You could travel from Newcastle to Rosyth in Fife in under three hours by train for around £35. Or you could sail there in about 13 hours aboard Fred Olsen Cruises’ Balmoral. The price is five times the rail fare, at £179 per person, but you get much more than transportation. You can enjoy a five-course dinner, the evening show, a comfortable night on board and breakfast before leaving the ship the following morning.
On 18 August, the reverse itinerary, Rosyth to Newcastle, is available on the same ship.
