From the moment you step on board our staff will be waiting to welcome you and direct you to your cabin. Your cabin door is opened either by the use of your security swipe card or by the use of a key that will be found just within your open cabin door. A Welcome Pack of useful on board information, and a handy ship guide, will be in your cabin on arrival.

All cabins are provided with complimentary stationery. Each cabin is also equipped with a hair dryer, television and telephone. Many higher grade cabins also feature a fridge - please check at time of booking.

Black Watch has a Games Room which is normally set up for Table Tennis, but is adapted to a Children’s Playroom on cruises falling within the main school holiday periods. Balmoral has an Arts and Crafts Room that again will be converted to a Children’s facility during the main school holidays. Braemar has a dedicated childrens playroom.

Please note that facilities are not supervised unless we have qualified children’s hosts on board. We regret we cannot provide supervised activities for the under 5’s. Parents and/or guardians must always sign their children in and out of this facility.

Babysitting
We regret that we are not able to offer any babysitting service.

All passengers will be invited to the Welcome Cocktail Party hosted by the Captain. This party will enable you to meet our staff on board and help you to get to know your fellow guests. A Farewell Party is also held on the penultimate night. Various other cocktail parties may be held throughout the duration of the cruise, for example for members of our Oceans Club.

In addition you may wish to host your own private party at a named venue of your choice on board (subject to availability). Personalised invitations can be delivered to your guests’ cabins on request. Prices on application.
