UK-based cruise start-up Ambassador Cruise Line has bought its second cruise ship as its first is poised to set sail in April.

The company, formed in 2021 by the senior management team of now-defunct Cruise & Maritime Voyages (CMV), has confirmed the acquisition of the 48,100-gt AidaMIRA (built 1999), which it has bought off Carnival Corp subsidiary Aida Cruises for an undisclosed sum.
