Firmly targeted at the British market, the atmosphere on board is friendly and relaxed, more akin to a country house hotel. Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines firmly believes that 'It's all about the people' and their staff pride themselves on their high levels of customer service.

Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines is ideal for those looking for a relaxed, traditional cruise experience. There is a ‘home from home’ feel throughout the fleet of four ships – Black Watch, Braemar, Boudicca and Balmoral – all of which are small by today’s standards, with the largest, Balmoral, carrying only 1,350 passengers.
