Ambassador Cruise Line has announced its inaugural Caribbean fly-cruise program for winter 2025-26, offering 10 sailings aboard the Renaissance.
This new program will serve UK, French and Dutch markets with departures from Bridgetown, Barbados, from October 2025 to March 2026. Each 14-night itinerary, except for two repositioning cruises, will feature Ambassador’s recently upgraded Renaissance, which joins the fleet alongside Ambience and Ambition.
This launch follows the merger between Ambassador Cruise Line and French operator Compagnie Française de Croisières. The program will include Virgin Atlantic flights from Manchester and London Heathrow to Barbados.
Christian Verhounig, Ambassador’s chief executive officer, said: “As we embark on a new and exciting era for Ambassador, I am delighted to unveil our range of exciting itineraries for winter 2025/26 on board Renaissance: a significant milestone in Ambassador’s journey to becoming a leader in the European affordable value silver cruise market and an appropriate answer to our guests’ request for a warm winter season fly option.
“This new Caribbean season really showcases what makes us special, and each itinerary has been hand-crafted to celebrate Renaissance’s smaller size and the opportunities it provides to offer the perfect blend of adventure, relaxation and cultural immersion.
“With a host of exciting winter itineraries, Renaissance allows us to reinforce our commitment to offering our guests the very best affordable quality experiences and a greater selection of sailings and destinations than ever before, with our team ensuring that each guest enjoys the ‘warmest welcome at sea’ effortlessly and sustainably.”
Highlights include the inaugural ‘Tropical Autumn Escape’ on November 17, 2025, visiting St. Kitts, Martinique, Antigua and Curaçao and the ‘Christmas in the Caribbean’ sailing on December 15, 2025, exploring Grenada, Tobago, Guadeloupe and Antigua.
Guests can also opt for a special ‘Valentine’s Caribbean Escape’ sailing on February 9, 2026, with stops in Curaçao, Aruba, St. Kitts and Guadeloupe, featuring an onboard celebration.
