The Ambassador Group is set to operate a fly-cruise schedule in the Caribbean during the 2025-26 winter season.

According to an announcement, the schedule will be jointly operated by CFC and Ambassador Cruise Line, in partnership with European travel agency Corendon.

The itineraries are set to be operated by the Renaissance, with departures from the ports of Barbados, Martinique and Curaçao starting in October 2025.

Marking the group’s entrance into the fly-cruise market, the cruises will combine source markets from the UK, France and the Netherlands.

The operation is said to enhance Ambassador’s year-round operations, which currently has ships sailing from ports in the United Kingdom and France.

Already available for bookings on Corendon’s Dutch website, the schedule includes a series of ten- and 11-night cruises to the Southern Caribbean.

Itineraries are set to visit destinations in the region, including St. Kitts, Guadeloupe, Martinique, Antigua, St. Maarten, Tortola and Bonaire.

For Dutch passengers, the fly-cruise package will include departures from Curaçao, as well as flights departing from Amsterdam operated by Corendon.

In addition to up to seven-night hotel stays, the product also includes transfers and English- and Dutch-speaking guides and crew members.

Ten sailings from Willemstad are currently available for bookings, with departures scheduled through late February 2026.

According to Corendon’s website, guests will also be offered cruise-only booking options, as well as a series of discounted extras, including exclusive Wi-Fi and beverage packages.

Originally built for Holland America Line in Italy, the Renaissance first entered service as the Maasdam in 1993.

Acquired by CFC in 2022, the 1,258-guest vessel underwent a major refurbishment before debuting in the French market in early 2023.

The Ambassador Group was formed earlier this month as the result of the merging of UK-based Ambassador Cruise Line and France-based CFC.

With most of its shares owned by Njord Partners, the new cruise conglomerate operates a fleet of three mid-sized cruise ships in itineraries departing from ports in the United Kingdom and France.
