Ambassador Cruise Line has been forced to cancel its three-day Festive Market Getaway cruise from Tilbury (die to depart on Sunday 18 December) following an issue with one of the lifeboats.
Annual maintenance works uncovered an issue with the ship’s onboard lifeboat station meaning the cruise was unable to go ahead.
In a statement, Ambassador said: “We have chosen to immediately address this as a precautionary measure and, as such, will not be able to complete the repair and post-repair test in time to successfully operate today’s sailing.
“It is never an easy decision to cancel any itinerary, particularly at this time of year, and we would like to apologise to all those guests who were due to sail with us today.”
