Balmoral arrives in Miami
Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines’ latest ship Balmoral has arrived in Miami on schedule to start a series of Caribbean cruises.
The 1,340-passenger ship, the largest in the line’s fleet, will run ten and eleven night Caribbean fly/cruises from Miami before returning to Europe and an early summer cruise programme from Civitavecchia (the port of Rome).
These Mediterranean fly/cruises are an innovation for Fred. Olsen, made possible by the expansion of the fleet.
Sales and marketing director Nigel Lingard said: “This is a very exciting time for Fred. Olsen as we see our fifth ship cruising successfully.
“Expansion is essential in today’s cruise market and it is important that we maintain our market share in the UK. Balmoral is very different from the giants that are being introduced into the UK market this year; she is a traditional cruise ship in the true Fred. Olsen style.â€
