Jewels of the Mediterranean
This classic autumn sunshine cruise is crammed with memorable highlights, as you head south via wineproducing Porto, Portuguese capital Lisbon and Spain’s maritime stronghold Cadiz, into the Mediterranean, for sun-kissed islands and chances to discover Florence and Rome. Calls in Gibraltar, beneath its famous Rock, and the chance to visit sacred Santiago de Compostela from Spanish Vigo, complete the pleasure.

Ambience
With a name that in itself conjures images of warm welcome and conviviality, 70,000-tonne Ambience, measuring over 800 feet from elegant stem to stern, offers every modern comfort, exuding the friendly service and traditional values that Newmarket Holidays' customers have previously enjoyed at sea. Across her 11 decks, she offers everything to ensure that life aboard is a pleasure from start to finish. Carrying an average of 1400 passengers in 798 comfortable cabins, many with private balconies, the ship offers an overall sense of spaciousness, especially in the three-tiered central Atrium, in the near 700-seat, fully equipped show lounge, in which guests can be royally entertained each evening, and on her wonderful top decks, on which guests can 'soak up the sun'.
Travelling to Europe
Rules may have changed since you last travelled to European Union countries as well as Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway and Switzerland. The following are useful guidelines which will help you prepare for your next adventure. You do require government issued passport to travel.
Names - It is very important that all passenger names are exactly as per your passport although we do not require middle names.
Passport - Your passport must meet two requirements to travel to an EU country and to Switzerland, Norway, Iceland and Liechtenstein. It must be: Less than 10 years old on the day you return home (please check the "date of issue") and valid for at least 3 months after the day you return home (please check the "expiry date").
Visa - You do not need a visa for short trips to most EU countries, Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway and Switzerland. You’ll be able to stay for up to 90 days in any rolling 180-day period.
European Travel Information & Authorisation System (ETIAS) - Commencing in late 2023 or 2024, all citizens of the United Kingdom will require a ETIAS electronic form completed prior to their arrival into the EU and Schengen member countries. The cost for this travel authorisation will be €7.00 per person with exceptions for under 18’s and over 70’s. The latest information and further details can be found at www.etias.com.
