BOOKING a cruise in advance is one of the easiest ways to save money on your next sail.

Ambassador Cruises has released its 2025-26 programme, with departures from eight UK ports.

To celebrate the release, there is a “buy one, get one free” offer on all sailings in 2025 and 2026—so the second person can go for free, or you can split the cost of the paying guest.

But it doesn’t end there as solo travellers can also enjoy 50 per cent off all single fares.

Although you can depart anytime in the next two years, you’ll have to book by May 29 to take advantage of the deals.

Departures include London Tilbury, Edinburgh, Dundee, Liverpool, Belfast, and Bristol, and most of the itineraries are non-fly.

The no-fly line will visit 130 ports while sailing to 37 nations on three continents.

From European voyages to exotic adventures in the Caribbean and beyond, there’s something to suit every holidaymaker.

The company has two line ships, Ambience and Ambition.

If you’re unsure which ship is right for you, “Ambience” is the largest and can accommodate 1,400 people.

Eleven lounges and bars, six dining options, and two entertainment areas are on board the ship.

Live music and theatrical performances take place at the multi-level Palladium, while late-night discos and cabaret are held at The Observatory.

Meanwhile, “Ambition” can host up to 1,200 people and boasts two restaurants, a bistro-style café and many bars.

Plus, you’ll find a tiered main theatre, a card room, a library, and a craft studio.

To make it even better, those booking the premium drinks package will receive 25 per cent off the per-day price.

Here are just some of the best offers we’ve found in the “buy one, get one free” offers:

• 4 nights on the French Escape from Tilbury – from £489
• 4 nights on the Festive Getaway from Tilbury – from £489

Ambassador Cruises’ chief executive, Christian Verhounig, said: “With more UK regional departures than any other cruise line, we have reviewed guest feedback and researched trending destinations to curate a wonderful and unique range of diverse itineraries for all types of traveller to many remote destinations that bigger ships can’t call at.

“With no-fly cruising from seven UK ports offering holidaymakers the chance to start their holidays sooner without needing to worry about airport queues, flight cancellations, luggage restrictions or exchange rate fluctuations, we’re looking forward to offering the warmest welcome at sea to many more new and returning guests in 2025-26.”

The price includes all UK port taxes and luggage porterage between your cabin and pick-up points.

For more holiday deals, we also revealed the hotel in Rhodes voted ‘best in the world’ by TUI – with two infinity pools and just one minute from the beach.

Elsewhere, we’ve revealed the tiny Italian island only locals know about, which is as good as Capri but much cheaper.

As well as the budget-friendly alternative to Corfu that’s hundreds cheaper, and fans claim has ‘better beaches’.
