Balmoral
Slightly larger - and with a wider choice of facilities - Fred. Olsen Cruise Line's Balmoral is still compact enough to offer the intimate, home-from-home atmosphere for which the company is so well known. Named after the Scottish home of the royal family, the ship's public rooms also have a Scottish theme, although the onboard atmosphere is distinctly British. Enjoy formal or informal dining, a drink in the pub-at-sea, main shows and dancing, or take in the views from one of the bars and lounges. Two pools, a gym with fantastic views and golf practice nets are available for the more energetic. Or relax in one of the Jacuzzis, indulge in luxurious spa treatments or enjoy a book from the library.

Avon RestaurantThis beautifully designed restaurant provides a fantastic setting to enjoy a fabulous meal. Although offering the same menu as her sister restaurant, the Spey, the intimate nature of the Avon restaurant gives her a unique dining atmosphere. |

Palms CafeFor a lunchtime snack or if you don't feel like dressing for one of our formal nights, the Palms Café offers a delicious buffet. This restaurant is self-service, but the standard is as good as in the main restaurants. This is a little less formal if you wish to just pop along whenever you feel hungry, rather than waiting for the set dining times. |

Ballindalloch RestaurantEvenings assume an air of dignity, from the lavish affairs that are the Captain's Dinner to less formal evenings. Menus are varied and mouth-watering. The stylish Ballindalloch restaurant is the main restaurant on Balmoral, where your taste buds will be tempted by the fantastic dishes on offer. Whether it's a formal night or one of our special theme nights you will be assured of a wonderful atmosphere as you enjoy your meal. |
