Renew your wedding vows with Fred.!

Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines is now pleased to offer guests the chance to relive one of the most romantic and significant days of their lives, with its new ‘Renewal of Wedding Vows’ package, all for just £250.*

This special ‘Renewal of Wedding Vows’ celebration, across all four of Fred. Olsen’s smaller, more intimate ships – Balmoral, Braemar, Boudicca and Black Watch – includes: a romantic ceremony conducted by the master, in an attractive venue on board; a bouquet and buttonhole; a professional photographer to capture the ceremony; a special celebration cake and bottle of Champagne; and a commemorative certificate, signed by the Master.

Guests Mr. and Mrs. Beeforth, of Whitby, North Yorkshire, who are both ‘new-to-cruise’, chose to celebrate this romantic occasion on their ten-night ‘Canaries, Madeira & Morocco’ fly-cruise in February this year.

Mrs. Sheila Beeforth arranged the package as a surprise for her husband, Ian. She said: “The whole experience was absolutely fabulous! It made the holiday so special and we could not have wished for anything better. Nothing was too much trouble and I don’t think we would cruise with anyone else now.”

The couple’s service was led by Captain Bent Ivar Gangdal in the stunning Observatory Lounge on Marquee Deck 8, when Braemar was docked in Funchal, Madeira.

Danay Esnart Cardoso, Guest Relations Manager on board Braemar, said:

"It was a fantastic effort by every one on board to make this day very special for Mr. and Mrs. Beeforth, and we are thrilled to have shared this romantic celebration with them. There is an air of romance on board a cruise ship, making it the perfect time for our guests to renew their wedding vows.”

Fred. Olsen is proud to be the only UK travel company to receive a coveted ‘Gold Award’ from leading consumer review website Feefo, having achieved a 95% service rating of 'Excellent' or 'Good' in over 5,600 genuine, independent guest reviews in 2013.

Fred. Olsen was also delighted to be voted ‘Best Affordable Cruise Line’ and runner-up ‘Best Cruise Line’ in the ‘Cruise International Awards 2013’, and ‘Best Value for Money’ in the Cruise Critic ‘Editors’ Picks UK Awards 2013’.

*Due to the Captain’s extensive duties, only a limited number of ceremonies are available and these can only be performed on sea days.
