcox, known for her vibrant career and recent success on ‘Strictly Come Dancing.’ Along the way, travellers will visit Zeebrugge, Belgium, a gateway to the historic charm of Bruges, and Ijmuiden, Netherlands, offering access to Amsterdam’s cultural delights, bustling harbour, and scenic landmarks.
