We have enjoyed our previous trips - all with Fred. Olsen- & this was our 3rd on Black Watch. It was like coming home! We were given a really warm greeting by crew who remembered us from previous trips & also soon made new friends. The food, service, entertainment, facilities and ALL the crew were superb and contributed to us enjoying the trip immensley, so much so that whilst onboard we booked 2 more!! The beautiful weather (much warmer than we had anticipated with only 1 wet but warm day) and brilliant, interesting places visited were a bonus. Of all the aspects of the trips, what we find really fantastic and appreciate most is the warm, caring attitude of the crew. Our sincere thanks to them all. Can't wait for the next trip!

We were on the same cruise and I can vouch for all that has been written, it was our best cruise on the Black Watch so far.

Wholeheartedly agree with your review. We did this cruise last year and went to Kemi and did the Arctic Circle trip and saw Santa Claus in the sweltering heat. Fantastic trips in St. Petersburg and Stockholm and all the other ports of call. Black Watch is a fab ship with a brill crew and we are saving hard to do this one again.
