Lifestyle onboard your Fred. Olsen Cruises ship
On Balmoral, whichever class of cabin you choose, you’ll find elegant and comfortable accommodation with those all-important touches such as interactive flat screen TV and 24 hour cabin service.
The Promenade is a great place to stroll by day and watch the sunset by night. If you’re in the mood, you can stop for a game of shuffleboard or deck quoits before grabbing a coffee or a pre-dinner drink from a wide selection of lounges and bars.
With two pools, spa treatments and a host of other activities to enjoy onboard there’s plenty to entertain you on Balmoral, day and night.
Daytime cruising
Why not start your day with a leisurely alfresco breakfast at the Avon or Spey restaurants. Spend your morning with a good book in the cruise ship Library or let loose your creativity in the arts and crafts room where lecturers will be on hand to inspire you.
In the afternoon, you could challenge friends to a game of Bridge or Scrabble, enjoy a relaxing treatment in the ocean-view spa or just wallow in a pool-side Jacuzzi with a long, cool drink at your side.
Evenings on Balmoral
Night time cruising on Balmoral is a lively, social affair. There are plenty of comfortable bars where you can enjoy your favourite tipple and recount your day’s sightseeing with friends.
Head for the Neptune lounge for an after-dinner cabaret, laugh along with a stand-up comedian or dance the night away to a live band. You’ll find more spectacular shows in the Lido Lounge as well as the lure of the cruise ship casino, with its roulette wheels and blackjack tables.
If you’d prefer simply to relax over a gin and tonic, the Marquee bar is the perfect place to sit and watch the sun go down.
Dining on your cruise
Like to dress for dinner? You’ll enjoy a five-star dining experience at the Ballindalloch Restaurant most nights, including the fabulous Captain’s Dinners. Theme nights in Ballindalloch are a slightly less formal affair.
The Avon and Spey restaurants serve the same mouth-watering menus, with Avon suiting anyone seeking a more intimate atmosphere.
If you’d prefer not to have a set time for dinner, the Palms Café is a more casual dining experience, serving delicious buffet-style meals whenever you feel hungry.
