     Item 2.  Acquisition or Disposition of Assets
              ------------------------------------

     On May 22, 1998 (the "Closing Date"), Ambassador Performance Group,
     Inc., a Delaware corporation ("APG"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of
     Ambassadors International, Inc. (the "Company"), acquired all of the
     outstanding shares of common stock (the "Shares") of Incentive
     Associates, Inc., a California corporation ("IAI"), pursuant to a
     certain Agreement and Plan of Merger dated May 22, 1998 by and among
     APG, the Company, IAI, Wayne Wright and Russ Medevic (the latter two
     individuals collectively referred to as the "Selling Shareholders").

     The Shares were acquired for $4,300,000 as follows:  $1,800,000 paid
     in cash (subject to adjustment as described below) and $2,500,000
     delivered in the form of 85,672 shares of the Company's common stock.
     The Selling Shareholders were granted certain "piggyback" registration
     rights with respect to the shares they received.

     For each of the twelve-month periods ending March 31, 1999, 2000,
     2001, and 2002, the Company will be required to make additional
     payments to the Selling Shareholders in the following amounts: (i) for
     the first year, an amount equal to 80% of IAI's revenues from clients,
     prospects and account executives as of the Closing Date, less program
     costs ("Gross Profits"), between $2,000,000 and $3,200,000, 50% of the
     Gross Profits between $3,200,000 and $4,000,000, and 15% of the Gross
     Profits in excess of $4,000,000; and (ii) for each of the second,
     third and fourth years, 60% of the Gross Profits between $2,200,000
     and $3,000,000, 50% of the Gross Profits between $3,000,000 and
     $4,000,000, and 15% of the Gross Profits in excess of $4,000,000. Each
     such additional payment will be paid one-half in cash and one-half in
     the Company's common stock at its market value on the date of such
     payment.

     The cash portion of the purchase price is subject to adjustment as
     follows.  Within six months after the Closing Date, a determination
     will be made, as of April 1, 1998, as to the difference between (i)
     the sum of cash, prepaid expenses and collected accounts receivable of
     IAI and (ii) the sum of the liabilities and deposits of IAI.  If the
     amount calculated in (i) exceeds the amount calculated in (ii), the
     Company will pay the difference to the Selling Shareholders; if the
     amount calculated in (ii) exceeds the amount calculated in (i), the
     Selling Shareholders will pay the difference to the Company.  Of the
     $1,800,000 cash portion of the purchase price required to be paid by
     the Company on the Closing Date, there was a "holdback" of $50,000
     until the above calculations are finalized.

     The purchase price for the Shares was arrived at through arms' length
     negotiations between the Company and the Selling Shareholders, neither
     of whom is an affiliate of the Company. The cash portion of the
     purchase price came from funds raised in previous public offerings of
     the Company's common stock.

     IAI has been in the business of providing travel incentive, business
     meeting and conference planning services from its offices in Orange
     County, California. Its operations will be consolidated with those of
     APG in Newport Beach, California. 

     The Selling Shareholders have each entered into five-year employment
     agreements and non-competition agreements with APG, pursuant to which,
     among other things, each was granted, as of the Closing Date, options
     to purchase 7,500 shares of the Company's Common Stock, and the
     opportunity to receive further options based on achievement of certain
     incentive targets.
