“The award for ‘Best Affordable Cruise Line’ recognises those cruise lines that offer a fantastic holiday experience, including great food, activities and entertainment, in an incredibly enticing package. Huge congratulations to Fred. Olsen for winning this highly competitive category for the second year in a row.”

“At Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines, we are committed to offering high-quality, memorable cruise holidays at a consistently competitive price, and we are pleased to see that we are clearly hitting the mark with our guests.
