Balmoral Balmoral is the largest of the Fred. Olsen ships – with a spacious Observatory Lounge among other highlights – yet is still small enough to navigate narrow waterways such as the Kiel Canal and retains the warm, friendly atmosphere you’ll find across the fleet. Balmoral is named after the Scottish residence of the British Royal Family, and the Scottish influence runs throughout the main restaurants too: Ballindalloch, Avon and Spey.
Braemar Elegant Braemar is the shortest of the four, with dimensions perfect for cruising rivers and docking in the heart of towns and cities across Europe. A timeless style flows throughout the interior, whereas stunning vistas can be savoured from the cascading outside decks at the stern. Unique to Braemar are the five-deck high atrium area, and the Coral Club, a cosy lounge for intimate evening shows, great music and occasional late night cabarets.
