This is excellent news! The now-SATOSHI was before the corona/covid-crisis started already earmarked for CMV as AMY JOHNSON, see the brochure. I hope that my CMV cruise logboek is valid for this new firm, I was so close being a gold member with over 100 nights on board......

Just to make this clear, Ambassador Cruise Line was not started by the previous owners of CMV. After the company was put into liquidation the former CEO bought the passenger database and booking systems. He then rounded up a new group of investors to start this venture.

It seems, from what I am reading now, that despite new investors Ambassador Cruise Line is indeed CMV by another name. The CEO of the company, Christian Verhounig (I hope I have spelled his name correctly) has gathered about him his old CMV team and already there is talk of acquiring further vessels of a similar size the the recently acquired Ambience. Perhaps they will have talks with the man at SeaJets regarding his recently acquired yet laid-up tonnage.
