Cruises on Balmoral
Departing from Newcastle, Southampton, and Rosyth, Balmoral will guide you on unforgettable journeys along size-restricted rivers, including the Kiel Canal, narrow Norwegian fjords and scenic Scottish coastlines. As part of our Signature Experiences, join us for "An Audience with..." as you learn how your Captain and his team navigate these scenic routes, and what it takes to run a cruise ship.[ReadMoreMob]
Balmoral will take you closer to tumbling waterfalls, little coastal villages and will dock in the heart of many of the cities you'll visit, so you can simply step ashore and be ready to explore. As you will have friendly and knowledgeable speakers on board with you, you'll have a deeper understanding of the culture and history of each fascinating destination before you arrive. You'll also discover breathtaking scenery and wildlife, and can enjoy seeing the world from the unique perspective of your smaller-sized cruise ship.
In 2025, you can join Balmoral on a selection of Mediterranean fly cruises, offering you the chance to explore the sunshine coastlines of Amalfi and Dalmatia and the scenic islands of Greece.
