Ambience Complete Full Ship Tour | Deck by deck tour of Ambassador Cruise Line Flagship
Tour the ship that simply refused to be scrapped! Saved during the pandemic, she has been reborn as the beautiful flagship for Ambassador Cruise Line. Maritime historian Chris Frame steps on board the Ambience to show you how this classic vessel, originally sailing as Regal Princess and later a favourite down under as Pacific Dawn, became so stunning. She offers a unique blend of traditional nautical design and modern cruise amenities. Join me for the full tour and discover the amazing transformation: The incredible history of the ship, from the 1990s to its dramatic rescue. Why the one-of-a-kind Dolphin Nose design is still turning heads (The Observatory). A look at the fantastic venues, including the traditional teak Promenade Deck and the very British Purple Turtle Pub. The blend of classic design and modern comforts found in the main dining areas and entertainment lounges. Hit the like button if you think this classic ship was worth saving! What are your favourite memories of her time as Pacific Dawn or Regal Princess? Let us know in the comments below! Note: I did a tour of Ambience as a guest of Ambassador Cruises but I was not sponsored or paid to make this video. Footage of the ship at sea was taken during a P&O cruise on sister ship, Pacific Jewel. — 🚢 My History Website: https://www.chriscunard.com/ 📚 Buy my books: https://www.chrisframe.com.au/books 👕 Buy cruise merch: https://chrisframeofficial.Teemill.com/ 🎶 Check out my Substack: https://themaritimehistorian.substack.com/ 🛳️ Learn more about cruising at my Blog: https://www.chrisframe.com.au/ — Learn about Ambience's lucky escape: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OtyisUlYfm0 — Chapters: 00:00 Welcome to Ambience 00:54 The Observatory 01:25 Open Decks and Big Screen 01:37 Active Studio 01:57 Borough Market 02:28 Pool Bar and Reflection Pool 02:54 The Coffee House / Sea and Grass 03:16 Accommodation Aboard 04:00 Consulate Deck Viewing Area 04:11 Self Service Laundrette 04:23 Help the Channel 04:41 Ambience Deck Cabins 04:55 Boat Deck 05:00 The Palladium 05:16 Bronte's Library & Partnership Lounge 05:28 Purple Turtle 05:46 Promenade Deck 06:12 Photo Gallery 06:26 SW19 and London Theme 06:48 Botanical Lounge 07:02 Raffles Bar 07:18 Buckingham Restaurant 07:38 Shopping Galleria & Ambassador Casino 07:56 Centre Court & Reception 08:21 Dickens 08:30 Destination Lounge 08:38 Medical Centre 08:48 Green Sea Spa 09:24 Ambience 10:10 The Evolution of the Passenger Ship -- Tags: #cruisenews #cruising #ambiencecruise #ambassadorcruise #cruiseship #shiptour #cruiseshiptour #CMV #cruiselines #ships #oceanliner #cruising #emmacruises #ambiencecruisecancelled -- Join this channel to get access to perks: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCgk7SzYDkiXWWBfMqXYH0cA/join -- -- MUSIC: Licensed under Pixabay license: https://pixabay.com/service/license-summary/ @NikitaKondrashevPiano our thanks to Nikita Kondrashev: https://www.youtube.com/@NikitaKondrashevPiano Modern Classical History Piano: https://pixabay.com/music/modern-classical-history-piano-documentary-309287/ Smooth Classical: https://pixabay.com/music//?utm_source=link-attribution&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=music&utm_content=255443 Piano Calm Inspiring: https://pixabay.com/music/modern-classical-piano-calm-inspiring-255443/
