Discover the majestic scenery of Norway on a winter sailing with Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines

Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines is offering guests the choice of two ‘Norway Winter’ cruises, on either Balmoral, departing on 20th January 2017 from Southampton, or Braemar, sailing from Dover on 18th March 2017. At this time of year, guests will be able to experience and admire Norway’s breathtaking scenery at its very best – with the clean air at its most crisp and the mountains coated in blankets of white.

Taking a cruise to Norway during the winter months also offers a variety of shore tour experiences that are not available during the summer. Cruise guests will have the chance to visit an ice hotel, go in search of the elusive Aurora Borealis – often known as the ‘Northern Lights’ – visit the impressive Tromsø Arctic Cathedral and have a go at some winter activities, including snow-shoe trekking, tobogganing, husky sledding and snowmobiling!

In addition, guests that book one of these ‘Norway Winter’ sailings by 12th October 2016 can benefit from up to 20% off their cruise fare.

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.
