(1) On November 13, 2009, pursuant to the exchange offer disclosed in Amendment No. 1 to the Schedule 13D filed by Whippoorwill Associates, Inc. (“Whippoorwill”) with the Securities and Exchange Commission on September 11, 2009, Whippoorwill exchanged $23,750,000 principal amount of 3.75% Convertible Notes due 2027 (the “Convertible Notes”) of Ambassadors International, Inc. (the “Company”) and received: (a) approximately $6,488,200 principal amount of the Company’s new 10% Senior Secured Notes (non-convertible) and (b) 5,471,442 shares of the Company’s Common Stock. Prior to such exchange, Whippoorwill beneficially owned 789,180 shares of the Company’s Common Stock. This total consisted of 364,618 shares owned outright and 424,562 shares issuable upon conversion of Whippoorwill’s Convertible Notes. Since Whippoorwill surrendered these Convertible Notes in the exchange, Whippoorwill’s new ownership total is as follows: 5,471,442 shares acquired in the exchange plus 364,618 shares previously owned, for a total of 5,836,060 shares. Mr. Greenhaus, as the President and Principal of Whippoorwill, may be deemed to be the beneficial owner of such shares of Common Stock, and Mr. Gendal, as a Principal of Whippoorwill, may also be deemed to be the beneficial owner of such shares of Common Stock.

(2) The 5,836,060 shares held by Whippoorwill represent approximately 22.2% of the Company’s total outstanding Common Stock (calculated based on a total of 26,285,741 shares outstanding as of November 16, 2009 as reported in the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on November 16, 2009).

Except as specifically amended by this Amendment No. 2, the Schedule 13D remains in full force and effect.

Item 3 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:

"Item 3. Source and Amounts of Funds or Other Consideration.

The shares of Common Stock covered by this statement were purchased in the ordinary course of business, or acquired upon exchange of Convertible Notes purchased in the ordinary course of business, by the Accounts (as defined below). The aggregate purchase price for such shares and Convertible Notes was $12,318,681.28. The source of funds for such purchases was assets of the Accounts available for investment."

Item 4 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:

"Item 4. Purpose of Transaction.

The shares of Common Stock covered by this statement were acquired for investment by the Accounts (as defined below). From time to time, Whippoorwill has discussed with management of the Company possible ways to maximize the value of its investment, and expects to continue these discussions.

On September 4, 2009, Whippoorwill entered into an Exchange Offer Commitment and Support Agreement (the “Support Agreement”) with the Company relating to a proposed exchange offer to be commenced by the Company, in which holders of the Company’s Convertible Notes would have the right to exchange their Convertible Notes for new senior secured notes and shares of the Company’s Common Stock. Pursuant to the Support Agreement, the Company and Whippoorwill agreed to work in good faith towards agreeing upon definitive terms of the exchange offer and the new senior secured notes and having the exchange offer commenced promptly. The Support Agreement provided that, if the exchange offer was consummated, Whippoorwill would be entitled to designate one individual to become a member of the Company’s Board of Directors.

On November 13, 2009, the Company’s exchange offer was consummated and Whippoorwill exchanged $23,750,000 principal amount of Convertible Notes and received: (a) approximately $6,488,200 principal amount of new 10% Senior Secured Notes (non-convertible) and (b) 5,471,442 shares of the Company’s Common Stock. Pursuant to the Support Agreement, Whippoorwill also designated Eugene I. Davis to become a member of the Company’s Board of Directors.

Item 5(a) of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:

"(a) Based upon the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, there were 26,285,741 shares of Common Stock outstanding as of November 16, 2009.

As of November 13, 2009 and the date hereof, Whippoorwill may be deemed to be the beneficial owner of 5,836,060 shares of Common Stock, or 22.2% of the Company’s outstanding Common Stock, held for the account of various funds and separate accounts (the “Accounts”) for which Whippoorwill has discretionary authority and acts as general partner or investment manager. Mr. Greenhaus, as the President and a Principal of Whippoorwill, may be deemed to be the beneficial owner of such 5,836,060 shares of Common Stock, or 22.2% of the Company’s outstanding Common Stock, which may be deemed to be beneficially owned by Whippoorwill as referred to above. Mr. Gendal, as a Principal of Whippoorwill, may also be deemed to be the beneficial owner of the foregoing shares of Common Stock."

Item 5(c) of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended to include the following additional disclosure:

"As described above in Item 4, on November 13, 2009, Whippoorwill exchanged $23,750,000 principal amount of the Company’s Convertible Notes and received: (a) approximately $6,488,200 principal amount of the Company’s new 10% Senior Secured Notes (non-convertible) and (b) 5,471,442 shares of the Company’s Common Stock. Whippoorwill has not effected any other transactions in the class of securities covered by the Schedule 13D since Whippoorwill’s most recent filing of the Schedule 13D."

"(d) The Accounts have the right to receive or the power to direct the receipt of dividends from, or the proceeds from the sale of, the shares of Common Stock reported as beneficially owned by Whippoorwill. The following Accounts hold interests relating to more than 5% of the Company’s Common Stock: Whippoorwill Distressed Opportunity Fund, L.P.; Whippoorwill Offshore Distressed Opportunity Fund, Ltd.; and WellPoint, Inc."
