Fred Olsen Cruises add Superbike TT to itinerary
Prestigious Cruise line operator Fred. Olsen is offering a nine night ‘Superbike and Scenic Hikes’ cruise on board the company’s flagship Balmoral departing from Southampton on 31st May 2015 which will include a trip to this year’s Isle of Man TT Races fuelled by Monster Energy.
This is the first time that Fred. Olsen has offered the TT Races as part of a cruise holiday.
The Balmoral will arrive first in picturesque St. Peter Port, on the island of Guernsey. Next stop is colourful Tobermory, a quaint Scottish town on the Isle of Mull.
The cruise will then continue onwards to Kirkwall, capital of the Orkney Islands, before calling at the Isle of Man’s capital Douglas to take in the Superbike TT race.
As well as being the home of motorcycle road-racing, the Isle of Man – fondly referred to as the ‘Rock’ by residents – also boasts a number of other interesting attractions, including the 1890s Manx Electric Railway and the Great Laxey Wheel – the largest working water wheel in the world.
The final port of call on this unique cruise is the vibrant city of Dublin, in the Republic of Ireland, famous for its Guinness and ‘Temple Bar’ area, where guests can experience the city’s renowned Irish hospitality, or ‘craic’.
