Balmoral, balmoral is the largest of Fred Olsen's ships but still has the warm, intimate and friendly atmosphere of the other ships and features 710 well-appointed rooms and suites  

Balmoral takes her name from the Scottish residence of the British Royal Family. The size of Balmoral is still small enough to navigate narrow waterways, such as the Kiel Canal, providing guests with some fantastic scenic cruising. There is plenty of space to relax on board Balmoral with a whole host of lounges and bars providing ample room and there is always a fine array of entertainment on throughout the day. The Scottish theme runs throughout the ship with the names of Balmoral's estaurants being influenced by the Highlands; the Ballindalloch, Avon and Spey. Whichever you dine in, you’ll be in for a treat as the Chef’s produce tantalising menus ensuring no two days are the same.
