Bremen

MS Bremen, is a cruise ship operated by Hapag Lloyd since 1993. She was built as Frontier Spirit at the Mitsubishi Shipyard, Kobe, Japan, in 1990.

Black Watch

Cruise ships were once famous for their style and charm. And Black Watch cruise ship is a hark back to those days, when quality and service were taken for granted. Sleek and intimate, with cabins and suites for 804 people, Black Watch has a warm welcome waiting for you. Black Watch was voted 'Best for Entertainment' in the 2012 Cruise Critic 'Cruisers Choice UK Awards'. Only UK cruisers voted, and they were especially impressed with the service: “they consistently went the extra mile”.

Boudicca

Boudicca was the heroic warrior queen of the British Iceni tribe. Up to 800 people can enjoy a cruise on board Boudicca - not the thousands to be found on most ships these days - so there’s plenty of space for everyone. And our cruise ship is small enough to reach shores many rival cruise ships cannot. Inside, indulge yourself at the Tintagel and Four Seasons Restaurants. Lounge around on the Lounge Deck, or in one of our two Jacuzzis. Or splash around in one of our three pools. And when the sun’s shining, our tasty poolside buffet will hit the spot. There’ll be days and nights to remember on board Boudicca.
