In 2008 the Norwegian Crown was bought by Fred
Olsen Cruise Lines, was 'stretched' and given a refit,
and now she is the Balmoral.

The Balmoral has gained another 9,000 tons and
250 passengers since her refit in 2008.
You can see quite a lot of differences, notably the
extension above the bridge at the front - this forms the
topmost lounge called the Observatory.
You can, however, also spot the things that haven't
changed.
When we were on board for our
transatlantic voyage in
2012, however, we didn't see anything we recognised from
the Norwegian Crown days. |
