Braemar, the latest addition to Fred. Olsen's delightful duo is no young pretender, she is a thoroughbred; a perfect addition to her perennially popular sisters.

 She entered service just eight years ago to international acclaim. Many British cruise passengers will remember her as the Crown Dynasty. Indeed after construction was completed at the Spanish shipyard of Union Navale de Levante, she visited Liverpool before setting off for New York, where she was christened by Betty Ford.

With a displacement of just 19,089 tons, Braemar is slightly smaller than her sister Black Watch, yet almost twice the size of Black Prince. By choosing this latest addition, we are continuing the philosophy of offering our passengers the experience of an English country hotel at sea, rather than stay in an anonymous American-oriented hotel chain.
