Review of Fred Olsen Balmoral deck 10 (Highland-Cabins-Wellness-Dining3)

The ship's wellness complex (Atlantis Spa & Fitness Centre) is open 8 am - 8 pm, and on occasional evenings until 10 pm. The forward-located facility combines a spa treatment area with a gym. The Atlantis Spa portion offers a program of beauty and body services, including massages, facials, body treatments, manicures and pedicures, and hairdressing. Several treatment rooms overlook the bow, providing panoramic views during treatments. The Fitness Centre is equipped with modern cardio machines such as treadmills, exercise bikes and elliptical trainers, weight machines and free weights. Adjacent to the gym is a separate studio for exercise classes, including yoga, Pilates, stretching and fit‑ball sessions. The ship’s daily program lists scheduled classes and opportunities for personal training.

Beauty Salon (integrated into the spa facility) provides professional hairdressing and barber services alongside other personal care offerings such as facials, body treatments, manicures and pedicures, and various massage options, forming a combined space for grooming and spa services. The salon operates in conjunction with the Atlantis Spa treatment rooms and gym facilities, and appointments for services can usually be booked in advance or during the cruise through the spa reception.

Spey Restaurant (aft-portside location, 120 seats) is the ship’s second-largest main dining room. It operates as a secondary main restaurant in a more intimate setting than the principal Ballindalloch Restaurant (deck 6). Equipped with panoramic windows along one side and across the back, it is designed to maximise natural light and views out to sea. Spey Restaurant serves the same food and menus as the Ballindalloch Restaurant with breakfast, lunch and a la carte dinner service. The seating arrangement and menu offerings mirror those of the Ballindalloch, and on fine days, passengers have access to an adjacent alfresco deck area/terrace overlooking the stern for breakfast and lunch.

Avon Restaurant (aft-starboard location) is the ship’s third (smallest) main dining room, offering the same 5‑course a la carte dinner menu served in the Ballindalloch Restaurant (Deck 6), with dishes such as freshly baked breads, soups, steaks, pasta and desserts that change nightly. The Avon Restaurant has large windows and a more intimate dining experience. Seating times are fixed, and with waiting service - breakfast from 7:30-10:30 AM, lunch from 12-2 PM, and dinner in two sittings at ~6 PM and 8-8:15 PM).
