Those flocking to Edinburgh for the Festival Fringe next summer could find themselves staying onboard a floating hotel.
A huge cruise liner will be docked in Leith from August 8-15 2024, carrying up to 1,300 guests in cabins and suites. The ship is set to be used as a hotel to accommodate tourists for the fringe.
Playbill recently announced a partnership with Ambassador Cruise Liner's Ambition, a sustainable and modern cruise ship. Onboard is a special Palladium Theatre for large-scale special events with exclusive performances for guests.

Cabins start at £179 per day, per person, and the cost of all suites and cabins include all meals, access to all the ship's amenities, all provided Playbill sponsored Fringe entertainment and access to luxury coaches daily taking guests into the heart of Edinburgh and back at night.
