We're pleased to share that we have awarded A&P Group Limited, part of the APCL Group, a new contract to carry out the next drydocking of MV Balmoral. This latest contract will result in the third Fred. Olsen refit to be carried out at the Falmouth facility in two years, with both Bolette and Balmoral previously visiting the facility. 🛳️ The signing of the new Balmoral contract took place in Liverpool this month, between Mike Spicer, Managing Director of A&P Falmouth, and our Chief Executive Officer Samantha Stimpson. Balmoral is set to enter drydock in December, where she will undergo a comprehensive 14-day work package. Samantha said: “We are proud to be working with APCL on our fifth drydock contract. Working with a UK yard means that together we are feeding directly back into the local economy, while also providing invaluable experience to A&Ps many apprentices. These programmes are vital, allowing us to complete essential maintenance to our wonderful smaller ship Balmoral, whilst also making a number of enhancements for our guests, and we look forward to completion of another busy and successful drydock."

Last week, our E-Commerce and Marketing Director, Sonia Holman, took part in a panel talk at the Travolution.com Start-up and Innovation Summit.    The Start-up and Innovation Summit was born to service the start-up community, and now focuses on a bigger push towards insights and solutions that address the biggest demands of the travel industry.    During the talk discussing Payments as the Future of Travel Innovation, Sonia discussed how you can offer value beyond payments, and how pain points for high speed, low cost and secure payments can be addressed.    Thank you to the Travolution Start-up and Innovation Summit for having us take part!
