Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines' Black Watch to visit Bangor

The Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines’ ship, Black Watch, will make her first ever call into the port of Bangor, in Northern Ireland, on Wednesday 15th June 2011, as part of her cruise, W1106 ‘Dublin & Around the UK.’

The cruise departs from Dover on Friday 10th June 2011, and additionally visits St. Peter Port in Guernsey, Dublin, Greenock (Glasgow) then Bangor, before continuing on to Tobermory (Isle of Mull), Kirkwall (Orkneys Isles), and returning to Dover.

The cruise line operates a fleet of four smaller, traditional-style ships, offering cruises to a host of worldwide destinations, from a number of regional UK ports. In recent years the popularity of cruises around the UK, and to destinations closer to home has increased, and the cruise line operates several cruises around the British Isles each year, always with an eye to offering new and interesting ports of call. Excursions from Bangor include a panoramic tour of Belfast, and a visit to the World Heritage Site, the Giant’s Causeway.

Martin Lister, Planning Manager for Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines, said:

"At Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines, we are keen to promote a diverse range of exciting destinations and we are delighted to be adding Bangor as a new highlight to this year’s cruise programme. With many interesting historical and cultural attractions, we are sure that Bangor will offer our guests a fascinating new experience and we would like to thank the port, local authorities and tourism organisations for extending such a warm welcome to us on our maiden call."

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.
