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.

I have just returned from
a fantastic trip on-board
the Blackwatch to the
Norwegian Fjords. We
visited a few places -
Stavanger, Flam, Bergen,
Kristiansand and Oslo. We
were supposed to visit
Olden, but the sea was
too rough and we had to
miss that port (and...
Our Easter break this
year was on Fred Olsen's
Boudicca for two weeks to
the Mediterranean or so
we expected! On this
ocassion we took our 32
year old son on his first
cruise experience it

expected as follows:

Having known this ship
when she was the Royal
Viking Sky and one of
three sister ships for
the exclusive five star
Royal Viking Line, I
thought it might be
rather fun to set sail on
this mini cruise to see
how well, or otherwise,
the ship has fared in...
We were booked on the
Balmoral canaries cruise
sailing on the
29th April and returning
on the 12th May.
BUT, from the very start
the the trip was to go
wrong.
Firstly we were informed
that Balmoral would be a
little late
docking at southhampton,
well that...
The Ship departed at
23.00 hrs instead of
17.30. It failed to call
in Ostend. We wanted a
table for 2 and got table
for 6. We were herded
into breakfast and lunch
and told where to sit
..free seating ???? The
ship is very worn and
could do with a update...
Boudicca to
Iberia.....this was my
8th cruise on this lovely
ship. You can tell she is
a firm favourite with
me!
This was the Easter
cruise from Southampton.
Ports of call Portimao,
Barcelona, Almeria,
Gibraltar (we missed
Ceuta because strong

We sailed from
Southampton on the 16th
April. We generally
enjoyed the trip.
The Boudicca staff were
generally friendly and
helpful. The food was
excellent and our cabin
quite reasonable in spite
of having an inside
cabin on level 4...
Extremely dissappointed
with mini cruise to Bruge
and Amsterdam. Braemar
failed to dock at
Ostende. Captain blamed
it on the wind(force
four) and the strong
perigean tidal currents.
Does he not have tidal
atlas and tide tables??
He also failed to arrange
