Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines has announced the launch of a new, national advertising campaign, the first since the appointment of its new advertising agency, Fox Kalomaski, in late 2010.
Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines is well-known for operating a great choice of cruises from the UK, so you can reach your sunshine destination without any of the hassle of flying, and no restrictions on that summer wardrobe!
One of the delights of cruising is that you often discover an event, or special activity, happening in a port of call that was quite unexpected, but could be a real treat! Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines’ Baltic cruise L1116 aboard Balmoral includes a call into Copenhagen, on 24th September 2011, which coincides with one of the world’s greatest cycle races – the ‘UCI Road World Championships 2011’.
Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines wishes to clarify its position with regards to Fuel Cost Supplements and Fuel Surcharges, which it has levied in response to the increasing cost of fuel oil and the significant impact this has had on its operating costs.
Due to the escalating price of oil fuel, FOCL has reviewed the impact on its operating costs.
Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines has changed its website address to www.fredolsencruises.com The new .com address reflects the international nature of the cruise line, and will make access easier, wherever you are searching from.
Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines has announced the introduction of a new dining service – An Evening In – on its longer cruises, offering a more casual dinner, delivered to the suite or cabin. The new service will initially be launched on Balmoral and Black Watch, from 5th January 2011, and, if successful, will be rolled out to the other ships in due course.
Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines has launched its own official Facebook and Twitter profiles, and you can also view Fred. Olsen video footage on the cruise line’s dedicated channel on YouTube. The famous Facebook, Twitter and YouTube icons are now displayed on the home page of the Fred. Olsen website, so visitors to www.fredolsencruises.co.uk are just a click away.
Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines will be exhibiting at the Manchester and Glasgow Daily Telegraph Holiday and Travel Shows in 2011, showcasing its programme of worldwide cruises, mostly from the UK, aboard its fleet of four smaller, traditional-style ships.
Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines has always valued the personal touch, and its Reservations team is known for a friendly and helpful approach. Now, selected team members have had extra training, to help them specialise in a particular destination. This means that they will be even better placed to offer advice and useful information, when handling enquiries and bookings.
Fred. Olsen’s cruise ship, Boudicca, will be in Santa Cruz, Tenerife on Carnival Day next year – 12th March 2011. Guests on cruise D1103, departing from Southampton on 6th March 2011, will have a unique opportunity to experience all the colour and excitement of the Carnival – the biggest and most spectacular outside Rio de Janeiro in Brazil.
Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines' has created an upmarket new Fine Jewellery shop on board its Braemar cruise ship. The new stylish boutique, in the location of the former Port Shop, on Deck 5, Lounge Deck, sells some stunning fine jewellery, including pearls, some wonderful pieces from Clogau Welsh Gold, and an extensive range of coloured gemstones, as well as watches.
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.
