Fred. Olsen Celebrates First Fly-Cruise To Miami from Stansted

To celebrate the occasion, Fred. Olsen’s sales team, led by regional sales manager Angela Flynn, laid on a special Caribbean welcome for the passengers boarding at Stansted. They were greeted by a steel band, given fruit punch to drink (non-alcoholic, of course, as it was 6am!) and each customer had a flower garland to get them in the mood.

Angela said: "We are delighted to be using Stansted for so many of our Caribbean fly/cruises as it is so convenient for many of our customers, easily accessible and exceptionally well run. "

There are no fewer than 26 departures from Stansted featured in the current cruise brochure, with fly/cruises to the Mediterranean and Florida from this airport. All Fred. Olsen’s charter flights are exclusive to their customers and are fully escorted from airport to ship by their own personnel, ensuring a stress-free and relaxed start to the cruise holiday.

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.
