Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines is preparing to celebrate the ‘big day’ of Prince William and Kate Middleton on 29th April 2011, as guests on board its four cruise ships get into the spirit and join in the festivities from various parts of the world.
As part of the popular ‘Music and Laughter’ programme of cruises, with high quality, live entertainment, Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines is delighted to welcome back, for a second season, The Operababes.
As well as offering a wide range of cruises, to a host of worldwide destinations, Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines likes to offer its guests something extra, to make sure their time on board is as enjoyable as possible.
Christmas is a time for celebration and relaxation, and what better way to do both than on a sunny Caribbean cruise? Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines has a leisurely 25-night ex-UK ‘Caribbean Christmas’ cruise, W1121, aboard Black Watch, departing from Southampton on 17th December 2011.
Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines is proud of its philosophy ‘It’s all about the people’ and the cruise line is famed for its personal touch. Part of the pleasure of a cruise is to meet new people and enjoy stimulating discussion – perhaps learning something new along the way.
As part of its growing cruise enhancement programme, Vistas, Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines is delighted to announce that the artist and satirical cartoonist, Gerald Scarfe, CBE, RDI, will be joining Braemar’s cruise, M1208, to the Atlantic Islands.
Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines is pleased to announce a very special mini-cruise in 2012, which will be a real treat for rock fans. Black Watch’s mini-cruise, W1206, to Antwerp and Amsterdam, will play host to ‘Talon, the Best of Eagles’, who are celebrating their 15th anniversary in 2012.
Expedition leader, naturalist, and veteran broadcaster, Tony Soper, will be joining guests aboard Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines’ Braemar cruise to the North Cape, M1214, in June 2012. Appearing as part of its Vistas cruise enhancement programme, Tony’s expert topic will be ‘Flora and Fauna’.
The year 2012 marks the centenary of one of the most momentous events in cruising history; the tragic sinking of the RMS Titanic. To mark the occasion, Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines will be operating a mini cruise aboard its cruise ship, Balmoral.
Along with food, and of course the company of fellow guests, a key aspect in the success of any cruise is the quality of its entertainment. Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines’ ‘Music & Laughter’ programme has proved to be an enormously popular highlight on selected cruises.
Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines has just received a major accolade from group travel organisers – the cruise line has been voted ‘Best Cruise Line for Groups’ by readers of Group Travel Organiser Magazine, in the prestigious Group Travel Awards 2011.
Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines is pleased to announce that its ‘No Fuel Surcharge Guarantee’, introduced earlier this year, is now extended to cover all bookings made up to and including 31st December 2011, for cruise departures from 1st January 2012.
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.
