Better still, anyone who books before March 14 will bag up to 30 per cent off cruises and on certain grades can save up to £562pp on drinks, with 20 per cent off their top Ambassador Explorer Drinks package.

There’s no need to panic if you’re tight for cash right now, as holidaymakers can secure their trip with a deposit and won’t have to pay anything more up until 90 days before departure.

If you’ve ever wanted to explore the scenic canals and incredible seafood restaurants of Hamburg, then this new four-night cruise will be right up your street.

Passengers will spend four nights on board Ambience where they can while away the hours in an outdoor hot tub, watch a dazzling show at the multi-tiered Palladium theatre or try their luck in the casino.

You’ll have one day to roam the bustling German port city before returning to the UK — with plenty of time to make use of the onboard spa and shopping facilities as well as enjoy the superb food.

Pick from a standard cabin or upgrade to a roomier Superior cabin, some of which come with a balcony and plenty of storage.

The four-night maiden voyage to Hamburg costs from £389pp, departing from Tilbury on April 6.

Once you’ve had a day of exploring, the ship will sail to the Isle of Skye before stopping off at the Orkney Isles, famous for its sandstone cliffs.

If you’re into wildlife then you’ll be in your element.

Head to The Crown, one of the oldest in the city and a former Victorian Gin Palace with ornately carved tables and comfy booths.
