Discover an intimate cruising experience aboard Balmoral, Fred. Olsen’s smallest ship. Enjoy five restaurants, seven bars and lounges, two pools and spacious open decks perfect for scenic cruising. Her smaller size allows her to navigate narrow waterways and reach destinations larger ships cannot, including Norway’s Åkrafjord, the River Seine and the Kiel Canal. With classic style, distinctive heritage and a welcoming atmosphere, Balmoral offers a unique way to explore the world.
Balmoral’s Ballindalloch restaurant offers a fantastic selection of expertly prepared delicious dishes to enjoy. Our delicious five-course á la carte menu changes each evening and is served to you by our attentive and friendly waiting teams. Choose from mouthwatering steaks, perfectly cooked seafood and freshly made soups; all accompanied by bread baked on board each day. Take the chance to sample our featured Treats of the Region dishes, created in line with some of the destinations you are visiting on your Fred. Olsen cruise.
The Spey and Avon restaurants have been carefully designed to really make the most of the large windows providing natural light and ever-changing views as you enjoy the same delicious five-course á la carte menus that are on offer at the main Ballindalloch restaurant. Freshly cooked breads and soups are on offer, along with succulent steaks, pasta dishes and melt-in-the-mouth desserts. There'll also be treats of the region dishes available for you to try, which are influenced by the destinations you're visiting.
The Thistle Restaurant is designed with a light and airy feel, offering guests a more informal and relaxed dining experience, boasting a fresh layout, with stylish soft furnishings. The casual, self-serve dining experience with table-service drinks is perfect for those who prefer not to dine at a set time in the Ballindalloch, Spey and Avon restaurants, or those looking to indulge in a late night snack. You can expect to find an abundance of indulgent dishes, expertly prepared by our on board chefs, with various breakfast, lunch and dinner options, and a tasty selection of complimentary afternoon teas with sandwiches, scones and tempting cakes. There will also be the opportunity to try various dishes in our Treats of the Region section, which are local to the destinations you're visiting on your Fred. Olsen cruise.
Our Colours & Tastes restaurant features a tempting journey across Asia, blending bold spices, fresh flavours and the fragrant aromas of the East. From delicate stir-fries to rich curries and creative fusion dishes, every plate is crafted to excite the senses. Embrace the spirit of Italy, where timeless recipes and beautifully balanced flavours take centre stage, bringing together comforting pastas, bright seasonal notes and thoughtfully prepared sauces; or experience the full flavour of the Grill, where every steak is hand-cut by our in-house butcher, selected by the chef, seasoned with precision and perfectly seared to lock in the flavours. From juicy, succulent steaks and tender, meaty prawns, to delicious plant-based steaks. Each plate delivers the deep, satisfying tastes of an exceptional grill experience.
Available to book on board only, this intimate event, from £100pp, offers true culinary enthusiasts an extraordinary multicourse menu crafted by our expert chefs. Complementing each dish are premium wines selected by our on-board Sommelier, who will be on hand throughout the occasion to introduce each pairing and share their expertise. For any new cruises booked after 5th January 2027, the price will be £120pp.
Join our talented artists in the Neptune Lounge for evenings filled with memorable performances. Alongside our own performers, guest comedians, singers and magicians will take to the stage to delight and entertain you. You’ll also be warmly invited to our ever-popular Captain’s Welcome and Farewell Parties, wonderful occasions to celebrate your cruise in true Fred. Olsen style.
Bringing the Olsen family's appreciation of art to life, The Olsen Art Studio on board Borealis is a light and airy space filled with arts and crafts materials for a variety of projects. For those guests who love to paint or draw at home and would like to refine their skills whilst at sea, or who perhaps used to enjoy art in the past and wish to take it up again, or have a particular craftring interest, then this is the perfect place to hone your skills. The studio will host classes and activities guided by different instructors, as well as providing an open space for guests to work on their own particular projects.
Keep fit by swimming a few lengths, or cool down after relaxing in the sunshine on deck in either of Balmoral’s large, heated saltwater pools. Located in the centre of Marquee Deck and at the stern of the ship on Lounge Deck, both pools are surrounded by open deck space and plenty of loungers, so are perfect for soaking up the sunshine or losing yourself in a good book. For blissful relaxation, head for the Jacuzzi and let the warm, bubbling water soak any cares away, while you chat with fellow guests.
Life aboard Ambience is all about choice - dine, unwind, socialise or simply relax as the world passes by. Enjoy leisurely days by the pool, elegant dining, lively evenings and peaceful moments at sea. Whether exploring the Norwegian Fjords, Northern Europe or the sunny Canaries, Ambience combines thoughtfully designed spaces, attentive service and a warm British atmosphere for a truly relaxing cruise experience.
The shops on board Balmoral offer everything you may want or need during your time on board, whether you're treating yourself or a loved one to a holiday gift or simply needing some basic essentials. Visit the Boutique Shop for perfumes, colognes and much more at Duty Free prices, or visit the Sea Cove to view our superb range of Fred. Olsen branded merchandise, including casual tshirts, jackets and gilets, tote bags and rucksacks, travel mugs for perhaps taking your coffee from the Bookmark Café ashore, or lanyards for your all-important cabin card.
If you enjoy working out, Balmoral's Fitness Centre is fully equipped with all the modern facilities and equipment you'd expect to find in your gym back home, including running machines, bikes, cross trainers, weight machines and free weights. On board Balmoral and across our fleet of ships, we run a variety of complimentary yoga, pilates or stretching classes in the Fitness Centre, which are suitable for everyone from beginners to regular gym-goers, run by our fully qualified Fitness Instructors. Join us for an invigorating Walk a Mile session or a relaxing sunrise pilates or yoga class out on deck. We also have circuits, fitball or legs, bums & tums sessions. Details of classes can be found in your Daily Times each day.
Named after one of the largest sailing ships owned by the Olsen family in 1892 and decorated to resemble a British pub, the Morning Light Pub has a welcoming atmosphere and traditional style. Open throughout the day and the evening, it’s the ideal place to relax and socialise with friends both old and new. Featuring a well-stocked bar with a collection of beer and cider, including both British and international classics, and a selection from independent breweries close to our office in Ipswich, sip a drink and listen to our resident singers and guitarists, or take part in the popular (and competitive!) Fred. Olsen quiz.
Our serene Earth Room is designed for those inspired by and curious about our remarkable planet. Featuring a unique collection of books individually picked by Fred. Olsen, covering topics like evolution, climate change, recycling, carbon footprints, and fossil fuels, along with tips on how we can all live more sustainably. There are also videos to view and digital literature to read, all of which are intended to be thought-provoking and conversation starters, making the Earth Room ideal for small groups to discuss relevant issues or simply learn more about our extraordinary world.
