Round Britain Cruise on Black Prince
I found this report on John Luxton's excellent Irish Sea Shipping site.
Should be of interest to anyone contemplating BP. We sailed on her to Norway and also found her a very comfortable and friendly ship. |

What an excellent review. We are going on the Black Prince in October, sailing from Greenock and visiting Lisbon, the Canaries, Madeira and Belfast on the way back, so it was great to hear all the good points of this smaller ship. I think round Britain cruises will be come very popular in the next year or so and would certainly consider one after reading this.

Time is sadly running out for Black Prince, she won't get past 2010, so any cruises that you get to do aboard her, will be some of her last. She is a very popular little ship, so much so that her crew never want to be rotated to the other ships in the Olsen fleet.
