Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines has brought together its superb offering of world cruises and longer voyages for 2014/15 in a single brochure of ‘once in a lifetime’ cruises. The ‘Grand Voyages 2014/15’ brochure features Balmoral’s epic 104-night ‘Around the World with Burma, Japan, Hawaii & Latin America’ cruise in 2014, and Black Watch’s 114-night ‘South America and Australasia World Voyage’, visiting Latin America, Australia, New Zealand and the Far East – becoming Fred.

Balmoral’s L1501 ‘Far East Explorer’ is a sailing of 119 nights – beating the 2014 record as the longest-ever cruise! – departing from Southampton on 4th January 2015. This cruise takes in Malaysia, Japan, China, Vietnam and Thailand. It visits a total of 51 different ports, including Abu Dhabi, (UAE), Kuala Lumpur, (Malaysia), Nagasaki (Japan), Beijing (China), Utheemu (Maldives) and Athens (Greece).

Nathan Philpot, Sales and Marketing Director for Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines, said:
“These are undoubtedly the most adventurous itineraries that we have ever launched, to many ports we have not visited before, and reflect our guests’ wishes to explore the world and spend more time in the destination. The value for money of a Fred. Olsen ‘Grand Voyage’ is remarkable when you consider all that is included and the range of choices.”
