More about Balmoral
Balmoral is the largest of the four Fred.Olsen ships, and takes its name from the Scottish residence of the British Royal Family.
The Scottish theme runs throughout the ship, with the names of the fine-dining restaurants relating to the Highlands: Ballindalloch, Avon and Spey.
Despite its size, it is still small enough to navigate through narrow waterways, providing passengers with scenic views.
