Boudicca Cruise Ship

Sister ship to the Black Watch, Fred Olsens' Boudicca is a well-established vessel operating cruises to the Mediterranean, the Baltics and the Caribbean. Built in 1973 and originally owned by the elegant Royal Viking Line, the ship also sailed for Princess Cruises and Star Cruises, before Fred Olsen took over and re-named her Boudicca. Like most of the Fred Olsen fleet, the Boudicca appeals mainly to an older British clientele looking for a traditional and refined cruise experience.
