The year in pictures – 4

In June I flew to Italy to join Fred Olsen’s latest vessel, Balmoral, for a cruise from Rome to Venice. We had a great time, visiting Naples, Sicily, Malta, Brindisi, Corfu and Dubrovnik. The ship, formerly the Norwegian Crown, and stretched by the insertion of new a 30-metre mid-section, is an excellent addition to the Olsen fleet.
