Singing Legend Lulu Adds Star Quality To Fred. Olsen Iberia Cruise From Portsmouth

For the first time in 2009, Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines is operating cruises from Portsmouth; one of these sailings offers another first – Boudicca cruise BD0927, to Spain and Portugal, will feature top class entertainment from singing legend Lulu, performing with the Leo Green Experience.

One of the UK’s best-loved stars, Lulu has had a series of massive hit singles across five decades, since her debut single “Shout” – released when she was just 15 – made her an overnight sensation.  In addition to a stellar solo singing and acting career, Lulu has toured with some of the best-known names in show business, from The Monkees and The Hollies to The Beach Boys and Elton John.  She has also collaborated with other major stars including David Bowie, Paul McCartney and Sting – and most recently sang with Take That on their number one hit single “Relight My Fire.”  Truly a national treasure, Lulu is the only female artist to have performed on Top of the Pops in each of the last five decades! 

With a fan base that spans the generations, Lulu is one of the best-known voices in pop music – and now, Fred. Olsen cruise guests can enjoy exclusive entertainment from the singing legend that is Lulu.

The cruise departs from Portsmouth on 8th November 2009 for ten nights and visits some very cosmopolitan ports including Bilbao, Oporto and Lisbon.  Prices are from £737 per person, based on two sharing an inside twin cabin and include all meals and entertainment on board, as well as port taxes – and Lulu will be on board for two nights performing with The Leo Green Experience.  A popular jazz saxophonist, Leo also presents a show on jazz FM.  Between them they will be performing a tribute to one of America’s most influential music labels – Motown Records.  Lulu will be singing many Motown classics as well as her career defining hit, “Shout”

Marketing Manager Mike Bird said: “We are really excited to have an iconic star of Lulu’s calibre on board to entertain our guests.  Words like “superstar” and “legend” get bandied around too lightly these days – but in Lulu’s case, they really do apply.  We’re delighted to welcome her on board.”
