Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines voted ‘Best Cruise Line Operator for Groups’ in ‘2013 Group Travel Awards’ for third consecutive year

Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines has been crowned ‘Best Cruise Line Operator for Groups’ by readers of Group Travel Organiser magazine, in its prestigious ‘2013 Group Travel Awards’, for the third year in a row.

Fred. Olsen beat off stiff competition from the other nominated cruise lines, Celebrity Cruises, Cruise & Maritime Voyages, Cunard, Norwegian Cruise Lines, P&O Cruises, Royal Caribbean and SAGA to carry off the top prize. Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines were presented with this prestigious award by TV Presenter & All-Round Action Girl, Helen Skelton at a glittering ceremony held at The Park Plaza Westminster Bridge Hotel, London.

Ellie Fulcher, Group Sales Manager for Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines, said:
“I am delighted that Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines has won this award for the third year in a row, and it is especially rewarding as it is voted for by Group Travel Organisers (GTOs) themselves. We would like to thank all those who have recognised our efforts to provide tailor-made packages for groups on board our four smaller, more intimate cruise ships.’

Sarah Jeffrey, Business Development Manager at Landor Travel Publications & Organiser of The Group Travel Awards, said:

"The Group Travel Awards are the longest established event celebrating excellence in the supply of services to group travel organisers. The winners are voted for by the readers of GTO magazine through personal experience over the last 12 months. Fred Olsen are to be congratulated on their achievement on winning their category for the third year running.”

Group Travel Organiser, Brian Moody, said this of his experience of Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines:
“Having experienced Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines before, with my wife, I had no hesitation in putting forward a mini cruise to our choir ‘Hart Male Voice Choir’ and got a response from 115 people.  They had nothing but praise for the staff, the food and the cabins; so much so that they all want to know when I can arrange the next one! I have to thank the staff in Group Sales for their help, courtesy, patience and sheer professionalism.  As far as our group is concerned, Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines is the best.’

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.
