Ambassador Cruise Line has appointed former British athlete, Sally Gunnell OBE as godmother for their first ship, Ambience.

Sally will rename the ship at a special ceremony at London Tilbury on 19 April.

Ambassador is the first British cruise line to launch in the UK in over a decade.

Sailing from London Tilbury, the no-fly itineraries offer an authentic cruise experience predominantly aimed at the 50-plus traveller.

Sally is the only British woman to hold four major track titles simultaneously – Olympic, World, European and Commonwealth.

Since retiring from international athletics, the 55-year-old has become an advocate for health and well-being for the over 50s.

CEO, Christian Verhounig said, “We’re incredibly proud to have Sally as our first ship’s godmother. She is a wonderful advocate for the 50-plus market.”

“We cannot wait to welcome Sally onboard Ambience and celebrate this monumental milestone in Ambassador’s journey so far.”

Sally Gunnell said, “I’m delighted to be godmother to Ambience, Ambassador Cruise Line’s first ship. I’ve a fondness for Ambassador’s homeport London Tilbury being in Essex, the county I was born and grew up in.”

Being godmother comes with responsibility too and I’m flattered that I’ll be re-naming Ambience in April.”

Ambience will enter service on 20 April 2022 with a maiden voyage to Hamburg, followed by a further 31 sailings calling at over 90 different ports.

Itineraries will include the British Isles, the Norwegian Fjords, Greenland, the Arctic and Iceland, plus several short break cruises.

For the winter months, a range of exploration style voyages will sail to the Canaries, Cuba, the Caribbean, Cape Verde and Scandinavia.
