Braemar
The cruise at a glance
The Olsen Way Highlights
This cruise has been designed to take advantage of Braemar’s size, sailing rivers and visiting destinations out of reach to larger ships. A journey along the Guadalquivir will bring you to central Seville, where you can test out your flamenco moves with a local Bailaora (dancer) and admire Moorish architecture. Before cruising the Loire River, you will visit Nantes – gateway to the Loire Valley wine region; after which you will head to Rouen, famed for its half-timbered buildings and links to Joan of Arc, and well-placed for tours to Paris. Your itinerary will conclude with a scenic sailing of the River Seine, flanked by picturesque countryside and quaint villages.
Life On Board
Introducing Braemar
Braemar is the smallest ship in our fleet, which means she can get even closer to many of the destinations we visit. Her flatter hull means she can sail sizerestricted waterways, such as the ultra-narrow Corinth Canal, and dock closer to city centres.
