Raise a glass (or two!) for free on a 2018/19 exotic fly-cruise with Fred. Olsen

Cheers! Guests booking one of a dozen selected 2018/19 Fred. Olsen fly-cruises, between now and 31st October 2017, can raise a glass on board and enjoy a free ‘All Inclusive’ drinks upgrade. This complimentary drinks package is available for Fred. Olsen guests making a new booking on one of 12 exotic fly-cruises included in the offer.

This new fly-cruise promotion follows hot on the heels Fred. Olsen’s successful ‘Free All-Inclusive for 2018’ offer, which applies to all new bookings made up to 18th October 2017 inclusive, on 50 chosen UK departures in 2018.

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

“Fred. Olsen’s ‘Free All-Inclusive for 2018’ drinks promotion, which runs for a limited time only, has already proved extremely popular with our guests – so we decided to extend it to cover fly-cruises to amazing far-flung destinations.

“It means that our ocean cruise guests can sit back, relax and enjoy selected house wines by the glass, selected beers, spirits and soft drinks all day and evening – in one of many exotic locations – without having to pay a penny more!

“Giving guests the chance to enjoy the luxury of free drinks on Fred. Olsen, as they discover the world on a fly-cruise on our three smaller, friendlier ships – Braemar, Boudicca and Black Watch – will further enhance their fantastic holiday experience with us.”

Examples of Fred. Olsen’s Autumn and Winter 2018/19 fly-cruises covered by its ‘Free All-Inclusive for 2018’ promotion include the following:
