Balmoral is the smallest ship in our fleet and is well-loved by all of our teams, and long-standing guests. She has wonderful facilities - six beautiful restaurants, seven bars and lounges, two pools and lovely wide open decks which are perfect for when Balmoral is scenic cruising.

Balmoral

Beautiful Balmoral is small enough to navigate some of Europe’s most picturesque waterways, including the Kiel Canal and River Seine, so guests can enjoy hours of scenic cruising. She retains a warm, civilised atmosphere. Guests on board have plenty of space in which to relax, in elegant and comfortable lounges, bars and public areas, including the alfresco Poolside restaurant, the Marquee Bar with its comfortable rattan sofas and beautiful open promenade. Boasting two separate swimming pool decks, Balmoral is perfect for scenic cruising.

Spey & Avon Restaurants

The Spey and Avon restaurants have been carefully designed to really make the most of the large windows providing natural light and ever-changing views as you enjoy the same delicious five-course á la carte menus that are on offer at the main Ballindalloch restaurant. Freshly cooked breads and soups are on offer, along with succulent steaks, pasta dishes and melt-in-the-mouth desserts. There'll also be treats of the region dishes available for you to try, which are influenced by the destinations you're visiting.

Palms Café

Our Palms Café is designed with a light and airy feel, offering guests a more informal and relaxed dining experience. The buffet style service is perfect for those who prefer not to dine at a set time in the Ballindalloch, Spey and Avon restaurants, or those looking to indulge in a late night snack. You can expect to find an abundance of indulgent dishes, expertly prepared by our on board chefs, with various breakfast, lunch and dinner options, and a tasty selection of complimentary afternoon teas with sandwiches, scones and tempting cakes. There will also be the opportunity to try various dishes in our Treats of the Region section, which are local to the destinations you're visiting on your Fred. Olsen cruise.

Traditional Afternoon Tea

Each day complimentary afternoon tea is served in the Palms Cafe with sandwiches, scones and cakes, along with fresh tea and coffee. During sea days guests can book our Traditional Premium Afternoon Tea* experience, with a selection of premium teas served in porcelain teapots, along with elegant finger sandwiches, pastries and warm scones with jam and clotted cream. These can be enjoyed alongside beautiful views from the Observatory Lounge, with musical accompaniment from our on board pianist and the careful attention of white-gloved waiters.

An evening meal at Balmoral's Colours & Tastes restaurant makes for a really special occasion - enjoy a delicious taste of Asia in intimate Far East-inspired surroundings where the delectable food from Japan, Thailand, China and the Philippines is expertly crafted by our talented chefs. Delicious dishes such as bao buns, crispy beef and perfectly formed sushi,are on offer, along with other tempting and unique delicacies. With our knowledgeable team available to take care of the wine that pairs perfectly with the dishes you choose, dining at Colours and Tastes is certainly an experience you'll want to try more than once!

Balmoral's Vasco restaurant offers a fresh and modern take on some of the world's finest food, influenced by the cultures and flavours of India, with each dish created and prepared by our Goan chefs, designed to provide our guests with a insight into the culinary delights of their homeland. From delicious seafood to traditional spiced dishes and perfectly-grilled meats, every flavoursome dish is cooked fresh and to order. The bright colours and welcoming feel at Vasco are also in keeping with Goa's richness and warmth, and will have you returning for more.

Room Service

All rooms and Suites have tea and coffee making facilities as standard, so you can enjoy a pick-me-up first thing, and a relaxing drink at the end of the day. For those times when you’d like something more while you’re in your home-from-home at sea you can also order room service up until 11pm every day. Continental breakfast can be ordered in advance for delivery at your preferred time, while snacks are available from 10am onwards.
