Cruises on Balmoral
Departing from Newcastle, Southampton, and Rosyth, Balmoral will guide you on unforgettable journeys along size-restricted rivers, including the Kiel Canal, narrow Norwegian fjords, closer to tumbling waterfalls, little coastal villages, and scenic Scottish coastlines, and will dock in the heart of many of the cities you'll visit, so you can simply step ashore and be ready to explore. As you will have friendly and knowledgeable speakers on board with you, you'll have a deeper understanding of the culture and history of each destination before you arrive. You'll also discover breathtaking scenery and wildlife and can enjoy seeing the world from the unique perspective of your smaller-sized cruise ship.
Join Balmoral on a selection of Mediterranean fly cruises, offering you the chance to explore the sunny coastlines of Amalfi and Dalmatia and the scenic islands of Greece. Choose to cruise from the UK or fly from London Stansted or Manchester to the heart of iconic Mediterranean destinations, ready to start exploring right away.
New for summer 2026, Balmoral will cruise to the Baltic, offering explorations of Riga, Tallinn, and the lesser-known gems of Saaremaa and Klaipeda; sail along the coastlines of Scotland and Ireland; and, due to her smaller size, along the River Seine to Rouen, Honfleur and the renowned wine-making region of Bordeaux. During August, your Captain will position Balmoral at sea, just west of Iceland, so that you can experience perfectly uninterrupted views of the awe-inspiring and eerie phenomenon of a total solar eclipse.
