At 43,000 tonnes and carrying around 1,300 passengers, Balmoral is the largest and most recent ship in our fleet, and the first to bear the name of the Scottish home of the Royal Family. Balmoral offers a wider choice of facilities than our other vessels, yet it’s still small enough for you to feel entirely at ease. The public rooms are designed on a Scottish theme, but overall the atmosphere is entirely British. The main restaurant, Ballindalloch, takes its name from the Speyside village and castle, while our two other formal restaurants are named after the rivers Avon and Spey. You can dine informally in the Palms Café, while our first sea-pub, ‘Morning Light’ is the place for some of our evening entertainment, alongside the main shows and dancing in the Neptune and Lido Lounges. If you prefer something quieter, why not enjoy magnificent views while relaxing with a drink in the Observatory Lounge. Among its other facilities, Balmoral has swimming pools, jacuzzis and a gym where you can get fit while enjoying superb sea views. You don’t have to be too energetic – relax in one of the on-deck jacuzzis, maybe enjoy a luxurious spa treatment, or just top up the tan while reading a book from the well-stocked library. In 2010 and 2011, Balmoral cruises out of Dover and Southampton, offering a range of wonderful cruises from Scandinavian Christmas markets to the Canary Islands and the fjords of Norway. You could also enjoy the trip of a lifetime with two magnificent world cruises in January 2010 and 2011.
