On another website, I saw what appeared a photoshop of Boudicca with slate grey hull and red line on the waist.
However, facebook did get a post of her at night and a close up of her anchor showing clearly the change of livery.
Can someone confirm this as it comes a bit as a surprise!

Yes indeed, BOUDICCA now sports a dark grey hull which appears dark blue in some lights and some photos. It's a throwback to the old traditional days of Fred.Olsen, when all of their ships had grey hulls.

I agree with you ... boy she has more than few dents and dings. The hull is showing its age.

Very glad she is still with us but choosing to paint her the same hull colour as Black Prince & Watch came out with in the 1960's would have been more attractive, this just looks dark and dull.

Are dings and dents like those hard to fix?

Thanks very much for the pictures!
Now one can see the Prinsendam predecessor!
Yes Boudicca had a fair share of bumps but Fred keeps the interiors immaculate.
Black Watch should now boast the same livery, ready to sail from Liverpool tomorrow.
Balmoral will look smart and Braemar too.
