Description

The Braemar has been part of the Fred. Olsen Cruise line fleet since 2001. Originally launched in 1993, it has changed companies and names many times. In 2009 it underwent an elongation that made space to bring its total cabins to 500. The interiors are very elegant in “country” style, with a lot of use of wood and ample windows which create a close connection with the sea. The central atrium, on deck 5, is certainly among the most dramatic architectural solutions, together with the terraced stern. The feeling on board is very “British” and the service is great as you travel the world on various cruise itineraries.

Truly special and beautiful itinerary on the Atlantic aboard the Braemar. We had a relaxing holiday, on a welcoming ship with truly extraordinary service. I certainly suggest it: good food, nice entertainment and a lot of relaxation on the sea.

Um bom cruzeiro em estilo inglês no Braemar, um navio que acaba de entrar na frota de Fred Olsen. Experiência positiva.
