FRED. OLSEN CRUISES / Balmoral / Baltic
By Hassell, Brighton on 6th Sep 2011 This was our first cruise
with Fred and I believe
the Balmoral is the
biggest in his fleet.
Obviously a lot smaller
than the US megacruisers,
but it still felt a
reasonable size with
about 5 bars...

FRED. OLSEN CRUISES / Balmoral / British Isles
By Atterbury, London on 26th Aug 2011 The Bamoral is a lovely,
spacious ship, and of
course because the pound
is so low against the
Euro, and elderly people
wanted to see their
country from top to
bottom at a late stage in
their lives, ...
