Christian Verhounig, CEO of Ambassador Cruise Line, emphasized the company's commitment to offering diverse itineraries tailored to various traveler preferences and destination trends, particularly to remote locations inaccessible to larger ships. Each itinerary will be serviced by Ambassador's smaller, energy-efficient fleet, certified as International Maritime Operation (IMO) Tier III compliant, placing them among the top 10%-15% of sustainable ships globally.
Ambassador Cruise Lines recently appointed Carly Bowkett as its new business development manager for Scotland, the north of England, and Northern Ireland, reporting to divisional sales manager Karen Cameron.
