BOUDICCA in Funchal 2013-01-09

Photographs of the cruise ship BOUDICCA taken in Funchal, Madeira Island, on 9 January 2013 by Luís Miguel Correia.

Built in Finland for the famous Royal Viking Line and delivered in 1973 as the ROYAL VIKING SKY she became the SUNWARD in 1991 and got several other names until 2005 when she enetered the Fred. Olsen fleet as BOUDICCA. Check her history here...

BOUDICCA was one of 13 different passenger (cruise) ships I was able to photograph in my most recent photographic expedition to Madeira between 9 and 14 January 2013.

BOUDICCA IN LISBON 2007-06-01

The Fred Olsen cruise ship BOUDICCA visited Lisbon on 2007-06-01 again and I was able to register some more images of her taken on her departure from the Rocha Cruise Terminal. Originally built in Helsinki by Wartsila for the Royal Viking Line (the second of three sisters) as the ROYAL VIKING SKY, she is now sailing under her seventh name and joined her older sister ship BLACK WATCH ex-ROYAL VIKING STAR in 2005. Following a very extensive refit that included new main engines the BOUDICCA is now based in UK as one of the four soon to be five Fred Olsen cruise ships.

CRUISE SHIPS IN LISBON

January 2008 looks like a Fred Olsen month in terms of cruise ship calls in Lisbon. Interesting to note that all three former original Royal Viking sisters will be in Lisbon during January.
The ships on schedule to visit Lisbon were SAGA ROSE and ALBATROS (2nd January), AURORA and BLACK PRINCE ( 4th January), but due to stormy weather on the Eastern Atlantic and the Portuguese coast, only the ALBATROS made her call; Still on schedule are another 4 calls, all by Fred Olsen ships: BLACK WATCH (8th January), BOUDICCA on 15 and 21 and BLACK PRINCE on 17th January. Last but not the least, the ATHENA arrives on the 7th from Malaga for a lay up period until March, while the ARION is also laid up for the winter and the Portuguese ALGARVE CRUISER is based in Lisbon until March, for Tagus cruises. Also expected in Lisbon is the OCEAN MONARCH. She was purchased recently by Classic International Cruises and starts a refit in Lisbon Navalrocha yard on the 21st January.

A lista de navios de cruzeiros com escala em Lisboa neste mês de Janeiro apresenta-se interessante, com um grande aumento do número de navios face a 2007: SAGA ROSE e ALBATROS no dia 2, AURORA e BLACK PRINCE a 4, dos quais só se concretizou a escala do ALBATROS, tendo as restantes sido canceladas devido ao temporal que assolou o Atlântico Oriental e a costa portuguesa; estão ainda previstas 4 escalas, todas de navios da companhia Fred Olsen: BLACK WATCH a 8, BOUDICCA a 15 e 21 e BLACK PRINCE a 17 de Janeiro. Para além destas escalas, de referir o ATHENA que chega a Lisboa a 7, procedente de Málaga e vai ficar imobilizado no Tejo até Março, além da estadia em "lay up" do ARION, e do ALGARVE CRUISER que fica baseado em Lisboa até Março, desenvolvendo actividades marítimo turísticas no Tejo. Outro navio de cruzeiros esperado em Lisboa em Janeiro é o OCEAN MONARCH, comprado recentemente pela Classic International Cruises, que tem prevista entrada na Doca seca nº 1 do estaleiro Navalrocha a 21 de Janeiro.
Como curiosidade, este mês estarão em Lisboa os três gémeos originais da companhia Royal Viking Line, os navios da classe ROYAL VIKING STAR... Adivinhem os seus nomes actuais e os de origem...

Fred. Olsen's BOUDICCA in new livery

Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines has changed the livery of their four cruise ships adding a red line to the hull that now sports a dark grey colour. 

BOUDICCA arrived in Lisbon on 31 December 2015 already in her new colours and I did a series of photographs to register the changes that are actually for the better, depicting the fine sense of taste of the Fred. Olsen dinasty of Norwegian shipowners.

Photographs taken in Lisbon by Luís Miguel Correia.

BALMORAL and BOUDICCA in Funchal

Fred.Olsen cruise ships BALMORAL and BOUDICCA called in Funchal, Madeira Island together on 9th January 2013 and I went there to register the meeting and make a "family picture".

Fred. Olsen is a frequent visitor to Madeira waters since 1967 when the then brand new sisters BLACK PRINCE and BLACK WATCH of 1966 started to make regular calls on their regular service from London to the Atlantic Islands.
