Four UK airports to serve Balmoral from Rome
Fred. Olsen Cruise Line is to run flights from four UK airports for a series of Mediterannean cruises on Balmoral from Italy.
The 1,340-passenger ship will run cruises from Civitavecchia (the port for Rome) on starting on May 1 before returning to its UK home port of Dover for the remainder of the year.
Flights from the UK to connect with the cruises will operate from Bristol, Gatwick, Manchester and Stansted.
The programme begins with an 11-night cruise visiting Valletta, Crete, Kusadasi, Marmaris, Rhodes and Piraeus. Prices start at £673 per person.
The second cruise is a 10-night sailing from May 12 visiting Livorno, Villefranche, Barcelona, Majorca, Tunis, Valletta and Naples. Prices start at £670 per person.
The last cruise in the programme sees Balmoral returning to the UK, departing from Venice on June 11. The ship will call at Dubrovnik, Sicily, Sardinia, Gibraltar, Lisbon before arriving in Dover.
General sales manager Lol Nichols said: “Although she has only been in service for a short time, Balmoral has already built up a loyal following with many passengers booking future cruises on this lovely ship for either later this year, or next.
“Her open decks and excellent indoor observation areas make her the ideal ship for cruising such beautiful coastlines – the passengers will have a superb cruise.â€
