Hamburg refit this December for Fred Olsen’s Black Watch

Fred Olsen Cruises’ 804 passenger capacity Black Watch will enter drydock at Hamburg’s Blohm + Voss shipyard on 2 December to start a 12 day ‘fast track’ refit.  The work package on the 1972-built vessel includes a major refurbishment of the vessel’s public rooms, including the building of a new casual dining area which will be created in the space where the Braemar Lounge and Garden Café are currently situated – midships on Deck 6 (Lounge Deck).

The new casual dining area will be named the Braemar Garden and will have seating for over 120 persons. One section of the new dining option will be screened off; creating a 40-seat room that can be used for private dining. This new area will be completely refitted with new soft furnishings, a new bar and a buffet.

The design of the new areas is being carried out by London-based Space (formerly McNeece), which has previously worked on all of the ships in the Fred Olsen Cruises fleet.

Meanwhile, on the technical side, Black Watch’s last three open lifeboats will be replaced by two new totally enclosed lifeboats, supplied by Germany’s Fassmer Davit International.
