Fred. Olsen Launches Cruise from Dover Brochure

Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines has launched a brochure dedicated to its programme of departures from Dover this year on its ships Balmoral and Braemar. Destinations for the 16 sailings featured in the brochure are as diverse as the Arctic, Spitsbergen, Norwegian fjords, Canary Islands, Iberia, Mediterranean and the Adriatic, with cruise lengths from seven nights to 21-nights.

Cruising from Dover is so simple, with its excellent road and rail connections, two comfy terminal buildings, and surely what has to be one of the most beautiful views from any harbour – the magnificent Dover Castle high up above the famous white cliffs standing guard over this important south-eastern corner of England.

One fascinating itinerary is on Balmoral, L1009 - a nine night cruise around the ‘Islands of the British Isles’. The cruise departs on 17th July and first port of call is Guernsey, then Dublin, the Isle of Man, Greenock (for Glasgow), cruising the Hebrides and north coast of Scotland, Kirkwall in the Orkney Isles, Invergordon and back to Dover. Prices for the cruise start at only £799 per person in an inside twin-bedded cabin. This cruise also features the Flagship Golf package, which for an additional £375 per player includes four rounds of golf on leading courses ashore, and an interesting and entertaining programme of golf and social activities for players and non-playing partners as well.

A longer holiday to warmer climes is offered by Balmoral’s 21-night cruise ‘Cultures of the Adriatic’, which sets sail on 21st September visiting Gibraltar, Sardinia, Brindisi, Venice, Split, Kotor, Palma, and Cadiz before returning to Dover. This cruise has the added benefit of Fred. Olsen’s The ArtsClub, which is a special interest programme to be found on selected cruises across the fleet. The two subjects on this cruise are ‘Choirs at Sea’, and ‘Adriatic History’. With no additional charge for the ArtsClub, prices for this cruise start at £1,479 per person in a twin-bedded inside cabin.

All four ships in the Fred. Olsen fleet are small in size, with Balmoral being the largest carrying 1,350 passengers, while Braemar takes 929 passengers, and both exude a relaxed British atmosphere complemented by the friendly staff on board.

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.
