Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines Launches Worldwide Cruise Brochure for 2011-12

Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines has launched its brochure of worldwide cruises for 2011/12, with a new, more user-friendly design. The new format includes a useful gazetteer of ports of call, listed alphabetically, so it is easier than ever to research each destination on a selected cruise. Individual cruise pages now also feature a series of highlights relevant to each cruise, making selection easier.

The range of destinations is varied and comprehensive:

  • 'Epic’ long voyages – 5 cruises
  • Iberia and Northern France – 5 cruises
  • Norway and Arctic – 22 cruises
  • Baltic – 11 cruises
  • Mini – 9 cruises
  • Mediterranean and Adriatic – 15 cruises
  • Around UK – 4 cruises
  • Canary Islands and Atlantic Islands – 21 cruises
  • Caribbean (including fly-cruises) – 22 cruises
  • Cruises on charter – 1 cruise

In total, the brochure details 115 cruises which will visit 247 ports in 115 different countries and islands, and features all four of the company’s ships: Balmoral, Boudicca, Black Watch and Braemar. Fred. Olsen is continuing its programme of regional departures with cruises leaving from Dover, Southampton, Liverpool, Newcastle, Greenock and Rosyth. Braemar continues to provide a comprehensive Caribbean fly-cruise programme in the winter, with flights from Gatwick and Manchester aboard fully escorted, exclusive Fred. Olsen charters.

The popular additional activities – ArtsClub and Flagship Golf – also feature, with many new ArtsClub topics now added to the list.

Nigel Lingard, Marketing Director for Fred. Olsen said: “We are very pleased with the new brochure, both in terms of its style and its content. It is encouraging to say that bookings looking ahead to 2011/12 are very buoyant, with certain cruises attracting a great deal of interest even before the brochure is launched – such as Black Watch's Red Sea voyage. We look forward to welcoming back many of our regular customers in 2011/12 and, of course, to seeing new faces on board.”

He continued: “With the many issues currently facing air travellers – from strikes to volcanic ash – we are confident that the popularity of cruising, with its relaxed approach and departures from UK ports, will go from strength to strength, and our bookings to date certainly seem to bear this out."

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.
