The Balmoral cruise ship, departing from Rosyth, will welcome best-selling author and comedian Jenny Eclair for a 13-night trip.

She will join Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines' "Moments Crew," tasked with capturing guests' most memorable onboard moments.

Ms. Eclair, writer-in-residence, will turn the experiences of three lucky guests into short stories, providing them with a unique memento of their cruise.

She said: "There is a rich literary history of travel writing, but my intention is to get the everyday holiday maker interested in keeping their own journals, even if it is just a record of what you had for dinner."

All passengers will be able to attend "An Audience with Jenny Eclair" on Wednesday, July 2, which will include an interview with the ship's cruise director, a Q&A session, and book signings.

The 13-night "Fairytale Castle and Old Towns of The Baltic Scenic" tour will offer passengers the chance to explore a range of awe-inspiring locations, including the majestic castles of Schwerin, Malbork, and Rosenborg, as well as the enchanting old towns of Vecrīga and Vanalinn.

Sonia Holman, Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines' marketing director, said: "We know that some of life’s best memories are made on the high seas, so what better way to ensure they are caught than by assembling the first-ever crew dedicated to recording these unique moments in unique ways."

The cruise will run from June 27 to July 10.
