Food is a big part of any cruise and on my recent Fred. Olsen, Braemar cruise, I enjoyed so many good dishes that I decided to photograph some of them and share them in a food blog. I have gathered a collection of images from the Grampian Restaurant, Palms Cafe buffet, room service, Marquee Deck bar…

Copenhagen with Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines
This wonderful cruise is sadly coming to an end, we are making our Kiel Canal transit today, at sea tomorrow and we then arrive into Dover on Thursday morning. I really am sad to be thinking about getting off. I feel like I have been on Braemar for a lot longer than two weeks and…
St Petersburg and Tallinn With Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines

Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines Braemar – My First Impressions
I boarded Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines, Braemar in Dover yesterday and as I have now been aboard for 24-hours I thought it would be a good time to do a first impressions blog – So here goes! Braemar is one of the smallest ships I have cruised on, but she certainly has a big heart…

Braemar Passengers Tell The Captain Where To Go
Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines has launched its most exciting, innovative and unique cruise yet! Braemar’s 15-night ‘You Choose Your Cruise’ sailing, which departs from Southampton on 10th October 2015, is a brand-new concept for Fred. Olsen, and quite possibly within the cruise industry as a whole. Guests on board will get to ‘tell the Captain…
Eavesway Travel Cruise Link Service
One of the most important things for me when it comes to cruising is how I actually get to the port of Southampton. I live more or less at the other end of the country so the cruise link service is vital, without it the only cruising I would be doing is down the River…
The Cruise Life At Sea With Fred Olsen
Tuesday shall bring the third episode in a six part series from Fred Olsen and the BBC titled, The Cruise: A Life At Sea. The series follows Fred Olsen’s Balmoral and her passengers on her 112-night world cruise which sailed in January of this year. So far the series has created a bit of a…
Titanic Memorial Cruise Doomed
It seems as though Fred Olsen’s Balmoral should never have left Southampton for the Titanic Memorial Cruise. Her departure was delayed by several hours because of severe weather, it is even reported that a life-boat was on hand on the southern Irish coast to offer assistance, just in case, and now it seems she has…
