Your home from home at sea

We like to think that our fleet of four — Balmoral, Braemar, Black Watch and Boudicca — is very special. Each ship is different, with itsown unique character. In fact, some regular cruisers choose their ship before they choose their destination! However, all four share aclassic yet contemporary style and the warmer, more welcoming atmosphere that sets Fred. Olsen apart.

EVERYTHING YOU NEED

Holding between 800 and 1350 passengers, our ships aren’t floating Las Vegas-style resorts and they don’t have climbing walls, wavemachines and skating rinks. We see that as a real benefit. Smaller and with a more friendly atmosphere, you’re always welcome on a Fred.Olsen ship. And it’s easy to get around, without getting lost — without walking for miles.

On board, you’ll find everything you need for an unforgettable holiday, including a selection of bars, restaurants, lounges, shops, a salon,a gym, swimming pools and even golf nets, where you can practice your swing on days at sea.

With fewer guests, not only will you enjoy a more personal experience, you’ll find you won’t be fighting for space with thousands of others.The large windows and generous layout of our lounges mean you may well be surprised by how spacious and open the ships feel.

Food, glorious food Food, glorious food

At Fred. Olsen, we know that dining on board is one of the experiences that makes your cruise such a pleasure. This is why ourteam of expert chefs painstakingly plan sumptuous menus of carefully prepared meals, designed to make your mouth water.

Every day our menus are something special, with dishes varying from appetisers such as herb marinated salmon or crabmeat cocktail, toindulgent main courses like sirloin steak with a choice of sauces, pan-seared red snapper with scallops, slow roast duckling confit orbalsamic braised lamb shank.

Of course, we always have options for vegetarians and healthy choices too, with an emphasis on fish dishes inspired by our Norwegianheritage: so even if you’re watching your diet, you’re in for a treat! Our desserts are every bit as tasty (think white chocolate parfait ormango apple tart) and the sugar free option means no-one has to miss out. Should you have any special dietary requests, just let us knowwhen you make your booking and we’ll do everything we can to make sure that all your needs are met.

Just take a look at the sample menu opposite. sounds so good, you might find it hard to choose!

TREAT YOURSELF TO TRADITIONAL AFTERNOON TEA

Complimentary afternoon tea, served every day, is included in your cruise price. If you’re looking for something really exclusive, you’resure to be tempted by our premium Traditional Afternoon Tea service.

Held in the comfort of our Observatory Lounge, white-gloved waiters will serve you fine teas and a selection of freshly made sandwiches,delicious cakes and warm scones with clotted cream, while a pianist plays gently in the background.

Traditional Afternoon Tea is available for just £6.95 per person*. We heartily recommend it for anyone who enjoys being spoilt.

DRINKS AT UK PUB PRICES

Unlike some other cruise lines, we don’t charge a small fortune at the bar. We want you to relax and enjoy your holiday and not worryabout how much things cost. Our drink prices are really reasonable, with a glass of house white costing £3.75, a pint of lager £3.10, and agin and tonic also around £3.10 (depending on the brand of gin).*

We offer an extensive wine list with dinner — featuring a fantastic selection at sensible prices. You may even be tempted to celebrateyour holiday with champagne — and with Bollinger at only £45 per bottle*, why not?

Hong Kong

An experience of a lifetime! A big city with overwhelming bright lights and bustling urbanareas, Hong Kong is huge on entertainment, heritage, retail therapy, and dining. Theskyscrapers of modern day Hong Kong sit cheek by jowl with old Chinese markets andsampans and junks bobbing in the harbour. Full of unexpected sights of traditional culturemixed with twenty first century commercialism, the handover to China in 1997 has made littledifference to the city and it is as exciting now as it ever was. Discover Hong Kong’s uniquecharacter and history of yesterday and today!

THE FACTS

Geography: The territory is divided into four main areas – Hong Kong Island, Kowloon, theNew Territories and the outlying islands. 6.8 million people live in an area of just 424square miles making it one of the most densely populated regions in the world.Surprisingly, though, over 40% of the territory is given over to country parks.

Language: Cantonese is the first language, although as you might expect with its colonialpast, English is also widely spoken.

Passports: You will need a full British passport valid for a minimum of six months beyondyour date of return.

Visas: No visa is required for British passport holders staying less than six months.Non-British passport holders should check with relevant embassy for documentationrequirements.

Vaccinations: Vaccinations are recommended. For further information, please consultyour doctor.

Travelling time: Hong Kong is approximately 12 hours by non-stop flight from the UK.

Local time: GMT + 8 hours

Currency: Hong Kong dollar

For climate information please see page 198.

THE PLACE

Whether you opt to stay on Kowloon side or on Hong Kong Island is very much a matterof personal preference, but whichever you choose, you are never far away from anythingin Hong Kong.

Hong Kong Island is joined to Kowloon by three road tunnels and the MTR (undergroundsystem) and of course the famous Star Ferry – an essential Hong Kong experience, andfor a just a few pence, the best value sightseeing anywhere! For a taste of home, take agreen double decker tram through Central District. Nothing matches the warmth, colour andspectacle of seeing the city celebrate the Chinese New Year in Hong Kong.
