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

“We have seen huge demand for cruises already this year, and as a result, have extended our Cruise Sale until the end of February.

“Our Journey Planners have timed cruises to visit destinations at the best times; whether that’s to witness the Northern Lights, see the Midnight Sun or experience Canada in the Fall, we are sure there is something to suit everyone’s holiday desire.

“On our cruises, guests can discover natural wonders and fascinating wildlife, uncover captivating history and discover local culture. They can enjoy hidden gems reached on board our smaller ships such as the narrow fjords of Norway, along the River Seine to the quaint city of Rouen or seek out volcanic landscapes and marine life.
