Following on from this year’s sold out Easter cruise, we are so excited to be launching our next Christian Cruise adventure visiting the Cultural Gems of the Iberian Peninsula aboard Ambience departing London, Tilbury July 14th 2027 for 12 nights.
Three fascinating countries. Seven amazing destinations. Thirteen days of discovery. This cruise has it all. We will take you to the historic dockyards of Plymouth to Portugal’s cosmopolitan capital, then on to Bilbao, where stunning historic architecture rubs shoulders with the Guggenheim Museum – one of the most futuristic structures on earth. Then it’s on to Le Verdon, gateway to the Medoc vineyards, and the perfectly preserved 13th-century fishing village of Honfleur, birthplace of romantic art movements such as the Impressionist School.
Alongside all the usual sights and experiences on and off the ship, we shall enjoy more great fellowship with DAVE & PAT BILBROUGH and their very special guests PAUL JONES & FIONA HENDLEY.
Paul & Fiona Jones met in 1982 playing opposite each other at the Royal National Theatre, married in 1984, and have spent many happy years as a married couple in show business. Paul, well-known as first lead singer of 60’s group Manfred Mann, earned gold discs for Do Wah Diddy and Pretty Flamingo, as well as for the original album of Evita. His current group, the Blues Band, is soon celebrating its 50th year with yet another album. Paul has starred on film in ‘Privilege’, on TV as ‘Uncle Jack’, and in theatre on Broadway and in the West End. Millions listened to his Monday night show on Radio 2. Fiona is been an accomplished actress and singer, and has worked in all areas of the business, from her acclaimed ITV television series Widows to leading roles in the West End, at the Royal National Theatre and the Royal Shakespeare Company. Their faith has played a vital part in their lives, and they love talking about the effect it has had in their marriage and long-running careers. This cruise will include star interviews, meet and greets and special performances from all the team.
Cabin prices are currently from £1,199, plus Ambassador are offering us either free parking or Coach transfer from Victoria station if booked before May 27th. This is great value at less than £100 per night with all food included!
We have a range of cabins reserved for our group- but once they are gone, they are gone! There is no extra cost for all the special group events and cocktail party which are always optional and usually take place when we are at sea so that we can avoid clashing with your shore excursions. We also request that the ship arrange 1st sitting dinner at tables near each other so that the fellowship and fun can continue, although you can request 2nd sitting if you would prefer. All of which is only available to our group.
Please join us by registering your interest at our page www.inspirationcruises.co.uk which will release your special group code and phone number to book to make sure that you are included as part of our special group on board.
