Who is “The Intimate Cruise Line “

A traditional Cruise Line who are proud to call themselves a brand that will make you feel at home the moment you step on board. With 150 years experience. yes they started in 1848 you can trust them to know exactly how to make your cruise the most memorable holiday you have taken.

Originally a Norwegian Company with strong links to the UK and a massive loyal following of UK Cruisers. All their ships are named after a famous figure or places from British History. Yes you have guessed it Fred Olsen Cruise Lines. So what is it that guests love time and time again and keep returning.

They are known for being a fleet of smaller ships which means they can get into the smaller ports and also depart from many UK ports meaning passengers have less travelling time to and from home. Southampton, Newcastle, Liverpool, Hull and Edinburgh to name just a few. Once on board the service, standard and entertainment is second to none and by the end of the first day most of the staff already know you by name.

The smallest ship in the fleet is the Black Watch with 804 passengers followed by Boudicca at 880, Braemar 929 and the largest and my personal favorite Balmloral with 1350. So no wondering around feeling lost or overwhelmed just safe and secure. Although older and more dated in decor, the experience you have whilst on board will make up for that. Although small they do have 8 swimming pools and 13 restaurants between them along with bars and show bars to be as lively or relaxed as you wish.

With some excellent promotions such as free drinks and tours you should give them a chance and give them a try.
