Ambassador Cruise Line’s Sporting Legends Cruise raised an incredible £1,874 for Help for Heroes!
At the end of 2024, partner Ambassador Cruise Line set sail with a group of cricketing legends and sports personalities for a festive voyage with a purpose. The Sporting Legends Cruise featured well-known names such as Graham Gooch, Henry Blofeld, Jonathan Agnew, and Alex Tudor, alongside broadcaster Garry Richardson. Boxing legend Frank Bruno MBE also joined the trip, sharing his journey and larger-than-life personality with guests.
While the cruise offered a unique opportunity to hear behind-the-scenes sporting stories and enjoy the festive atmosphere, it also played an important role in raising funds for Ambassador’s Charity Partner Help for Heroes. Through raffles and book signings, guests helped raise £1,874 to support veterans and their families.
Veteran Kevin, who was on board with his wife, described the experience as one they will never forget.
Regarding the cruise, it is without doubt one of the nicest experiences my wife and I have ever had. We were made to feel as welcome as the cricket legends and sporting personalities.
“It was fantastic to see the support for Help for Heroes which was clearly displayed on ship by way of posters and video loop. Support for the charity was also mentioned throughout the cruise on stage and showtime.”

Kevin was even invited to dine at the Captain’s table as a representative of the charity, a moment he described as "one of the nicest experiences I have had."
Beyond the fundraising, the cruise provided a chance to relax and take in sights across Europe, from Amsterdam’s twinkling markets to the historic charm of Honfleur.
Kevin added "The staff could not have been more professional and polite, to every guest. We have never been on a cruise before, but the whole experience has made future cruisers of us".
