‘In Spitsbergen, Balmoral will really come into her own, with her smaller size allowing us to offer unspoilt views of many natural wonders, from sailing alongside glaciers and down narrow fjords, to the destinations themselves’, commented Clare Ward, director of product and customer service, Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines.
Canada in the Fall
