Ambience Review
Review of Ambience
The 1991-built MV Ambience cruise ship is currently owned and operated by the UK-based Ambassador Cruise Line and has as fleetmate Ambition (1999-built, fka AIDAmira/Costa neoRiviera). The vessel was previously known as "Pacific Dawn" (P&O Australia), "Amy Johnson" (CMV) and "Satoshi" (Ocean Builders' "Crypto Cruise Ship" 2020-2021). The boat was launched as Regal Princess (link to the 2014-built liner). As "Pacific Dawn", the vessel was operated by P&O Australia (Carnival Corporation-owned company) in the period 2007-2020. Under P&O, Pacific Dawn sailed ~1,37 million mi (~2,2 M km) and served ~2 million passengers.
While operated by P&O Australia, the vessel (IMO number 8521232) was UK-flagged (MMSI number 235059368) and registered in Southampton. Under the Ocean Builders' "Crypto Cruise Ship" ownership, the vessel was re-flagged to Panama (MMSI 355852000) and registered in Colon.
Ambassador Ambience is currently Bahamas-flagged (MMSI 311001109) and registered in Nassau.
History and ownership
On December 18, 2020, the previous shipowner (Ocean Builders Panama) announced that the "Crypto Cruise Ship" project is terminated and MS Satopshi sold for scrapping at Alang India.
In February 2021, Pacific Dawn was planned to leave P&O Australia. The ship's last cruise for P&O was scheduled for February 8, 2021 (departing from Melbourne to Singapore via Brisbane). The last voyage was bookable as short-break (Melbourne-Brisbane), Asia Explorer (Brisbane-Singapore) and "full farewell" (17-night B2B cruise Melbourne-Brisbane-Singapore). In April 2021, P&O Australia's fleet was also planned to leave Pacific Aria (now Celestyal Journey).
In November 2019, for both vessels were signed presale agreements with Cruise & Maritime Voyages/CMV UK. In 2021, Pacific Dawn was to be renamed to "CMV Amy Johnson", Pacific Aria - to "CMV Ida Pfeiffer". Following the CMV's collapse (filed for bankruptcy in July 2020), Carnival Corporation reopened both ships for sale.
- On September 29, 2020, P&O Australia announced Pacific Dawn's sale, but the buyer (new shipowner) was not disclosed. The liner was last refurbished (by P&O AU) in 2017 and scheduled for refurbishment in 2021 April. Pacific Aria was sold in mid-October 2020.
- A total of 14x Pacific Dawn cruise itineraries (departures planned for the period December 4 through February 11 including) were canceled. For these last-scheduled by P&O AU voyages see at the ship's Wiki section.
The new shipowner Ocean Builders (via the Panama-based company Wake Asset Co Ltd) reconstructed Pacific Dawn into a residential ship ("Crypto Cruise Ship") and renamed it "MS Satoshi". Prior to the Transatlantic repositioning crossing from Europe to Panama, the ship entered drydock at Gibdock Shipyard (Gibraltar).
Starting November 5, 2020, the first 100 (of the ship's total 777) staterooms were opened for purchase, with prices ranging between USD 25-50,000. Short-term stateroom rentals are also available. The auction for the first 100 staterooms/apartments ended on November 28.
The vessel's name honored Satoshi Nakamoto (Bitcoin's creator).
Ocean Builders company's CEO is Chad Elwartkowski. The "Crypto Cruise Ship" project generally targeted Bitcoin enthusiasts. The ship was marketed as a floating residence where payments (in all onboard shops and restaurants) can be made in BitCoins, in addition to conventional currencies. The access to the off-coast drifting MS Satoshi was intended to be via a 30-min ferry ride from Panama City. Some of the privately-owned staterooms on the liner were opened for rent as living accommodations or business offices.
In May 2021 was announced that the new brand "Ambassador Cruise Line" (UK-based company, with headquarters in Purfleet-on-Thames, Essex England) is the new operator of the renamed "MS Ambience" liner. Ambassador Cruise Line targets the UK source market exclusively, trying to take the place of the popular CMV-Cruise And Maritime Voyages (2009-founded, 2020-defunct).
- Ambassador Cruise Line's President and CEO is Christian Verhounig (Owner and CEO of CVI Group Ltd). The company's executive managers also include Phil Gardner (CCO-Chief Commercial Officer), Matthias Seeger (CFO-Chief Financial Officer), Nick Hughes (COO-Chief Operating Officer).
- The shipowner CVI Group Ltd is a London City-based company incorporated on August 18, 2020, with first statement date August 17, 2021.
- In late-August 2020 was announced that CVI Group acquired/purchased some of the CMV assets, including websites, intellectual property, and customer databases.
On the next photo is also shown floating "SeaPod homes" planned by Ocean Builders for MS Satoshi ship's residents and guests.
On November 18, 2020, the 29-year-old MS Satoshi left Malta en route to Gibraltar UK (arrived on November 23) where was drydock renovated (including repainting the hull and superstructure) at Gibdock Shipyard. The vessel's permanent deployment in Panama started in December 2020 as it remained at anchorage (off Colon) through February 2021.
On February 23 started the Transatlantic crossing from Panama to Europe (Colon to Valetta Malta). The ship arrived in Malta (for bunkering) on March 24 and docked at Port Bar (Montenegro) on March 27. According to rumors, MS Satoshi was resold to a new cruise company (not revealed at the time) which plans to start operations in 2021-Q3.
The 1900-passenger ship Ambience was designed by Renzo Piano (Italian architect). The vessel is interesting for providing connections between most staterooms (making it a great choice for families and group/party travelers). Following Pacific Dawn's drydock 2017, the ship now features the enormous Big Screen (outdoor theater / midship on Sundeck), new Aqua Park (waterpark with a dual-waterslide / aft on Sundeck), The Pantry (buffet-style market with fresh-food outlets), redesigned Atrium (decks 5-6-7), fully-renovated bars, lounges and wellness facilities.
Ambassador Cruise Line Ambience ship's max passenger capacity (1915) is limited to 1400, which as space ratio makes her comparable to many luxury cruise ships.
In July 2024, Ambassador introduced the cruise ship tours "Exploring Ambition" and "Exploring Ambience". The guided tours allow passengers a behind-the-scenes look at the vessel, visiting its galleys/kitchens, the Engine Control Room, the Navigation Bridge/Wheelhouse, and the Theater Lounge. The ship tour package includes a gift bag with branded merchandise (lanyard, souvenir mug, paper and pen); a Visitor Pass, a photo with the Captain (in the Wheelhouse), a Q&A session (with the ship's Hotel Director), snacks and beverages. Ambassador Cruise Line's ship tour is limited to 10 guests (per group) and is priced at GBP 89 per person.

Ambience Wiki
The Fincantieri Monfalcone-built ship Pacific Dawn (hull/yard number 5840) started operations under the name "Regal Princess" in 1991. The vessel was initially operated by Princess Cruises (between 1991-2007) when it was transferred to P&O Australia's fleet, renamed "Pacific Dawn" (on Nov 8, 2007, following an extensive drydock refurbishment) and homeported in Brisbane QLD (leaving from port Hamilton, Queensland Australia). The vessel was launched (floated out from drydock) on March 29, 1990, delivered on July 20, 1991, and christened (as Regal Princess) on August 8 in NYC New York by godmother Margaret Thatcher (1925-2013, UK's Prime Minister in the period 1979-1990).
By design, Pacific Dawn is sistership to Pacific Jewel (MS Karnika) and similar to Pacific Pearl (CMV Columbus) and Crown Princess.
The ship has volume 70285 GT-tons, weight 7002 tons, max width 36 m/118 ft, max draft 8,1 m/26 ft. The powerplant is based on two MAN marine diesel engines (model 8L58/64) with total output 38,88 MW.
For P&O Australia, the vessel (IMO 8521232) was UK-flagged (MMSI number 235059368). Pacific Dawn's itineraries offered Queensland roundtrips to South Pacific Islands ("Pacific Island Hopper" itinerary to Fiji, New Caledonia, Vanuatu, Espiritu Santo), also to Papua New Guinea and several Australian ports. The list of visited destinations featured Queensland, Great Barrier Reef (Willis Island) and Moreton Island (on short breaks). Pacific Dawn's Cruises to Nowhere were specially-themed Australian roundtrips (with no additional ports of call along the route). These short breaks were usually themed "Food and Wine", "Music" (various styles/performers), "Comedy", "Sports". P&O Australia "cruises to nowhere" prices are inclusive of all special activities and themed entertainment on the ship, including classes and workshops, lectures, presentations, guest performances, theme parties.
In early-July 2020, CMV UK (Cruise & Maritime Voyages) announced that the company's new flagship Amy Johnson (Pacific Dawn) cruises for season 2021 were already 50% sold. Bookings made through July 31, 2020, benefitted from CMV's buy-one-get-one-free cruise promo.
Between March-October 2021 the ship remained docked at Port Bar Montenegro. On October 14, 2021, the boat (as Satoshi) entered Viktor Lenac Shipyard (Rijeka Croatia) for an extensive drydock refurbishment, scheduled for completion in February 2022. The refit had planned installations of new machinery (equipment, wastewater treatment plant, water purification system, ballast water, scrubbers) as well as maintenance works and recertification.
MS Ambience ship's Maiden Voyage and Ambassador Cruise Line's inauguration in 2022 was rescheduled from April 6th to April 20th (4-night itinerary roundtrip from London-Tilbury to Hamburg). The brand's inaugural season was based on European deployments (7- to 14-night itineraries) visiting ports in the UK/British Isles, Baltic, Norway/Norwegian Fjords, Iceland, Mediterranean.
Ambassador Ambience's Master is Captain Hugh Maynard (born in Maldon, Essex England UK), whose maritime career started in 1979 as an assistant steward.
On March 31, 2022, Ambassador Cruise Line announced that the Ambience ship will be named by godmother Sally Jane Janet Gunnell (1966-born British track and field athlete/active between 1984-97). Sally Gunnell joined the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire/order of chivalry in 1993 (MBE-Member) and in 1998 (OBE-Officer). In 2011, she was appointed West Sussex's Deputy Lieutenant.
The christening ceremony was held on April 19th, at Port Tilbury, and attended by Christian Verhounig (Ambassador's CEO) as well as 500+ VIP guests, including media representatives, travel agents, company partners, suppliers.
In May 2023, MAN Diesel & Turbo France SAS (subsidiary of MAN Energy Solutions) retrofitted Ambassador Ambience ship's diesel engines. The MAN PrimeServ contract included installing a Selective Catalytic Reduction system (reducing NOx emissions by ~90%) and replacing both engines' turbocharger units with the new MAN TCA 66 turbochargers.
Ambassador Ambience refurbishment 2023
The ship's last drydock was in 2023 (initially scheduled for the period November 18 through December 10) and conducted by Lloyd Werft Bremerhaven GmbH (in Bremerhaven Germany).
The drydocking project included routine maintenance works, propeller shaft repairs, hull cleaning and painting, technical overhaul and machinery upgrades (including new propeller shaft seals), as well as classification inspections.
The routine inspections found that the ship's propeller shafts and their stern bearings were damaged (by metal grinding) risking oil leaking/pollution. The damaged parts (each propeller shaft is 20 m/66ft long and weighs 30+ tons) were shipped to a Danish company specializing in metal repairs. As the emergency repairs required more time, the prolonged drydocking affected the ship's remaining 2023 schedule. As a result, four voyages were canceled and Ambassador Cruise Line switched MS Ambience’s schedule to MS Ambition.
MS Ambiance resumed operations (Grand Around the World Cruise 2024) on January 6th.
"Grand Round The World Cruise 2024"
The next table shows the Ambassador Cruise Line's maiden Grand Voyage (2024) which was scheduled for the Ambience ship.
There were two roundtrip ex-Europe itineraries (both with duration 120 days) - out of England (London-Tilbury, Jan 6 thru May 5) and out of Holland (Rotterdam, Jan 7 thru May 6).
