Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines, Black Watch was in Port of Tyne today and I was fortunate enough to enjoy a few hours aboard – before she once again sailed from North Shields en-route to wonderful foreign shores. As most of you know, I cruised on Braemer just 4 short months ago, so I was quite…

Two Weeks Until The Baltic And Braemar
Two weeks today and I shall be on my way to Dover to join Fred. Olsen’s, Braemar for a 14-night Baltic Festivals cruise. This will be my first experience with Fred. Olsen and my first trip to the Baltic so if I told you I was only a little excited I would be lying,…
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.

Looking At The Evolution And Future Of Cruise
I was introduced to an article recently titled ‘The Evolution and Future of the Cruise Industry’ and it turned out to be a very interesting piece.

Eavesway Travel Cruise Link Service

Fjords Cruise Stavanger
We awoke to find ourselves in a rather overcast Stavanger, with Fred Olsen’s Balmoral backing in opposite us. After breakfast it was time to brave the elements and take a wander around the town which is right by the terminal. Despite the weather, the town appeared quite pretty with many white wooden houses and other…
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…
