Your cruise at a glance
Hand-crafted highlights
Our team has designed this cruise aboard Balmoral to exhibit the architectural masterpieces of Barcelona, the Italian Riviera’s Cinque Terre, Corsica’s Bonifacio and as Balmoral sails past the colourful Amalfi Coast, you can admire Ravello, Amalfi and Positano from the comfort of your ship. Embrace ‘la dolce vita’ – the sweet life – as you sample local Italian delights; while in Spain indulge in tapas, Jerez sherry and paella. Balmoral will also cruise serenely along the fjord-like Bay of Kotor, offering incredible scenery of the Dalmatian Coast. Immerse yourself in Croatia’s culture by exploring local markets, dining in authentic konobas, and enjoying local folk music. There will also be opportunities to discover Roman history at the ancient ruins of Paestum, Pompeii and Herculaneum, and you can also discover the rich tapestry of Balkan history at Diocletian’s Palace in Split and the Walls of Dubrovnik.

The handy checklist below has been created to assist in making sure you remember all the important things to pack for your cruise.
Visa and health requirements can change at any time. It is your own responsibility to ensure that you check with a professionally qualified source and comply with such requirements. UK passport holders will need visas for certain Fred. Olsen cruise holidays and will be advised at the time of booking. Your cruise booking information will also detail any requirements applicable to your holiday.
On certain sailings we offer two types of cruise fares; Freedom and Saver Fares.
Our single guests feel right at home on board our ships; Fred. Olsen have the reputation of sailing the friendliest fleet afloat.
Disembarking when your ship's at anchor is a very different experience to when it's docked portside. Getting ashore in this instance often involves the use of the ship's tender, which is accessed via the steps of a secure gangway.
When you cruise with Fred. Olsen, why not let our preferred luggage handling service provider take care of your luggage? Baggex will collect them from your home before you leave, and securely deliver them directly to your cabin on board. They'll do the same on the way home, too.
