Fred. Olsen - Boudicca Cruise Ship

Boudicca Cruise Ship

Boudicca Cruise Ship - Intro

Completely in keeping with Fred. Olsen’s individual approach to quality cruising, Boudicca is a world class cruise ship whose classic design creates a sense of warmth and welcome from the moment you embark. Her crew is simply first rate and your abiding impression of the ship’s interior is one of light and space, courtesy of enormous picture windows that serve to highlight the elegant décor of her expansive lounges, restaurants, public areas and bars.

Boudicca’s cabins are decidedly roomy. She has just 437 cabins and carries a maximum of 839 passengers. Smaller, more intimate ships like Boudicca are not only easy for passengers to get around, they also make it easy for the crew to deliver the very highest levels of service.

Aside from her intimate scale, Boudicca features a welcome nod to tradition with a classic teak promenade deck that stretches right around the ship – perfect for joggers and those that like a stroll before dinner!  There’s considerable deck space too, making her a real ‘outdoor ship’ and adding to the feeling of space and freedom that will typify your days at sea.
