Restaurants on Ambition
Complimentary dining options:

Buckingham Restaurant
Deck 5
Located on Deck 5, Buckingham Restaurant is the main dining option onboard. You can head here for breakfast and lunch on an open-seating basis, whereas dinner is spread across two sittings, one for early birds and the other for late diners. On the menu, you can expect British favourites like fish and chips and cottage pie, and on formal nights (of which there are usually two during a seven-night sailing), you will be treated to an old-school Baked Alaska parade.
Holyrood Restaurant
Deck 6
Holyrood Restaurant, which is exclusive to suite passengers, opens daily for dinner with two sittings. The menu mirrors that of the Buckingham Restaurant, featuring a variety of dishes that blend traditional British cuisine with international flavours. You can expect a sophisticated dining experience with attentive service in a refined atmosphere.
Al Fresco Grill
Deck 11
Located just outside Borough Market on Deck 11, Al Fresco Grill is the perfect place for a light bite. You can choose from pizza, hot dogs, burgers and chips. As it is situated on the Lido Deck, it’s an ideal spot for those wanting to indulge in a snack in between relaxing on a sun lounger and dipping in and out of the pool.
Borough Market
Deck 11
Borough Market is Ambition’s casual dining experience where flavours from around the world come together. The buffet-style restaurant is open for breakfast, lunch and dinner and serves British classics like fish and chips at the Salt & Vinegar station, Asian cuisine at the Points East station and vegan food at the Graze n Grains station. Scone lovers will be impressed to see afternoon tea served here daily with a choice of sandwiches, sweet and savoury scones and plenty of cakes.
Chef’s Table
Deck 5
Described by Ambassador Cruise Line as the ‘ultimate onboard culinary experience,’ Chef’s Table is a VIP multi-course dining experience specially created and hosted by the Executive Chef. Served in a private area of Buckingham Restaurant on Deck 5, the Chef’s Table experience begins with a glass of fizz and an amuse-bouche before heading down for a tour of the ship’s galley. The Chef’s Table hosts a minimum of 10 guests.
Saffron
Deck 6
The menu at Saffron, meticulously handcrafted by Ambition’s Executive Chef, allows guests to discover and enjoy the tastes, sights and flavours of South Asia. The journey begins with an herb-infused cleansing drink, followed by a starter, a main and a dessert, which is usually served alongside chai tea. Throughout your meal, the Saffron team will talk you through each dish, how it was prepared and how best to enjoy it.
Lupino’s
Deck 11
Lupino’s is a Mediterranean-style restaurant. It was established in memory of Michelle Lupino, a cherished Ambassador Cruise Line team member who sadly passed away in 2022. The restaurant offers a relaxed, al fresco atmosphere, serving a variety of Mediterranean-inspired dishes, including fresh salads and mezze platters.
