Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines: Black Watch

Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines

Black Watch Review

Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines Ships

Overview

Launched in 1972, the former Royal Viking Star was built for the luxurious, long-distance cruises for which Royal Viking Line was known. Today's Black Watch retains much of her inherent grace. Passengers have plenty of space, both on deck and inside, including two swimming pools and a large fitness center and spa—unusual for a ship of this vintage. Piper's Bar and Lido Lounge are popular spots for a leisurely drink and conversation, while the Observatory, a spacious lounge high atop the ship, has the best views.
