Fred. Olsen Announces Fuel Surcharge Effective 10th June 2008

The supplement will be £5.00 per person per night for the first two occupants of a cabin, and £2.00 per person per night for the 3rd and 4th occupants of the cabin. The supplement will be capped at a maximum of £90.00 per person per cruise.

“The global price of fuel has increased significantly and we have delayed implementing this increase for as long as we possibly can” said Mike Rodwell, managing director of Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines. “Because our programme from April 2009 onwards took into account the fuel cost at that time, we are able to maintain our published prices at present for those cruises” he continued.

Fred. Olsen operates a fleet of five ships: Black Watch, Boudicca, Braemar, Black Prince and latest addition to the fleet, Balmoral.

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.
