CarnivalShips480 Posted May 17, 2023 #1 Share Posted May 17, 2023 I might have seen somewhere that you have to be a UK citizen to cruise on Ambassador? Is this true? Thanks in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kmw350 Posted May 17, 2023 #2 Share Posted May 17, 2023 I don't believe so. Give them a call to confirm though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martha1974 Posted May 17, 2023 #3 Share Posted May 17, 2023 Not that I’m aware of - my DH and I sailed with them in March and got talking to a Canadian gentleman who was sailing with his British wife. My understanding was that he was resident in the UK but still travelling on a Canadian passport. I think there is often an assumption that because they sail out of the UK and are very much aimed at the “British market” (whatever that means) that there are restrictions. However I also think they don’t make it easy for non-UK residents to book… I think Saga have a similar reputation. As previously suggested I’d contact them direct to discuss the options. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks in advance It doesn't look that way from their terms & conditions.

Milaandra Posted May 17, 2023 #5 Share Posted May 17, 2023 My husband is travelling on his Canadian passport. They never asked for his UK residency status. I would just confirm whether the travel insurance requirement pertains to citizens of other countries and if so, ensure they accept your insurance. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare insidecabin Posted June 3, 2023 #7 Share Posted June 3, 2023 There was a period during covid where any cruise line running cruises from UK were UK resident only. (Other countries had similar restrictions) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tim_london0 Posted June 15, 2023 #8 Share Posted June 15, 2023 There were several Americans on my cruise. Some of whom had flown in (and out) specifically for that cruise No-Fly cruises seem to be a thing more prevalent in the UK. Other nationals don't seem to have this aversion to flying somewhere to start their cruise holiday. (probably because for most of then, potential starting points are much harder to get to) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
