Press release -

Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines named ‘Best Cruise Line Operator for Groups’ in the Group Travel Awards 2020 – for the ninth consecutive year!

Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines has today been named ‘Best Cruise Line Operator for Groups’ – for a record ninth consecutive year - in the Group Travel Awards 2020.

Ellie Fulcher, Sales Manager for Groups and Affinity at Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines, accepted the award at a glittering virtual awards ceremony this afternoon.

On receiving the award, she said:

“It has been an extremely challenging year for us all in the travel industry, but throughout it all we have had the support of our guests who can’t wait to get back cruising with us again.

“Thank you to each and every one of you who voted for us to win this award today. It really is a testament to the support and loyalty of all of the group travel organisers that we work with. To win it this year, after everything, makes this award extra special. And to be able to say we have won it for nine consecutive years – just wow! It really is a privilege working with you all, and long may it continue.

“We can’t wait to welcome you and your groups back on board our new look fleet very soon.”

Fred. Olsen beat off stiff competition from the other cruise lines in this category, including Cruise & Maritime Voyages, Hurtigruten, Emerald Waterways and P&O Cruises.

Fred. Olsen is committed to offering groups the very best, tailor-made cruise experience, whatever their appetites and interests. Fred. Olsen's bespoke groups service appeals to those travelling in a group, with family or friends, or with their local club, association or society, and Fred. Olsen can also offer an entire ship for an exclusive full-ship group.

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.
