Braemar Cruise Ship

The Braemar joined the Fred Olsen fleet in 2001, and offers summer cruises to Europe, the Mediterranean and the Canary Islands, as well as trips to the Caribbean and the Amazon in the winter. She was built in 1993 and sailed for the cruise lines Crown, Cunard, Majesty and Norwegian before being acquired by Fred Olsen in 2001. The ship was given a facelift and emerged as the new cruise ship, the Braemar, with her most recent refurbishment taking place in 2008.
