ITEM 7.01  REGULATION FD DISCLOSURE

On December 29, 2011, Ambassadors International, Inc. (the “Company”) and the subsidiaries of the Company organized or incorporated in the United States (collectively, the “Debtors”) filed their monthly operating report for the month ended November 30, 2011 (the “Monthly Operating Report”) with the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware (the “Bankruptcy Court”).  The Monthly Operating Report is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.

As previously disclosed, substantially all the assets of the Company and the other Debtors were sold on May 25, 2011 pursuant to a sale order entered, following a hearing, by the Bankruptcy Court pursuant to Section 363 of the United States Bankruptcy Code.   The Debtors are not currently conducting any business operations and will have no business operations in the future.   The remaining net cash proceeds from the sale of assets represent the principal remaining asset of the Debtors.  Such remaining cash proceeds are expected to be used to provide for the wind-down and liquidation of the Company’s estate and to pay post-petition administrative claims in the Company’s bankruptcy proceedings.  Accordingly, the Company does not expect that there will be any proceeds available for distribution to the Company’s stockholders or holders of the Company’s convertible notes.  The Debtors are currently winding up their activities.

On December 5, 2011, the Debtors filed a motion with the Bankruptcy Court seeking approval of a settlement agreement by and between the Debtors, Whippoorwill Associates, Inc. (“Whippoorwill”), as agent for certain of its discretionary funds and accounts, Law Debenture Trust Company of New York, as agent, and Wilmington Trust, National Association, as trustee (the “Settlement Motion”).  The Settlement Motion is seeking, among other things, to settle litigation commenced by the Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors against the Debtors’ secured lender, Whippoorwill.  The Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors, in turn, filed a responsive pleading on December 20, 2011, which objects to the Settlement Motion and further requests that the Bankruptcy Court convert the Debtors’ cases to a chapter 7 liquidation pursuant to the Bankruptcy Code.  A hearing is scheduled to address these pleadings on January 4, 2012.  On December 29, 2011, the U.S. Trustee filed its own motion requesting that the Bankruptcy Court either convert or dismiss the Debtors’ bankruptcy cases.  A hearing date has yet to be assigned to address the U.S. Trustee’s pleading.
 
This current report (including the exhibit hereto) will not be deemed an admission as to the materiality of any information required to be disclosed solely by Regulation FD.

Limitation on Incorporation by Reference

In accordance with General Instruction B.2 of Form 8-K, the information in this Item 7.01 shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, nor shall such information be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such a filing.

Cautionary Statement Regarding Financial Operating Data

The Company cautions investors and potential investors not to place undue reliance upon the information contained in the Monthly Operating Report, which was not prepared for the purpose of providing the basis for an investment decision relating to any of the securities of our Company.  The Monthly Operating Report is limited in scope, covers a limited time period, and has been prepared solely for the purpose of complying with the monthly reporting requirements of the Bankruptcy Court.  The Monthly Operating Report contains financial information that was not audited or reviewed by independent accountants, was not prepared in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles in the United States, is in a format prescribed by applicable bankruptcy laws, and is subject to future adjustment and reconciliation.  There can be no assurance that, from the perspective of an investor or potential investor in the Company’s securities, the Monthly Operating Report is complete.  The Monthly Operating Report also contains information for periods which are shorter or otherwise different from those required in the Company’s reports pursuant to the Exchange Act, and such information might not be indicative of the Company’s financial condition or operating results for the period that would be reflected in the Company’s financial statements or in its reports pursuant to the Exchange Act.  The Company undertakes no obligation to update or revise the Monthly Operating Report.  Results set forth in the Monthly Operating Report should not be viewed as indicative of future results, and the Monthly Operating Report should not be used as a basis for making investment decisions regarding the Company’s securities.  Important factors that should be considered by investors include, but are not limited to, (i) the fact that the Company and the other Debtors are not currently conducting any business operations and will have no business operations in the future; and (ii) the fact that, as the remaining net cash proceeds from the sale of substantially all the assets of the Debtors are expected to be used to provide for the wind-down and liquidation of the Company’s estate and to pay post-petition administrative claims in the Company’s bankruptcy proceedings, the Company does not expect that there will be any proceeds available for distribution to the Company’s stockholders or holders of the Company’s convertible notes.
