On another hot summer's day the Balmoral, star of BBC's Tuesday night programme about an on-board vicar, arrived at St Peter Port from Southampton with over 1,000 guests aboard. The programme has received mixed reviews from potential guests and Fred Olsen issued a disclaimer saying that the BBC had full control over what it chose to film.
One of the last tenders to leave St Peter Port takes down the Fred Olsen house flag as she heads back to the ship. The Balmoral was launched in 1988 and was stretched in 2007 by having a 99 foot section added to the centre of the ship,so she is the largest ship in the fleet.
Tenders being hoisted as the ship prepares for departure provide interest for the guests. Her next port of call is Dublin, where she will arrive 18 hours later. Currently Fred Olsen is offering 3 cruises to see the Total Eclipse in March 2015 on the Boudicca, Black Watch and the Braemar, after the first one sold out immediately.
