New 2028 cruise routes announced

Ambassador Croisières has revealed a series of new cruise itineraries for 2028, with departures from two French ports: Dunkerque and Marseille. The cruise ship Renaissance, which can carry 1198 passengers, will focus on French-speaking travelers and emphasize traditional decor, friendly service, and high-quality food.

Itineraries span multiple regions

The 2028 cruise season includes a wide range of destinations, from the fjords of Norway to the Greek islands and historically rich Mediterranean cities. All itineraries will originate from French ports, emphasizing the company’s focus on domestic travel.

Spring departures from Dunkerque and Marseille

Starting in the spring, the Renaissance will return to Dunkerque for Northern European itineraries and to Marseille for Mediterranean explorations. A notable highlight is the return of the "Ireland and British Coasts" cruise, departing from Dunkerque from 16 to 24 July 2028.

New destinations and routes

New additions to the 2028 season include visits to Oslo in April and September, and first-time stops at Naxos and Kos from Marseille in May. The Adriatic will feature stops in Trieste and Šibenik, while Portimão in Portugal will debut during a repositioning cruise from Marseille to Dunkerque in July.

Cruise to ancient civilizations

A major new feature for 2028 is a cruise to Egypt and ancient civilizations, departing from Marseille. The itinerary includes stops in Valletta, Alexandria, and Cairo, with excursions to the pyramids of Giza. The cruise will continue to Turkey and Crete before ending in Sicily.

Arctic and Nordic destinations

From Dunkerque, Norway will be explored in summer and autumn, with the "Arctic Lights" cruise departing on 4 October 2028. Other options include a 12-day cruise to Iceland and the Faroe Islands in August and a 10-night cruise to the Baltic Sea in April.
