Balmoral

Balmoral

The Balmoral is named after the Scottish home of the Royal Family. Originally launched as the popular and well known “Crown Odyssey" of Orient Lines, it was built for long range cruising, with spacious public areas and well fitted cabins featuring excellent storage space. After undergoing a refit in 2008 the Balmoral will fall into the blend of traditional and modern feel of the Fred. Olsen fleet. A first for a Fred. Olsen vessel is an onboard pub. Named Morning Light, it is styled and decorated traditionally and will depict the century and a half history of Fred. Olsen.
