A truly world class cruise ship with a light and airy design, Boudicca's scale will create a sense of warmth and welcome from the moment you embark. Her large windows will bring light to the subtle and elegant décor of the unconfined lounges, restaurants and public areas.
The essence of cruising is learning the art of relaxation, and time is in generous supply as you take life at your own pace. An early morning swim, a mid-morning coffee, attend informative port lectures, or settle down in a quiet corner with a good book.
In the evening, relax and be entertained in the lounge where a shimmering stage backdrop highlights spectacular cabarets. Port lectures, classical music and dancing take place on most days, so there is something to suit everyone.

The Maitre d' on board allocates your dining table arrangements. You can request first sitting (6.30pm) or second sitting (8.30pm) at time of booking. When you arrive on board you will find a Restaurant Seating Card in your cabin, which will advise you of your table number and dining time. This will be your allocated table for the duration of the cruise.
The main restaurants are:
Black Watch Glentanar Restaurant
Boudicca Four Seasons and Tintagel Restaurants
Braemar Thistle and Grampian Restaurants
Balmoral Ballindalloch, Avon and Spey Restaurants.
Ballindalloch is the main restaurant on Deck 6, whilst the Avon and Spey are more
intimate restaurants on Deck 10. Menu and service are identical.
Mealtimes are as flexible as possible - after all you are on holiday. Breakfast is normally served between 7.15 and 10.00am and lunch between 12.00 and 2.00pm in the main restaurants. A buffet breakfast and lunch will also be served in the Balblom Restaurant on Black Prince, Palms Cafe on both Braemar and Balmoral, and weather permitting, in the Poolside Cafe and Marquee Pool Bar on Black Watch.
'Open Sitting' evening dining is offered as an informal option in the Garden Cafe on Black Watch, The Secret Garden on Boudicca, and in the Palms Cafe on both Braemar and Balmoral. These informal restaurants operate on a self service basis, but a bar service is available.
Dress Code
Generally speaking, the style is informal, with gentlemen wearing jacket and tie (lounge suit or sports jacket is fine) and ladies smartly dressed. On 'Formal' evenings, gentlemen will prefer to wear 'black tie' with ladies elegantly dressed in cocktail or evening dress. As a guideline there are usually four formal nights on a two-week cruise. Details will be supplied with your travel documents.
Black Watch has a Games Room which is normally set up for Table Tennis, but is adapted to a Children's Playroom on cruises falling within the main school holiday periods. Balmoral has an Arts and Crafts Room that again will be converted to a Children's facility during the main school holidays. Braemar has a dedicated childrens playroom.
Babysitting
We regret that we are not able to offer any babysitting service.
