Boudicca deck plans

MS Boudicca (built in 1973 as "Royal Viking Sky", last refurbished in 2018, sold in 2020, and scrapped in 2021) was the second oldest vessel in the Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines fleet, alongside fleetmates Black Watch, Braemar, and Balmoral. Originally built for Royal Viking Line (founded in 1972 and defunct since 1998), she also sailed under various names and operators, including NCL-Norwegian Cruise Line, Princess Cruises, Star Cruises, and Iberocruceros. She joined the Fred. Olsen fleet in 2005. In 2020, MS Boudicca was sold to a Turkish company to operate as a hotel ship, but by May 2021 she was sold for scrap and beached at Izmir's Aliaga Ship Recycling Facility.

The MS Boudicca deck plan featured a total of 462 staterooms accommodating 880 passengers (maximum capacity 924), served by 330 crew members. The vessel had 10 decks (8 accessible to passengers, 6 with cabins), 4 restaurants, 9 lounges and bars, 3 swimming pools, 2 outdoor Jacuzzis (large whirlpool hot tubs), and 5 elevators.

Boudicca deck plan changes – 2018 refurbishment review

During the March 17–27, 2018 drydock at Blohm+Voss in Hamburg, two fiberglass-bottomed boats were added, each with a 12-passenger capacity. The extensive refit also included general maintenance, complete refurbishment of all staterooms and public areas, and repainting of the entire vessel, including both interior spaces and the exterior hull and superstructure.

• All passenger cabins were updated with new carpeting, soft furnishings and upholstery, new lighting, balcony furniture, mini-fridges, electronic safes, and flat-screen interactive TVs.
• All public areas and venues (bars, lounges, dining rooms) were extensively upgraded and redesigned.
• The Morning Light Pub (Deck 6) was relocated to the port side of the Secret Garden Cafe.
• The Heligan Room (Deck 6, port side) was converted into the "Indian Ocean Restaurant."

Deck plan updates from the 2015 refurbishment (conducted by Lloyd Werft in Bremerhaven, Germany) included:

A total of 28 cabins on Lido Deck 7 were refitted with private balconies. These newly added verandas extended 4 ft / 1.2 m from the ship's bulkhead. Balcony cabins aboard Fred. Olsen ships are in high demand across the fleet. Similar terrace balconies were added to the Black Watch during her 2014 drydock. As Lido Deck also served as the ship’s Promenade Deck (an outdoor walking area), the new verandas encroached upon, but did not interrupt, the promenade. A transparent railing separated the balconies from the open deck, resulting in limited privacy as passengers could walk directly in front of the balcony screens.

Additional general maintenance included new hull coating, piping system modifications, repairs to the ship's stabilizers and rudder, and replacement of the bow thruster (propulsion unit).

Boudicca deck plan changes – 2013 refurbishment review

The 2013 drydock refurbishment (performed by Blohm+Voss in Hamburg, Germany) introduced three redesigned lounge and bar areas:

• Morning Light Pub (formerly Neptune Bar)
• Cafe Venus (a specialty coffee and chocolate shop located near the Library)
• The Grill (a specialty restaurant replacing the former Poolside Cafe buffet)
