Press release -

Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines voted 'Best Cruise Line for Groups' in 2011 Group Travel Awards

Fred. Olsen beat off stiff competition from the other nominated cruise lines – Carnival, MSC, NCL, P&O, RCI and Saga - to carry off the prize.  Ellie Fulcher, Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines’ Groups Sales Executive, received the award from leading travel writer and broadcaster, Simon Calder, at a glittering ceremony in London.

The awards were presented in over 20 categories at a ceremony held at the plush Park Plaza Riverbank Hotel, near Vauxhall, on Friday 10th June 2011.

Ellie Fulcher said: “I am absolutely delighted that Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines has won this award – we have been working very hard to develop our groups business in recent years.  We have a dedicated groups brochure, and a team who work hand in hand with group travel organisers to ensure that each tailor-made booking is designed perfectly for the individual group. We also arrange regular visits to the ships, when they are in UK ports, so GTOs can see at first hand what we have to offer.  It is especially pleasing to know that the group travel organisers themselves have voted for us, and we’d like to thank then very much for their support.”

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.
