Adventures with Amanda and Mark

13/10/2026

We never thought we'd get to sail around the coast of Cornwall… but that’s exactly what we did on our first sea day aboard our Ambassador cruise! 🚢

Heading from Bristol to Cherbourg, our first port of call in France 🇫🇷 we sailed between the western tip of Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly, waving to all our friends back home as we passed! 👋😂

This is why we love travelling - especially cruising! You get to experience things you never imagined you would.

🪷 A little sea day relaxation… included in your cruise fare! 🌊

We don’t usually spend much time in the spa on a cruise, but the Green Spa aboard Ambassador Cruise Line Ambition might have changed that! 💜

On many cruise ships, you pay extra to use the saunas and steam rooms, so discovering these facilities were included was a lovely surprise.

And they weren’t just included - they were spacious, with gorgeous sea views. Such a lovely place to unwind for a few hours while sailing to our next destination 🚢

✨ Two saunas
✨ A steam room
✨ A relaxation room… where Mark got so relaxed he dozed off! 😂

Would you make use of these facilities on a cruise, or would you rather be out on deck?

Happy Sunday 👋🏻

Our latest vlog from our European Motorhome trip is now available to watch and what a fun couple of days we had into very different places!

If you've never been to Triberg in Germany or Eguisheim in France, grab yourself a glass of vino or a b**r or two and join us for 20 mins of motorhoming adventures on a fairytale road trip 😂

Welcome on board Ambition 🚢💜

This is our second cruise with Ambassador Cruise Line, and our first thought when we saw Ambition was how small and dinky she looked! 🥰

We arrived at our allocated embarkation time of 1.30pm, but were met with quite a queue. We wondered whether some passengers had arrived before their time slots, as we waited around 50 minutes to get on board - probably our longest embarkation queue apart from our Virgin Voyages cruise last year!

Once aboard, we grabbed a quick lunch, dropped our bags in the cabin and headed to our muster drill. This was the old fashioned kind, with everyone gathering outside on Deck 6 at their assigned muster station. We haven’t done one like that since our pre Covid cruises with Thomson/TUI! 😳

Then it was time for a mooch around and a look at our home for the next few days 👀

For a dinky ship, there’s plenty packed in! Lots of bars and lounges, a library, games room, theatre, a great looking gym and a spa with lovely facilities that are free to use (treatments cost extra). There’s also a pool, two good-sized hot tubs, a couple of main dining rooms and several speciality restaurants.

Something worth knowing: three of the speciality restaurants share the same dining area, so each is only available once or twice a week.

Departure was delayed by some check-in issues and the weather. Mine turned out to be one of the affected check-ins, so I had to pop down to reception with my passport and check in again! 🙈

We were keeping our fingers crossed that the delay wouldn’t affect our arrival at the first port. But before then, we had our first evening aboard and a sea day to look forward to 🚢💜

Happy Friday everyone! 👋🏻

Guess what day it is…?

IT’S CRUISE DAY! 🚢🙌🏻💜

We’re heading off to Bristol to board Ambassador’s Ambition for a cruise visiting FOUR ports we’ve never been to before - not even in Millie! 🚐

We’re excited to explore somewhere new and share the adventure with you along the way!

If you’ve got any questions about the ship or the trip, pop them in the comments and we’ll do our best to answer 😊

Have a fabulous weekend, whatever you’re up to! ☀️

We’ve very kindly been gifted a VanGuardian alarm system for Millie the Motorhome 🚐

Some of you may remember that we were broken into during the night at an autocaravanners park up in Girona, Spain, at the end of the first week of our big trip in February. It was quite a shock and so many of you recommended VanGuardian afterwards.

One of our lovely followers even told VanGuardian what had happened to us while she was having her own system fitted and they gifted us a set for all of Millie’s doors, which we feel very privileged to have received.

Mark fitted it while we were staying at Rosehearty and was amazed by how straightforward it was. He had all the doors done in less than an hour. We’ve also got an indoor wall switch, so we can activate the alarm from bed before we go to sleep.

Having it fitted gives us extra peace of mind for our future travels, especially as we’re heading back to Spain for Christmas and New Year. We’d love to visit Girona again too… or would that be tempting fate? 😂

If you’re interested in a VanGuardian system for your own Motorhome/Campervan, you can use our promo code MILLIE5 for 5% off your purchase.

We filmed the fitting process as well, so we’ll share that video in due course! 🎥

🚢🚐 MORE GROUP ADVENTURES ARE COMING! 🚐🚢

Fancy joining us for an adventure? We’ve got plenty to look forward to! 😍

🇳🇴 Our Norwegian Fjords group cruise aboard P&O Iona sails on 17th April 2027, and you can still join us!

Lots of lovely people have already booked, including motorhomers trying their first-ever cruise, seasoned cruisers and solo travellers. It’s shaping up to be a fabulous week! ❤️

🎉 And we’ve realised we haven’t really mentioned this… you’re also welcome to join us for our New Year’s Eve cruise aboard P&O Ventura on 31st December 2027! 🤩

Sailing from Southampton for eight nights, we’ll be visiting:

✨ Oslo, with an overnight stay! Our first visit to Norway’s capital, and somewhere very high on my bucket list
✨ Copenhagen, a city we always enjoy exploring
✨ Kristiansand — who remembers us Segwaying around this lovely harbour town? 😂

Fancy seeing in the New Year with us? Comment NYE below or send us a message for more information! 🚢🥂

⚓️ We’re also looking at another group cruise during October half-term 2027, possibly aboard MSC Preziosa to Northern Europe. Watch this space!

🚐 And for everyone waiting for news about our Balkans motorhome tour… it’s still very much something we’d love to do!

We’re now looking at March/April 2028 - couldn’t make it work next year because we have something rather BIG happening… but more about that another time! 👀

🏔️ We’ve also been chatting about motorhome tours to the Pyrenees and the Alps, possibly even Italy and Slovenia. Plenty of ideas brewing!

🌊 Plus, we’re planning more Cornish Campervan Campouts! If you’d like to hear about future dates, message us with your email address and we’ll add you to our mailing list.

Whether it’s a cruise, a motorhome adventure or a few days together in Cornwall, we’d love you to join us! ❤️

Which adventure takes your fancy? 👇

🚐 A few snaps from our second Cornish Campervan Campout at Pentewan Sands! The setting was perfect and the weather was on our side ☀️🌊

27 vans and 51 people joined us - more than double our first Campout in Looe in July! One couple sadly couldn’t make it due to circumstances beyond their control and I know they were gutted 😢

We arrived at midday on Friday and barely stopped talking with everyone until we called time at 11.30pm 😂 We had even squeezed in an impromptu Q&A - never done one of them before 😬

Saturday morning saw around 14 of us go for a “bob” in the sea. Mark dubbed us the Blue Bottles rather than the Blue T**s 🤣 It was bloomin’ freezing, but everyone got in - some for their first sea dip at this time of year! 🥶

After warming up and having lunch, most of us headed off on a group walk to Mevagissey 🥾 Our inland route was diverted, but a couple of well-prepared walkers found another footpath to rejoin it… with a hedge or two to clamber over! 😂 A little mizzle on this walk was pretty much the only rain all weekend. Everyone had a mooch around the harbour town, and most of us found our way to the Cellar pub before catching the bus back 🍻

Saturday night we took over HubBox for lovely food, b**rs, cocktails and a quiz about our travels! The winning team scored 14 out of 20 which was pretty impressive! 🍔🍹

On Sunday, Mark took on a hilly 30 mile bike ride with a couple of the lads, while a few others braved another swim 🚴‍♂️🌊 Everyone else spent time chillaxing, exploring the coast path or heading back into Mevagissey. Some had to head home, while those staying another night enjoyed yet more chatting.

New friendships were made, old acquaintances reconnected and another little part of our beautiful home county explored 🥰

A huge thank you to Pentewan Sands Holiday Park Cornwall for all their help with our booking, and to everyone who joined us and made the weekend so special.

Hopefully we’ll see you at the next one! 🚐❤️

P.S. If you want to be added to our email list, as thought this would be easier to communicate with everyone, just send me a message with your details 😍

🚐☀️ Oh my goodness… we’re back from our Cornish Campervan Campout, and what a fabulous three days it’s been!

It was amazing to meet so many lovely people, and we’ve pretty much lost our voices again from all the chatting 😂

The time absolutely flew by! I’m not sure I took many photos or videos, but I’ll share what I have once we’ve caught up 😊

We packed plenty in…

💬 A meet and greet Q&A

🌊 A sea bob, where I got to wear my new RŌ Adventure bobble hat in the sea! It helped keep me a little warmer… although it was still baltic 🥶😂

🥾 A hilly walk to Mevagissey

🍔 A fab meal at where the team did a brilliant job feeding over 50 of us as quickly as they could!

📝 An Adventures with Amanda and Mark quiz

🚴‍♂️ A bike ride

And plenty of time chatting with like-minded people, chilling out and enjoying that beautiful Cornish sunshine ☀️❤️

Thank you to everyone who came and made the weekend so special. We loved spending time with you all, and hopefully we’ll see you at the next one! 🤩🚐
