Fred Olsen Cruise Lines has revealed intentions to sell its smallest ship Braemar after the vessel was not brought back to service post-Covid.

The line, which acquired ships Bolette and Borealis in July 2020, said that although 924-passenger Braemar’s size offered “many benefits”, it also brought “constraints that are not aligned with where we now want to be as a business”.

“It is with that in mind, and after much deliberation, that we have made the difficult decision not to bring Braemar back into service with us, and in the coming weeks will be seeking a new owner for her,” the line said. 

“We have a small team of crew who have been taking great care of her while she has been in Scotland, and these crew will all be redeployed across our fleet so that we can retain their talent and expertise.
