Named after the Scottish home of the Royal Family, the Balmoral is the newest ship in the Fred Olsen fleet and also the largest at 34,000-tons. The ship’s updated interior is inviting and warm, offering spacious public areas and comfortable staterooms. Guests can spend their days relaxing at the spa, lounging by the pool, exploring the ship’s library or enjoying grand views from the Observatory Lounge. At night, guests can choose from a range of dining options, including the convenience and casual atmosphere of the Yacht Club Café, or the sophistication and impeccable service of the ship’s main restaurant.
