Balmoral, the smallest ship in the Fred. Olsen fleet, holds a special place in the hearts of both the company's dedicated team and its long-standing guests.
Despite her compact size, Balmoral offers an impressive array of facilities, including six elegant restaurants, seven inviting bars and lounges, two swimming pools, and expansive open decks—ideal for enjoying scenic views during her cruises.
Balmoral's smaller dimensions are a significant advantage, allowing her to navigate off-the-beaten-track itineraries and visit lesser-known ports and waterways. She has sailed up rivers to reach the heart of cities like Bordeaux and traversed narrow, picturesque routes such as the Kiel Canal.
Her crest pays homage to Balmoral Castle, the Scottish residence of the British royal family, reflecting Fred. Olsen's deep historical ties to Scotland. The Olsen family continues its legacy in Scotland today, maintaining an estate dedicated to sustainable forestry and renewable energy.
