Christmas time with Balmoral

I recently completed a 6-day cruise on board the Balmoral, departing from Southampton on 17 December 2024. It was a short but intense experience, perfect for getting into the Christmas spirit. The Balmoral stands out for its warm and traditional atmosphere, ideal for a relaxing cruise. The common areas are elegant and well-kept, and the crew was impeccable, always kind and helpful. My cabin was comfortable, well-equipped and perfect for relaxing after days spent on land. The first stop in Antwerp, Belgium, welcomed us with a festive atmosphere thanks to the Christmas markets. In Rouen, France, the two-day stopover allowed us to fully explore this fascinating medieval city. The days at sea were pleasant, with a wide choice of activities such as evening shows, conferences and workshops.
