Boudicca Cruise Limited

  • Ship Owners

Boudicca Cruise Limited is the entity behind MS Boudicca, which is a cruise ship operated by Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines, a renowned British-owned cruise line. Named after the iconic Celtic warrior queen Boudica, MS Boudicca has garnered a reputation for offering an intimate and classic cruising experience.


Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines is a family-owned company that has been in operation since the mid-19th century, known for its focus on traditional cruising experiences. The company's fleet often includes smaller ships, allowing access to a broader range of ports and providing a more personable experience compared to larger, more modern vessels.


MS Boudicca itself was originally built in 1973, although it has undergone several refurbishments to ensure it meets contemporary standards of comfort and luxury. The ship is known for its elegant design, featuring an array of amenities including various dining options, entertainment venues, and leisure facilities like swimming pools, fitness centers, and wellness areas.


The company aims to cater to a demographic that appreciates a more relaxed and refined approach to cruising, often attracting seasoned travelers who value service quality, classic decor, and an immersive destination experience. The itineraries offered typically include a mix of popular tourist destinations and unique, less-visited ports, allowing passengers to experience both the well-trodden and the offbeat.


As of my knowledge cutoff in 2023, the shipping industry has been particularly affected by global events such as the COVID-19 pandemic, so prospective travelers might want to check for the latest updates and travel advisories directly from Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines regarding the status and operations of MS Boudicca and other vessels in its fleet.
