With the introduction of the company’s fifth vessel, the newly extended and refurbished Balmoral - named in honour of the Scottish Royal estate - Fred. Olsen is taking cruising to a new level.
Although slightly larger than our existing ships, Balmoral is still compact enough to offer that intimate, homely atmosphere which is so much our trademark. The combination of Balmoral's elegant comfortable cabins, world class cuisine and diverse on board activities has been designed to appeal particularly to the rapidly expanding British cruise market.
*Note: From the completion of Balmoral's World Cruise on 29th May 2009, the ship will have a totally smoke free indoors environment. Smoking will only be permitted on cabin balconies and on specially designated areas of deck space.
