Sail along German rivers and waterways from Belfast with Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines this Summer

Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines is offering guests in Northern Ireland and Ireland the chance to take a 12-night ‘German Canals, Rivers & Cities’ cruise from Belfast for the first-time ever, setting sail on 1st August 2016, fromjust £67 per person, per night!

This great-value sailing is possible due to Boudicca’s smaller, more intimate size – allowing her to glide along German canals, waterways and rivers, whilst calling at fascinating and picturesque cities along the way.

Nathan Philpot, Sales and Marketing Director for Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines, said:

“The popularity of our Belfast sailings has grown and grown. Now in our fourth cruise season from this convenient port, we wanted to offer our loyal customers and ‘new-to-cruise’ guests in Northern Ireland and Ireland something extra-special this year – the opportunity to experience one of our most popular river cruise itineraries and get to see Germany in a very different way. And, without the need to travel far to meet your ship, there is so much included in the cost of a Fred. Olsen holiday!”

The details of this new Fred. Olsen ex-Belfast cruise are as follows:

Boudicca’s 12-night D1614A ‘German Canals, Rivers & Cities’ cruise, ex Belfast on 1st August 2016. Prices start from just £799 per person. http://www.fredolsencruises.com/places-we-visit/cruise-holiday/german-canals--rivers-and-cities-d1614a?referrer=7&isback=1

After a cruise through the Kiel Canal, the first port on this German waterways sailing is Travemünde, for trips into UNESCO-listed Lübeck. This enchanting town will make guests feel as though they have been transported back to the 14th Century!

Boudicca will then arrive in Hamburg, for two nights. Here, guests can choose to take in the culture of this fantastic Hanseatic city, with over 60 museums, or the world-famous Reeperbahn, with its theatres, bars and lively nightlife.

Guests will then have the chance to relax out on Boudicca’sdeck, as shecruises along the River Elbe and the River Weser, before arriving in Bremen, for an overnight stay. Famous for its beer, breweries and traditional pubs, guests can soak up the local culture, or take a look around St. Peter’s Cathedral.

Boudicca will then make a stop in Dublin, renowned for its warm welcome, history and culture. Guests can wander through the streets of this vibrant city, taking in the many museums and monuments, or take a tour to the Guinness Storehouse, for a taste of the famous ‘Black Stuff’.

All prices are based on two adults sharing a twin-bedded, Interior Room, and include accommodation, all meals and entertainment on board, and port taxes.

Guests can also choose to upgrade to Fred. Olsen’s ‘all-inclusive’ drinks package for just £10 per person, per night.

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.
