Check Out the Great New Improvements To My Cruises

“My Cruises” is a personalised section on the Fred. Olsen website where you can book and manage your cruises and keep a personal record of your cruise history.

Now, there have been some important new improvements and you can get more than ever out of the site.

When you log onto My Cruises – protected by your personal user name and password – you can:-

Book and manage your future cruises
Change personal details
View your cruise history – just like an online journal
View your Ocean’s Club membership status and check on your points (you can also download the Ocean’s newsletter here)
View the weather via a live feed in ports you are planning to visit
Check fly/cruise and pre and post cruise stay options
Complete your passenger information online
Research and book shore excursions for your future cruises - coming soon!

The site is more colourful and user-friendly, secure and, as well as being a useful “one stop shop” for all your cruise planning, it acts as a great record of your cruise history and a store for memories.

Shona Michell, Senior New Media Executive for Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines said: "My Cruises is a complete online resource for planning, researching and booking cruises and extras and a good reference guide for each customer’s personal cruise history. We think the new additions will make it even more popular and useful."

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.
