Black Watch

Classic Cruising

Black Watch guests feel a sense of warm welcome from the very first moment they step onboard. Large windows and the soft tones of a subtle, stylishly elegant décor, broad teak decks, generous promenades, bright and unconfined public areas and roomy cabins (over 90% with sea views) all contribute to a feeling of freedom and comfort.

With just 421 cabins, Black Watch is a vessel designed with an exceptionally generous ratio of ship space to passenger.There is an impressive range of dining choices, from the elegance of the Glentanar Restaurant to the informality of the Garden Café and from the more intimate Orchid Room to a snack in the sun at the Poolside Café, or Marquee Pool Bar.

For an aperitif or post-dinner cocktail, the nautically themed Lido Lounge and congenial Scottish Piper's Bar are a favourite choice. Or retreat to a peaceful nook in the Braemar Lounge or the Observatory.

With two swimming pools, a fitness centre, health and beauty salon, deck sports, library, indoor games, internet access, casino, 150-seat film theatre, cabarets and shows, there’s plenty to keep guests entertained, but it is also always possible to find a quiet corner when desired.

To board Black Watch is to sense at once a classic pedigree that harks back to the cruising values of a bygone age, qualities that lie at the heart of the time-honoured Fred. Olsen cruising concept.
