Reviewed By: Meecham, Hitcham on 25th Jul 2007
Cruise Line: Fred. Olsen Cruises	Times cruised before: 6-10
Cruise Ship: Boudicca	Sailed: June, 2007
Destination: Arctic	Age: 65+

Having just returned from a excellent cruise on the Boudica to Iceland and Greenland would recommend this cruise and ship all was up to usual high standard of Fred in respect of Food, Hygiene, and Staff. We found the Captain very sociable and always ready for a chat on his daily turns about the ship also kept us well informed each day.This was also a first for us that a Captain had been at dis-embarkation saying good-bye. Although this ship is excellent still prefer the layout of the Braemar especially in respect of restaurants and lounges.Trip to the icebergs tho expensive is well worth it and breath taking. Taking cruises to places like this you must bear in mind it is possible to miss getting into some ports because of Ice and this did happen to us once on this cruise but that is Nature and you cannot change that.Evening entertainment was very good and to a high standard

Opinion: Agree Comment by Miller, Hamstreet, Ashford (12 Sep 07 15:19) about this REVIEW.

I have been on 20 cruises with Fred Olsen and this was amongst the best for some time. It was my first cruise on the "Boudicca" (being a regular on the "Black Watch") and found it very comfortable. It has the usual Olsen friendly and efficient service. My only small gripe would be that I prefer the larger public rooms on the "Black Watch". Fred Olsen go from strength to strength
