The Olsen Way Highlights

Our team has crafted your itinerary with a focus on maritime traditions, the centrepiece being an extended call into Kiel, timed for the final day of Kiel Week. This world-renowned sailing regatta – where you can enjoy watching sailing events and an evening firework display – holds special significance for us as it was here, many years ago, that Fred. Olsen's grandfather surprise onlookiers by winning the special regatta at the opening of the Kiel Canal, flying the same flag you see on our ships today. Among the other nautical highlights to discover are the International Maritime Museum in Hamburg and Bremen’s U-boat bunker. Balmoral is small enough to sail the impressive engineering feat that is the Kiel Canal.
