Launched in 1991 as Regal Princess for Princess Cruises, the MS Ambience exemplifies the elegant cruise ship design of the early 1990s. Designed by renowned architect Renzo Piano with a distinctive dolphin-like profile and a striking dome atop the forward superstructure, she brought Italian flair and innovative open deck spaces to the premium cruise market. After successful years sailing North American and later Australian routes as Pacific Dawn for P&O Cruises Australia, the ship found new life in 2022 as the flagship of Britain's Ambassador Cruise Line following an extensive refit. Today, she continues to offer classic, intimate cruising experiences for up to 1,400 guests. From a maritime design perspective, the Ambience remains timeless and graceful, making her a joy to illustrate in precise detail.
