Frequently asked questions
- What is included in the cruise fare?
- Standard cruise fares include your cabin, onboard meals at main dining venues, most non-specialty entertainment, use of pools and common facilities, and transport between ports of call. Gratuities, specialty dining, alcoholic drinks, shore excursions and onboard spa services are typically billed separately.
- How far in advance should I book this cruise?
- For popular sailings, booking 6–12 months ahead typically gives the best cabin selection and fares. Last-minute discounts can appear 30–60 days before departure when the cruise line wants to fill remaining cabins on Balmoral.
- What documents do I need to board?
- Most international itineraries require a passport valid for at least six months beyond your return date. Closed-loop sailings that depart and return to the same U.S. port from Piraeus (Athens), Greece may accept a government-issued photo ID plus a certified birth certificate for U.S. citizens — always verify with the cruise line.
- Can I change or cancel my booking?
- Change and cancellation policies depend on Fred Olsen Cruise Lines's fare type and how close you are to departure. Refundable deposits typically allow changes up to the final-payment date without penalty; closer to sailing, cancellation fees scale up. Review the specific fare rules before booking.
- What is a 33-night cruise like?
- A 33-night cruise balances relaxing sea days with active port days. You can expect a mix of onboard programming — dining, entertainment, spa and fitness — and multiple shore excursions from Balmoral. Pack for both formal nights and casual deck days.
