Trusted Customer

“Excellent service”

Excellent service following what had been a difficult process with an agent. Cancelled my booking with the agency after liaising with Terry at customer services at Ambassador then rebooked online direct with Ambassador in about 15 minutes with all the offers and deals that the Agents told us were finished and then that they were all sold out. So really pleased with Ambassador on line and brilliant service from them.

Susan Hodgetts

“Not a client-oriented service”

Very disappointing, once you have booked the voyage you are left alone with additional questions. The „guest Service“ takes 7 days to answer your questions by email. If you call them they will tell you that this service is only available if you travel within 4 weeks. If it is not possible for you to pay by car edit card they do not offer any alternatives. It took me a long distance call from Germany to inquire about it, then I was lucky and they sent me an email with the bank details.
