Enjoy double FREE On Board Spend of up to £1,400 per person on Fred. Olsen’s longest-ever ‘Grand Voyage’ in Autumn 2019

Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines has launched its new ‘Exceptional Explorations’ brochure, showcasing great-value offers on once-in-a-lifetime adventures to the world’s most exotic destinations in 2019/20.

Holidaymakers looking to embark on an ‘Around the World’ odyssey with Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines can enjoy double FREE On Board Spend – of up to £1,400 per person – on board Boudicca’s 168-night D19GV ‘Grand Voyage’, setting sail in October 2019, on all new bookings made by 28th February 2019 inclusive.

Guests can choose to use this free On Board Spend to immerse themselves fully in the destinations with award-winning shore excursions; enhance their onboard experience further by purchasing food and drink; or enjoy Boudicca’s many onboard facilities throughout the duration of this exceptional cruise.

Meanwhile, those looking to enjoy an exotic holiday within a shorter duration can take advantage of a ‘FREE Drinks & Tips’ upgrade on a number of exciting fly-cruises in 2019/20, as part of Fred. Olsen’s popular ‘Cruise Sale’, when booking by 28th February 2019 inclusive.

In its ‘FREE Drinks and Tips’ offer, Fred. Olsen guests can enjoy selected house wines, beers, spirits and soft drinks all day and evening, without the added hassle of settling a bar bill, plus all gratuities will be paid by the cruise line.

Clare Ward, Director of Product and Customer Service for Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines, said:

Boudicca’s ‘Grand Voyage’ – of an epic 168 nights – is set to be the longest, most extensive sailing ever undertaken in Fred. Olsen’s history! Guests will get the chance to visit no fewer than 61 different ports, towns and cities right across the globe, taking in far-flung destinations rich in culture and steeped in history.

“We wanted to make our guests’ holidays even more special by doubling the amount of free spending credit available on our ground-breaking ‘Grand Voyage’, enabling them to make the most of their time on board with immersive shore excursions, a spa treatment or two, or a sumptuous meal in our speciality steak and seafood restaurant, The Grill – all compliments of Fred. Olsen!

“Of course, we appreciate that not everyone is able to sail away for an entire 168 nights, so we hope that those looking to take a shorter, but equally exotic, Fred. Olsen fly-cruise will enjoy our ‘FREE Drinks & Tips’ upgrade, all the while making memories to last a lifetime!”

Details of Boudicca’s ‘Grand Voyage’ are as follows:

- Boudicca’s 168-night D19GV ‘Grand Voyage’, ex Dover on 3rd October 2019. Prices start from £15,999 per person.

On Fred. Olsen’s ‘Grand Voyage’, guests will be able to go in search of lemurs and chameleons in their native Madagascan habitat; behold the beautiful, unspoilt beaches, dense jungle interiors and spectacular coral reefs of Indonesia; and meander through the colourful ‘floating garden’ island of Madeira.

In South Africa, guests will continue to tick items off their ‘bucket list’, as they seek out the ‘Big Five’, on unmissable safari adventures, during stops at Port Elizabeth and Richards Bay; see the penguins of Boulders Beach on a tour from Cape Town; while, in Australia, ‘Boudicca’ will sail to the Great Barrier Reef and Kangaroo Island, home to wild kangaroos, wallabies and koalas.

Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines

At Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines we are very proud of our smaller ships – Bolette, Borealis and Balmoral - and the imaginative and unusual itineraries they allow us to offer. Every cruise is hand-crafted from scratch by our team of in-house Journey Planners to make sure you are not only visiting the best destinations, but at the best time to experience them.

For us, it’s not just about where we go but how we take you there. We put as much time into planning scenic cruising as we do in choosing the destinations themselves. On board, our Signature Experiences showcase the history, culture, nature and flavours of the destinations you’ll visit – from Treats of the Region, where you can enjoy local delicacies, to our Sky at Sea star-gazing sessions where you can relax with a hot toddy out on deck while our astronomer talks you through the night sky.

Plus, with each ship carrying 1,300 guests or less, our ships are small enough for us to offer a warm, friendly and personal service where nothing is ever too much trouble, as we visit a host of exciting ports in every corner of the globe.
