 Four Fred. Olsen cruise ships sailed into one port for the first time this morning, July 28, 2015.

Passengers were on deck from dawn to see the pilot lead Braemar, Boudicca, Black Watch and Balmoral into Bergen for the historic Fred. Olsen Unites celebration. 

On a sunny morning during what has been one of the wettest summers in Norway the four white ships with red funnels gleamed in the early morning sunlight as they snaked into Norway’s second largest city.

Traditional drummer boys welcomed passengers ashore with Boudicca at Skolten North Terminal; Black Watch at  Skolten South Terminal; Braemar at Festningskaien and Balmoral at Bontelabo Terminal as the ships' flags went up and the festivities began.


  • The Fred. Olsen Company has a proud Norwegian heritage and is now in its fifth generation. In 1848 the three Olsen brothers Fredrik Christian, Petter and Andreas bought their first ships and began an international shipping company.
