Enjoy family savings on selection of summer breaks with Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines
Families looking to get away on a last-minute break can enjoy special savings on a selection of Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines this summer.
Across August, third and fourth guests can sail from just £199 per person when sharing a cabin with two full-paying adults.
These family savings are available on six cruises in August, with departures available from Liverpool, Newcastle, Dover, Southampton and Rosyth.
Durations range from eight to 15 nights with opportunities to explore the lesser-visited islands of the Azores, to sail into the spectacular Norwegian fjords or experience the wonders of Iceland.
Four of these sailings will feature Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines’ Little Skippers kids’ club, where children can enjoy a host of activities, plus take their pick at meal times from a specially curated children’s menu.
Clare Ward, Director of Product and Customer Services at Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines, said:
“At Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines, we take pride in offering great value for money by not imposing a huge premium on our prices during the summer holidays.
“We love welcoming multi-generational families on board our smaller ships, where they can enjoy making unforgettable memories with their loved ones.
“Opportunities in our hand-crafted itineraries include the opportunity to witness thundering waterfalls and spurting geysers in Iceland, see beautiful hydrangeas when they’re in bloom in the Azores and spot marine wildlife with conservation charity ORCA.”
