The Fred. Olsen difference We’re not interested in gimmicks like zip wires, climbing walls or celebrity chefs. We don’t have boastful megaships. We take immense pride in our fleet of smaller-scaled vessels that retain the style, ambience and understated quality of a country house hotel. They might not be as new as some ships, but we don’t automatically believe that younger is better; there’s a lot to be said for having the benefit of experience.


With the fifth generation Fred. Olsen as Chairman, we’re led with 170 years’ worth of seafaring heritage, and we believe we’ve found the perfect formula for you to get the best out of your holiday with us.


Smaller but spacious A smaller ship doesn’t mean less space, far from it. Each room on board Balmoral is comfortably sized, with all the facilities you’ll need to enjoy your holiday. In fact, our rooms are comparable to those on some of the mammoth cruise ships. While our vessels are on a more accessible scale, you can have just as much private space.


With fewer people on board it’s easy to fi nd a quiet spot to relax in peace with a drink or a good book. There’s room to really stretch out by the pool and unwind after discovering the world. The smaller scale makes for a warmer, more sociable atmosphere on board too. Like-minded travellers become familiar faces and in no time you’ll be swapping stories of your adventures over dinner. You can get ashore more quickly, and when you’re ashore, you’re seeing the best of each port of call with hundreds of others – not thousands – giving you a much more authentic experience.
