Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines’ ship Black Watch is going into dry-dock in December for an extensive revamp.
The work at a Germany shipyard is due to start on December 2 as the ship returns from a Canary Islands cruise.
The vessel will return to service on December 14 with a five-day European Christmas Markets mini cruise from Southampton.
The work will include a major refurbishment of the ship’s public areas, including a new casual dining area.
This will become the Braemar Garden, a casual dining area with seating for more than 120 passengers, replacing the Garden Café which currently seats 80.
One section of the newly created dining area will be screened off to create a 40-seat room which can be used for private dining.
Other areas of the ship will also have new soft furnishings as part of the revamp, including the Neptune Lounge, Piper’s Bar, Glentanar Restaurant, and the Observatory Lounge. Many bathrooms will also be refitted.
Marketing director Nigel Lingard said: “This is a major refurbishment for the very elegant Black Watch, and will improve and enhance the facilities on board.
“The new casual dining area will be fresher and more contemporary, and will offer a more spacious option for those choosing this dining option.”
