Be spellbound by Norway’s mighty fjords on a Fred. Olsen smaller-ship cruise

Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines has launched a new brochure, entitled ‘Spellbinding Norway’, dedicated to its range of ‘Norwegian Fjords’ holidays in 2017 and 2018. It showcases nine unique itineraries in 2017, and nine in 2018, ranging from a ‘Five-Night Fjords’cruise aboard Balmoral, departing from Newcastle on 23rd August 2017 – the ideal ‘taster break’ for those who have not cruised before – to Braemar’s eight-night ‘Scenic Fjords & Waterfalls of Norway’ sailing, departing from Southampton on 16th May 2018.

Justin Stanton, Sales and Marketing Director for Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines, said:

“With Norwegian heritage that dates back to 1848, and smaller ships that can sail into places out of reach to larger vessels, Fred. Olsen can show you this remarkable region like no one else.

“As the Norwegian cruise specialist, we take the time to deviate away from the direct routes, bringing our guests ‘closer’ to sheer mountainsides, stunning scenery and breath-taking waterfalls…and sailing from a northeastern departure port, such as Newcastle, means that you can be in the fjordland just 24 hours after slipping anchor in the UK!”

Fred. Olsen’s ‘Norwegian Fjords’ itineraries are the Number One best-seller for new-to-cruise guests, and receive some of the cruise line’s best feedback.

The outstanding cruises available in Fred. Olsen’s new ‘Spellbinding Norway’ brochure include:

Fred. Olsen’s cruise programme is also underpinned by its industry-leading Enjoyment Promise: if guests book at least 12 weeks in advance, on cruises of five nights or more, and find that the cruise is not for them within 48 hours of sailing, they just need to let Guest Services know on board and Fred. Olsen promises to arrange and pay for their flight back to the UK from the next port and repay the cost of their cruise.

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.
