Enjoy free parking on selected Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines sailings from Portsmouth in 2024/2025

Guests can benefit from free car parking on a selection of sailings from Portsmouth with Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines.

Together with Portsmouth International Port, Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines is offering free car parking on selected 2024 and 2025 cruises departing from Portsmouth on bookings made by 24th October 2024 inclusive.

The cruising programme on board Borealis from Portsmouth offers guests the opportunity to seek out some winter warmth in the Canary Islands, search for the magical Northern Lights in Arctic Norway or experience the atmosphere of the Cadiz Carnival.

Clare Ward, Director of Product and Customer Services at Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines, said:

“We are delighted to have been able to work with our partners at Portsmouth International Port to offer free parking to guests on selected cruises from the port in November and December and into 2025.

“Our priority is to provide our cruise guests with a seamless and unforgettable experience from the moment they arrive in Portsmouth. And this offer provides them with even more value for money.

“We look forward to welcoming guests, both returning and new to Fred. Olsen, on board our ship Borealis later this winter.”

On board, guests can also look forward to a host of activities including sampling authentic flavours from the destinations their cruise will visit, spotting marine wildlife with help from conservation charity ORCA and searching the night skies for constellations on deck with Go Stargazing.

Councillor Steve Pitt, Leader of Portsmouth City Council, said:

“Portsmouth is excited to welcome Fred. Olsen and their passengers back to the port at the end of the year and give guests the best possible start to their journey with a premium valet car parking service.

“We work with expert partners so passengers can be assured knowing everything is taken care of before they board.

“Portsmouth International Port’s long-standing relationship with Fred. Olsen has brought thousands of guests to the city, who will now get to experience our new dedicated cruise terminal for their turnaround calls.”

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.
