Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines welcomed local travel agents on board Boudicca for a training day in Liverpool on 6th June 2016.

Representatives from Regent Travel, Avios, The Co-operative Travel, Althams Travel, Thomas Cook, GoCruise, Cruise Holidays UK, Barrhead Travel, Greatdays Travel Group, World Travel Lounge, Iglu/Planet Cruise, Thomson (Trafford Centre), Not Just Travel, Tivoli Travel ltd, Hays Travel and Cruise 1st attended the visit, and were hosted by Fred.

The group were given a presentation on ‘The Fred. Difference’ in Boudicca’s Neptune Show Lounge and taken on an extensive tour of the ship – which included the unique new Terrace Balcony Rooms and Suites – followed by lunch in the stylish Tintagel Restaurant.

Mathew Foxcroft, Account Manager for Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines, said:

“With its stunning vistas and proud maritime heritage, there is something very special about cruising from Liverpool. It is a tremendous benefit to be able to offer our agents the chance to promote our cruises from the world-famous Pier Head, and to give holidaymakers in the North West the choice of a host of exciting and exotic destinations, from right on their doorstep.

"We hope that the agents enjoyed their visit and learnt a lot more about what we do."

Fred. Olsen is a long-standing supporter of the Merseyside region, returning to cruising from Liverpool in 2013 with Boudicca and her sister ship, Black Watch.

Fred. Olsen’s fourth season from Liverpool Cruise Terminal began on 5th May 2016. Boudicca will be setting sail on a total of 16 voyages in 2016 – an increase on the 15 sailings offered in 2015 – from Liverpool’s iconic Pier Head. Destinations include Canada, the Adriatic, Scotland, the Canary Islands and Greenland.

As well as offering turnaround calls in Liverpool, Fred. Olsen will also be visiting the city on four transit calls in 2016.

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.
