The Fred Olsen Boudicca is an elegant ship that offers passengers a warm and friendly atmosphere whilst enjoying amazing ocean views whilst travelling to shores that many rival cruise ships cannot. Up to 850 people can enjoy a cruise on board Boudicca, not the thousands to be found on most ships these days, which means there is plenty of space for everyone. However, this doesn’t mean that the ship lacks anything compared to its competitors as it has numerous facilities and appliances. Fred Olsen promotes a cruise experience that is all about the passengers, which is usually a high proportion of retired people and a very low number of children.

The atmosphere is one of which you feel truly valued, well accommodated and close with your fellow passengers.
There are a variety of eating options available onboard Boudicca, all offering quality food prepared by expert chefs. The Four Seasons Restaurant, which is the largest of the options, is ideal for enjoying a gourmet meal. The Secret Garden Café , decorated in an Oriental style, is available for informal dining and offers a varied menu and a relaxed dining ambience, that also plays host to the popular speciality evenings with dishes from around the world. You’ll also find a number of popular British pub standards such as bangers and mash, toad in the hole, and spotted dick. Casual self-serve deck buffets are provided outdoors at the Poolside Café, while fast food items can be obtained from the Marquee Bar.
Evening entertainment onboard Boudicca consists of comedy, music features and guest stars from television and theatre.
