The line first introduced this relaxing, sociable area across its fleet of four smaller ships – Balmoral, Braemar, Boudicca and Black Watch – during drydocks in 2013 and 2014.

The onboard facilities – which adjoin the ships’ Libraries – serves specialty coffees and teas from world-renowned Taylors of Harrogate, as well as high-quality Pralines, Champagne Truffles and other hand-made chocolates.
 
Nathan Philpot, Sales and Marketing Director for Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines, said: 'They have quickly become firm favourites with our guests. Each one is located right at the heart of the ship, and retains a sociable and relaxing atmosphere for guests to pass the time with a luxurious latte or Taylors’ loose leaf tea, and delicious, hand-made chocolates as an extra treat.'
 
The Bookmark Cafés are located on Lounge Deck 7 on board Balmoral – Fred. Olsen’s flagship – on Lounge Deck 5 on Braemar, on Lido Deck 7 on Boudicca, and on Lido Deck 7 on Black Watch.
