Entertainment and Enrichment

Enjoy yourself with a host of amazing entertainment including quizzes, crafting, plays, cabaret, West End style shows and much more. We don't make a song and dance of it, we leave that up to you as quality entertainment shouldn't have to come at a high price.

Beyond those special moments to learn something new or show off a favourite pastime, on both Ambience and Ambition we have the sensational Palladium theatre that will whisk you away to lands near and far as you sit back and relax for an afternoon or evening of worldclass storytelling.

Waiting in the wings is our onboard entertainment team, the Ambassador Theatre Company. They have crafted an itinerary of performances hand-picked for our guests that feel as beautiful and diverse as the destinations you will visit in between shows. 

Here’s a selection of what they have in store:

West End Style Shows

Magical Movie Moments

A black tie hosted show celebrating iconic and memorable music from some of the biggest blockbuster movies of all time which made it into the Pop Charts. These special moments, captured on celluloid, will forever be synonymous with the movies they came from.

Love Is In The Air

A sophisticated evening of timeless music and glamour which is set amidst the romantic splendour of a beautiful avant-garde parkland at dusk. A touch of Rock Opera, Classical Crossover and Musical Theatre provide the backdrop of this emotional and empowering story. It is not love that confuses us, it is the way we love that does. Obsession, unadulterated or misunderstood, we go on a journey of discovery with bespoke ballads, duets, heartfelt laments and six part harmony mash-ups to form the corner stone of this Concerto style show.

Dance Dance Dance

Choreographed by none other than Strictly’s Anton Du Beke. Join the celebration as we take you on a world tour of the best of dance throughout the decades with guest virtual appearances from the star himself.

Enchanted Garden

A fantasy, dream-like musical experience set in a romantic gothic garden on a sweet midsummer night, complete with grand stone arches and sunken turrets. The theme of the show is love lost and love found, with a soundtrack that is a crossover of classical, musical theatre and pop, with bespoke musical arrangements and vocal harmonies.

T H E A T R E @ S E A

As well as the razzle and dazzle of the West End, Ambassador also brings you the drama, comedy and suspense from the theatre. Theatre@Sea is a unique and exclusive product to Ambassador, featuring a range of professionally written plays set to add a distinctive dimension to daytime and evening entertainment programmes. For example:

The Curious Case of Miss Grey

Commissioned by Ambassador, this is a slightly darker modern take on the original play by Dorian Grey. All the action takes place in a de-commissioned border force interview room at London Heathrow Airport. Think Line of Duty against a classic background, with a few surprising twists.

A Birthday Blunder

Set in a country house, a group of people meet for a birthday celebration that they’re not all invited to! A comedy of errors, frantic complications and mistaken identities as gifts and bedrooms are exchanged with ever-increasing plot twists and confusion!
So, whatever floats your boat, you can be assured that the show will always go on and the fun will never stop with Ambassador Cruise Line. That’s really what it’s all about.
