🎶 Greatest Hits at Sea: Ambassador and Greatest Hits Radio Set Sail Again!
The Greatest Hits Radio Escape II onboard Ambassador Cruise Lines
🎶 Ambassador and Greatest Hits Radio Set Sail Again! 🎶
Ambassador Cruise Line is turning up the volume once again — and we couldn’t be more excited! Following the incredible success of last year’s award-winning sailing, the Greatest Hits Radio Escape is back for 2026… bigger, bolder and brimming with entertainment.
Departing 27 March 2026 from the London Cruise Terminal in Tilbury, the Greatest Hits Radio Escape II will take guests on a seven-day voyage aboard Ambience, calling at Bremerhaven, Amsterdam, Rotterdam and Zeebrugge for Bruges.

And what a line-up! Guests will be joined by some of the station’s biggest names — Ken Bruce, Jenny Powell, Kate Thornton and Jackie Brambles — all on board and ready to bring that signature Greatest Hits energy to sea. Expect DJ sets, Q&As, a very special live edition of PopMaster hosted by Ken Bruce himself, and more than a few surprises still under wraps.
A partnership that hits all the right notes 🎶
This renewed collaboration between Ambassador Cruise Line and Greatest Hits Radio builds on their shared passion for connection, nostalgia and great entertainment. The 2024 sailing was a sell-out success, and this follow-up looks set to deliver even more fun both on air and on deck.
Ambassador’s Chief Marketing Officer, Gordon Nardini, summed it up perfectly:
“By combining the creativity and reach of Greatest Hits Radio with Ambassador’s famous ‘warmest welcome at sea’, the Greatest Hits Radio Escape II offers something truly distinctive.”
Familiar faces and genuine warmth
When Cathy met Jenny Powell and Kate Thornton at the Ambassador event last month, she was struck by their genuine warmth and real love of cruising. Both became cruise addicted after their first voyage — and it shows! Their enthusiasm is contagious, and they’re the perfect Ambassadors for Ambassador.
Add in the legendary Ken Bruce, whose PopMaster quiz has achieved near-cult status, and the ever-fabulous Jackie Brambles, and you’ve got the makings of a cruise that’s set to be as feel-good as the Greatest Hits playlist itself.
More than music 🎶
Of course, it wouldn’t be an Ambassador cruise without the extras: fabulous dining, West End-style shows, daytime quizzes, crafts, and the friendliest crew at sea. Combine that with the radio team’s live entertainment, and this sailing promises to deliver a one-of-a-kind experience both for loyal listeners and those new to the brand.
The campaign supporting the cruise will run right through to spring 2026, with on-air features, competitions, and plenty of chances to win your way on board.
