On an immersive journey of discovery encompassing five captivating cities, capture the beauty and diverse culture of some of France and Spain’s most engrossing regions. In beautiful Bordeaux, you’ll benefit from Balmoral’s ability to dock alongside the promenade; simply walk the length of your ship’s gangway and you’re in the city’s UNESCO-listed centre, perfectly placed to discover highlights – such as Cathédrale Saint-André, the Grand Théâtre and Cité du Vin – bursting with rich history and wine heritage. Alternatively, for an in-depth insight into famous wine culture, visit one of Medoc’s small family run vineyards, to learn about producing the legendary local tipples, and taste them at source too.
Visiting Spain’s verdant northernmost regions provides plenty of opportunities for memorable cultural discovery too. You’ll call at the Basque town of Getxo, gateway to Bilbao – famed for its iconic Guggenheim Museum and prestigious restaurants serving traditional local cuisine – and the legendary Rioja wine vineyards; and at Gijon for tours to Avilés,– home of the world renowned Oscar Niemeyer International Cultural Centre and several fantastic cider houses. Returning to France, a rare visit to Saint Malo on the gorgeous coast of Brittany allows time to visit the magnificent fortified island of Mont-Saint-Michel, while Honfleur is sure to delight with its fascinating maritime heritage and charming Vieux Basin district.

Located on Spain’s Atlantic Coastline, lively Gijon is one of Spain’s most important port cities.[ReadMoreMob] With a seafaring history and maritime heritage that dates back to Roman times, Gijon has – as you might expect – a large number of historic buildings, monuments and museums to enjoy as well as gorgeous beaches and beautiful landscapes.

Originally a fortified island, the walled city of St Malo at the mouth of the River Rance on France’s Brittany coast, is now connected to the mainland by a 'Sillon' causeway. Visiting this atmospheric port, once a stronghold for privateers (pirates approved by the king), is like stepping back in time.
The walls of St Malo, largely destroyed in World War II, have been painstakingly reconstructed. A magnificent grey granite citadel protects the old city, the cobbled streets of which are packed with interesting shops, restaurants, bars and cafés.[ReadMoreMob] The main gate is Porte St-Vincent, home to the castle and town museum, and an eclectic mix of exhibits including maps and local artefacts. Saint-Malo Cathedral, built in Romanesque and Gothic styles, makes an impressive centrepiece.
From the beach outside the citadel it’s possible to walk at low tide to the small island of Grand-Bé, to see the tomb of the 19th century politician and writer, Chateaubriand. To the south is where the original inhabitants lived. They were converted to Christianity by St Malou, after whom they named the impregnable island when they moved there in the 12th century.

Historic Honfleur in northern France's Lower Normandy region is a quaint little port with a rich cultural and artistic heritage. One of France’s most visited towns, Honfleur – with its beautiful 15th and 16th century architecture and distinctive harbour – was the inspiration for Impressionist painters and poets.
Vieux-Bassin, Honfleur’s colourful old harbour, is lined with 16th to 18th-century lofty slate-and-timber fronted houses. Its sloping cobbled streets have long been a subject for artists including Claude Monet and native son, Eugène Boudin.[ReadMoreMob]
A visit to the 15th century St. Catherine's Church, a vaulted timber structure erected by shipbuilders, is a must, as is the maritime museum and Notre Dame de Grâce – a 17th century chapel containing various paintings and models. The chapel also offers fabulous views of the town, the Seine estuary and the impressively-engineered Normandy Bridge that crosses it.

The Fred. Olsen Difference
Our size advantage means we can take you to places that some of the larger cruise vessels simply can’t. We dock close to the heart of some of the world’s most beautiful cities and can take you on scenic cruising adventures showcasing inspirational landscapes. Our itineraries are expertly crafted to make the most of this advantage.
Aboard our smaller, friendlier ships you'll find there's plenty of room to stretch out by the pool, enjoy a drink and great conversation with like-minded guests, and make the most of your time away. Sailing with hundreds, not thousands, of others allows you to get ashore faster too, and make the most of each destination.
Each member of the Fred. Olsen team has been carefully selected for their warm and welcoming personalities. The quality of our people, supported by training and development, ensures they will give you a great holiday. In fact, 97% of guests rated Fred. Olsen’s friendly, attentive staff ‘Excellent’ or ‘Good’.
About Your Ship
Balmoral is the largest of Fred. Olsen's smaller, friendly ocean-going cruise ships – with capacity for up to 1,350 guests – yet is still small enough to navigate narrow waterways such as Kiel Canal and bring inspirational sights and experiences closer to you. Like the rest of the fleet, Balmoral retains a warm, welcoming atmosphere and features comfortable accommodation and lounges, stylish restaurants and plenty of open-deck space.
