​Party in Rio in style, for less, with Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines in 2018!

Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines’ guests can kick start 2018 in style at the world-renowned ‘Rio Carnival’, on an epic 46-night ‘South America with Rio’ cruise, with savings of up to 30% off the original brochure price!

Fred. Olsen’s 1,350-guest cruise ship, Balmoral, will be setting sail on this exhilarating South American adventure – exclusively for adult travellers (18+) – from Southampton on 23rd January 2018. For a limited time only, guests can book an Interior Room from just £2,999 per person – a whopping £1,400 off the original brochure price! To take advantage of this spectacular Winter saving, guests must book this cruise by 18th October 2017 inclusive.

Justin Stanton, Sales and Marketing Director for Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines, said:

“As is always the case with Fred. Olsen, there is so much included in the cruise price; if guests book this amazing South American adventure now, they can take advantage of savings of up to 30%!

“This fantastic cruise on our flagship Balmoral offers a multitude of experiences to give guests a lifetime of memories for less! The itinerary has been carefully planned to spend three nights in Rio de Janeiro, during the vibrant, colourful Carnival. The sailing to and from the Continent also includes a tempting selection of Spanish and Portuguese islands, to add to the sunshine Iberian flavour.

“And, as this South American getaway is for 18+ travellers only, our guests will be able to relax and take in this remarkable part of the world in the style and comfort of a smaller, friendlier Fred. Olsen ship, all in the company of like-minded adult cruisers.”

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.
