Balmoral to Newcastle in 2016

Fantastic news for all us North East people Fred Olsen has announced that Balmoral is to be based in the North East ‘whey Aye Pet that’s Canny !

As fellow North East lass I can say this is great news for us Northerners not to have to trail down to the South to pick up a Cruise! And why wouldn’t we want to sail out of such an  amazing City as Newcastle fun vibrant, heart of the North East.

This is a first and will sail from trom Newcastle from May – August 2016 what more can you ask for then sailing down the Tyne an amazing sight.

The Port of Tyne is also ideally placed for our ever-popular Norway, Scandinavian and Baltic itineraries, and we can save up to three days’ cruising time sailing from Newcastle to Norway than from Southern ports.

Balmorals cruise season from Newcastle will commence on May 21 2016, with a five-night ‘Norwegian Festival & Fjords’ cruise. Other departures include a ten-night ‘UK Castles’ sailing, which offers guests the chance to visit Balmorals and Braemar Castles – both of which lend their names to Fred. Olsen ships – and an 11-night ‘Spain, Portugal & Guernsey’ getaway.
