Facilities & Amenities
When you step on board one of Fred. Olsen's smaller ships you feel at home straight away, avoiding the overwhelming, hectic atmosphere of leviathan cruise vessels and their packed public areas. All four of our ocean-going ships has its own distinct personality; what they have in common, however, is ample space, comfort and all the facilities and amenities you need for a relaxing and enjoyable holiday.
In late 2017 and early 2018, the whole fleet entered dry docks for thorough refurbishments, including new restaurants, refreshed lounged, upgraded bedrooms and much more, making each ship even better than before. From Black Watch’s 4K, 3D cinema to the new premium Poolside restaurant on Balmoral, we continue to invest in our fleet to ensure that cruising with Fred. Olsen is the best way to see the world.
