Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines unveils first 2023 cruise with Balmoral’s ‘North American Waterways and Canadian Fall’ sailing

Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines has today unveiled its first look into 2023 with the early release of a ‘North American Waterways and Canadian Fall’ cruise, including a maiden sailing of the Hudson River in New York.

The 34-night cruise will set sail from Southampton in September 2023 and will visit a number of Canadian ports, including St John’s in Newfoundland and Halifax, Nova Scotia. Balmoral will then head to America where highlights will include a scenic sailing of the size-restricted Hudson River, as well as the Cape Cod Canal and Chesapeake and Delaware Canal in Baltimore.

To make this sailing even more enticing, guests who book by 30th September 2020 will enjoy up to £300 per person to spend on board during their holiday.

Clare Ward, Director of Product and Customer Service, said:

“This is set to be an exceptional itinerary, timed so that guests will be able to witness the autumnal beauty of the destinations they will visit.

“This will be the first time we have sailed to Canada since 2019, and we know it is a destination that our guests always enjoy visiting with us.

“Particularly exciting will be the opportunity to cruise along the Hudson River in New York, a maiden sailing for us, made possible by the smaller size of Balmoral.

“Plus, those who book before the end of September will receive up to £300 to spend on board - on us! This means they can sit back, relax and enjoy all of the benefits of small ship cruising during their time aboard and ashore.”

Details of this exciting sailing are as follows:

Balmoral’s 34-night L2323 ‘North American Waterways & Canadian Fall’ cruise, departing from Southampton on 26th September 2023. Prices start from £5,299 per person.

This is the first itinerary to be released from Fred. Olsen’s 2023 cruise programme, and follows on from the early release of two cruises in 2022: the 17-night W2210 ‘Whales, Waterfalls & Volcanic Islands’ sailing, which was announced in partnership with ORCA last year, and the 28-night L2222 ‘Black Sea Discovery with the Mediterranean’ cruise unveiled last week.

Earlier this month, Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines announced it will be welcoming two new ships, Bolette and Borealis, into the fleet as the company looks ahead to a return to the water.

Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines’ fleet of smaller ships offers a range of exceptional cruise experiences, which have seen it named ‘Best for Itineraries’ for five consecutive years in the Cruise Critic UK Editors’ Picks Awards.

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.
