Fred. Olsen Introduces Wine Tasting Experience on Iberia Cruise

Fred. Olsen cruise lines has introduced an add-on package – a Wine Tasting Experience – on its Braemar cruise to Iberia – M1019. The host will be John Henrik Schreiner, one of Norway’s leading wine experts and chefs, and former maitre d’hôtel to the Norwegian Royal Family.

The wine tasting package will consist of two sessions, each comprising a lecture and tasting, and is charged at £25 per participant. These sessions are sure to be entertaining as John Henrik is known for his sense of humour and ability to tell historical anecdotes.

The cruise is for eight nights, departing from Dover on 19th August 2010, and visits Fowey (Cornwall), Leixoes (for Oporto), La Coruna and Bilbao (Spain), La Pallice (for La Rochelle), and returns to Dover.

Prices for this cruise (excluding the wine tasting package) start from £749 per person, based on two sharing an inside twin cabin. This price includes all the meals and entertainment on board and port taxes.

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.
