Fred Olsen History
Family-owned Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines proudly boasts a Norwegian heritage of seamanship and a fleet of small ships that offer an intimate cruising experience. Although the fleet doesn't consist of new vessels, all were well constructed originally and have been refitted since 2001. Two sister ships from the defunct luxury Royal Viking Line, Royal Viking Star and Royal Viking Sky, have reunited under the Fred. Olsen house flag and now sail as Black Watch and Boudicca.

This was our 5th time on
the Braemar and we chose
an outside cabin on the
Main deck which was very
convenient for
restaurants and lounges.
We were concerned about
noise as the cabin was
next to the lifts but we
had no problems...
I am being asked to be
fair and honest,so i
will.First let me say
that this was not our
first cruise with fred
olsen but it is very
likely our last.I am
sorry to have to say that
the shows while well
presented where let down
by the choice of
songs...
Just returned after 6
weeks on Braemar.We have
been on her many times
before but it will be our
last to Caribbean.
Overall we had a very
good time particularly
the last 2 weeks after
the Christmas cruise. We
found the ship to be
looking a bit tired in
places...
Our sixth time on the
Black Watch, and once
again we had a great
time, although 25 days wa
a bit long. The food and
entertainment were
excellent, as was the
weather. The drinks,
especially the wine are
becoming quite expensive...
Cruise through Carribean
was well organised, staff
courteous and obviously
well trained. Excellent
food - even Champaign
with breakfast if you
wanted it? Ship
comfortable but need to
look at timing of evening
shows as First Seating
finishers were...
Our summer cruise on
Braemar was a great
holiday. Booking
arrangements were
uncomplicated as
expected and car parking
at Dover always works
well for us. We were at
one of the car parks
somewhat distant from the
terminal, but as it's
possible to drive up,...
We sailed from Portsmouth
on the 10th Dec.2011 for
a Europe Christmas Market
Cruise onboard the Fred
Olsons Boudicca.
We arrived in Gothenburg
on the 12th and it was
raining, but we had a
good city tour and the
market was not bad
considering the
weather...
It was a good ship.
Excelent service both in
room and restaurant. Very
good entertainments. It
has been a very
confortable and relaxing
holiday. All staff were
always smiling and being
very helpful.
just returned from
braemar christmas and new
year cruise. Have
cruised with many
companies and Fred Olsen
10 -15 times.The service
as usual was friendly and
efficient. Food and
fellow table passengers
in Granpian restaurant
excellent...
