AMBASSADOR Cruise Line

Ambassador is another cruise line to accept only vaccinated guests onboard and they state they will ensure their crew is vaccinated. Primarily aimed at the 50-plus market, they will run a number of multi-generation cruises over the summer holidays. These will be authentic cruise experiences. The new group is fully financed with no debt finance and have retained a few CMV staff to share their experience with the new team. They will still be based in Purfleet, Essex and sail out of Tilbury.

AMBITION --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

There are many Mistral Class war vessels, but this is the cruise ship class. You will see the same or similar ships called the Lyrica class, some operated by MSC Cruises. They were built at Chantiers de l’Atlantique, St. Nazaire, France. She was previously the AidaMira with and before that with Costa as the neoRiveriera. Whilst some may jump to question our banding them all together the strongest argument for this is that the first in class often gives ship and class the name. Lyrica is way down the line. Maybe it is a subclass as the Lyrica is longer and bigger, but these are similar smaller ships. The Lyrica class goes up to about 250 meters in length, over 2,000 passengers on 9 passenger decks.

About Us

Doris Visits is just a little hobby, and a way of helping people research ports and ships. It is our way of giving back as we are on the ships between 6 and 12 times a year as Guest Lecturers. The site is also supported by other guest lecturers.

Why Doris? It was a character Jean played in a TV show and we started the port guides as a little spin-off. It took over. I mean, rode into town and said this is it.

Who is Jean? Jean is a West End and Broadway actress who now has her own one woman show called Royal Mistresses, which she performs at guilds and on ships. Hence, she cruises – a bit. She now presents TV and is known by many cruisers for her Doris Visits port guides.

Who is Stuart? Featured in a clip in the 2024 Oscars – in the tribute to movie stuntmen – he was the Queen Alien in Aliens. Now, he points the iPhone at Jean when they go and explore ashore. He finished in movies as a director, and now writes cruise thrillers.

The grandchildren who sometimes travel and from their son Luke Aikman. He was the young Colin Firth in Fever Pitch and appeared in Freight. He is now a producer and business entrepreneur. Their daughter helped with the plot of the first four novels and is now writing with comedian Joe Wilkinson. Laura Aikman is known for being the girlfriend in the Christmas Gavin and Stacey, and Dyan Cannon in Archie. Some grew up with her Saturday show, Mysti.
