'No Fuel Surcharge Guarantee' for Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines

‘No Fuel Surcharge Guarantee’ for Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines

Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines has announced a ‘No Fuel Surcharge Guarantee’ on all bookings made up to, and including, 31st August 2011, for cruises departing from 1st January 2012.

Any Fuel Cost Supplement already applied to 2012 bookings – currently levied at 5.5% of the cruise fare paid after any relevant discounts have been deducted – will remain on the booking, but the ‘No Fuel Surcharge Guarantee’ now provides protection against any future fuel-related fare increases.

Nigel Lingard, Marketing Director of Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines, said:

“As we plan ahead for the 2012/13 cruise programme, we hope that this ‘No Fuel Surcharge Guarantee’ will provide reassurance to guests booking 2012/13 cruises up to 31st August 2011 that their fare is protected from any future fuel increases.

“We are acutely aware of the problems and uncertainty caused by this year’s surge in oil prices, with the consequent need for extra charges related to fuel costs. We, therefore, encourage guests to book at the earliest opportunity to take advantage of this ‘No Fuel Surcharge Guarantee’, particularly as we can only hold the offer until the end of August this year.”

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.
