Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines launches ‘Warmer Cruising’ brochure of great-value winter 2013/14 cruises

Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines has launched a new ‘Warmer Cruising’ brochure, offering a selection of tempting cruises, departing between September 2013 and February 2014. These cruises are ideal getaways for the winter and offer some excellent savings, with prices starting from just £49 per person per night, with the opportunity for cruise guests to upgrade to Fred. Olsen's ‘all-inclusive’ drinks package for just £10 per person per night (£39 per person, per night for mini-cruises, £29 per person, per night for ‘festive’ sailings).

The launch of Fred. Olsen's new 'Warmer Cruising' brochure is being supported by a regional TV campaign on selected ITV1 regions, and nationally on digital channels, such as ITV3,  referencing 'cruise from Belfast / Dover / Southampton with Fred. Olsen', along with a national advertisement.
 
The cruises contained within the new 'Warmer Cruises' are on board the four friendly and intimate Fred. Olsen ships - Black Watch, Boudicca, Balmoral and Braemar - and depart from Southampton, Dover and Belfast, to destinations including the Caribbean, Canary Islands, Mediterranean, Northern Europe and the Baltic. Fred. Olsen’s range of mini-cruises and festive cruises are also featured, as well as the new programme of Canaries fly-cruises aboard Braemar, launching in November 2013.

Examples of the excellent prices available in the new ‘Warmer Cruising’ brochure include:

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.
