Press release -

‘The World at your doorstep’ with Fred. Olsen’s free door-to-door cruise transfers in 2018

Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines is offering guests free door-to-door transfers on a tempting selection of cruises in 2018, to be booked between 12th July and 15th August 2017 inclusive, in its new ‘The World at your doorstep’ promotion. This ‘added extra’ offer applies to 36 Fred. Olsen longer cruises in 2018, with durations between 13 and 107 nights, and is valid for distances of up to 90 or 250 UK mainland miles, each way, depending on the choice of itinerary.

Fred. Olsen’s new ‘The World at your doorstep’ offer includes Black Watch’s 16-night W1809 ‘Sun, Sea and Monaco Grand Prix’ cruise, departing from Liverpool on 18th May 2018, and Boudicca’s 22-night D1810 ‘Rome, Amalfi, Tuscany & the Italian Riviera’ sailing, departing from Dover on 30th May 2018.

Fred. Olsen’s spectacular 107-night W1825 ’Around the World with Sydney at New Year’ ‘Grand Voyage’ on Black Watch is also included in new ‘The World at your doorstep’ offer, which sets sail from Southampton on 12th November 2018. This sumptuous itinerary gives guests the chance to savour the spellbinding Sydney fireworks to welcome in the New Year, relax on the paradise islands of the South Pacific, and uncover the ‘lost cities’ of Petra in Jordan, Ephesus in Turkey, and Pompeii in Italy.

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

“This fantastic new offer removes the barriers to those who would like to book a 2018 Fred. Olsen cruise holiday, but who do not have their own transport, or are thinking about the additional transport costs to get to and from the ship.

“By giving guests who book within the set offer period free door-to-door transfers to and from their home and departure port / airport, they can relax, safe in the knowledge that we have taken care of this for them. They can then look forward to enjoying a once-in-a lifetime experience on board one of our smaller, more intimate ships – Balmoral, Braemar, Boudicca and Black Watch – which will take them ‘closer’ to their destination in Fred. Olsen’s traditional style and comfort.”

For even greater peace of mind, Fred. Olsen guests can also choose to upgrade to its great-value ‘All-Inclusive’ drinks package from just £15 per person, per night, on a selection of house wines, beers and spirits, with 50% off many premium drinks, too.

Fred. Olsen’s extensive cruise programme is reinforced by its industry-leading ‘Enjoyment Promise’: if guests book at least 12 weeks in advance, on cruises of five nights or more, and find that the cruise is not for them within 48 hours of sailing, they just need to let Guest Services know on board and Fred. Olsen promises to arrange and pay for their flight back to the UK from the next port and repay the cost of their cruise.

Fred. Olsen is proud to be voted ‘Best Ocean Cruise Line’ – for the second year in a row – in the prestigious ‘2017 Silver Travel Awards’.

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.
