Nailing a sailing

Ambassador Cruise Line's two-night Back to the 70s Sailing on board Ambition starts at £339pp and departs from the London Cruise Terminal at Tilbury, Essex, on April 4, calling at Zeebrugge (for Bruges).

Ambassador Cruise Line asked me and they are so confident of the value of their sailings, and the packed schedule of events and delicious variety of food onboard, they challenged me to have as much fun during a day ‘out in London as | would on Ambience or Ambition.

Armed with £338 (the typical price of a night's bed and board for two on an Ambassador ship), | began plotting a big day out in the English capital for my wife and myself, to put their value claims to the test.

My philosophy was simple and borrowed classic present-giving wisdom: we'd plump for things we'd never normally do.
