Join Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines on a sailing to warmer climes
Leave the dreary mornings and grey skies at home and join Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines on a voyage to warmer climes.
Travellers looking to escape the cooler weather or set sail on a new adventure can enjoy a variety of cruise options this autumn and winter.
Destinations such as the sun-drenched Canary Islands and the Caribbean offer balmy climates, turquoise waters and beautiful beaches all year round, while guests can explore the natural wonders of Mount Teide in Tenerife and the volcanic lava fields of Lanzarote.
In the Caribbean, guests can stroll ashore to experience the islands’ history and culture, go in search of wildlife in the shadow of the Pitons on St Lucia or look for dolphins both ashore and on board.
Clare Ward, Director of Product and Customer Service at Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines, said:
“Whether you are looking to escape for some sunshine as the cooler temperatures draw in at home, or if you want to look forward to a new experience as the year draws to a close, I am sure there will be a cruise to tempt you.
“Our Journey Planners have designed hand-crafted itineraries giving guests the opportunity to discover real insights about the history, culture and nature of the places they are visiting.”
