Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines has announced it will retire its vessel Black Prince in October 2009. The 441 passenger ship, which was built for the company by Flender Werft in Lubeck in 1966, will operate a series of four Farewell Cruises starting on 9th September from Liverpool, and ending on 16th October in Southampton.
Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines is to introduce a totally smoke free indoors environment on all five vessels in the fleet beginning early in 2009.
Fred. Olsen still has availability on two Caribbean Christmas cruises, for those who haven’t yet made plans for the festive season.
Why not combine Christmas shopping with a relaxing cruise by visiting some of Europe’s lovely Christmas markets?
Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines has announced a revision to itineraries for two of its ships for the summer 2009 and winter 2009/2010 seasons. The new programme affects Braemar and Boudicca, and dramatically reduces the number of fly/cruises the company will be offering over the next two years.
Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines has launched a mini-brochure of selected winter cruises, many of which offer an additional bonus of free onboard credit. There are cruises aboard all five ships – Balmoral, Black Watch, Boudicca, Braemar and Black Prince – to destinations including the Caribbean, Canaries, Iberia and West Africa, all offering autumn and winter sun.
Always mindful of catering to customers’ needs and offering the latest services, Fred. Olsen launched an interactive TV service on board cruise ship Balmoral when she entered service in February 2008. The cruise line chose Allin Interactive to provide this service, a company with extensive experience in the field, having worked on over 40 cruise ships.
Fred.Olsen Cruise Lines has secured one of the world’s greatest pop groups for a cruise to the Canary Islands this winter. Join Balmoral as she sails from Dover on 4th January 2009 for a thirteen-night cruise and be entertained by The Drifters – the longest running band in pop history.
Music has always been a very big part of any Fred. Olsen cruise; evening entertainment, daytime classical recitals, live piano-playing in bars, steel bands on deck in the Caribbean – all add to the very special atmosphere on board.
The major refit and lengthening of Fred. Olsen’s cruise ship, Braemar, is now complete and she is about to recommence her cruise programme from Southampton.
Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines has just launched its brochure of worldwide cruises for 2009-10, offering its greatest ever choice of ships, destinations and departure ports. The brochure features a total of 312 different ports and 134 countries and islands visited in the cruise programme. A total of 160 cruises is featured in the brochure.
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.
