Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines’ is offering holidaymakers in and around the Essex area a choice of two festive sailings from London Cruise Terminal, London Tilbury in December 2016, on board 804-guest ship Black Watch; a seven-night W1624 ‘German & Danish Christmas Markets’ cruise, departing on 15th December 2016; or an 11-night W1625 ‘Tinsel & Hogmanay’ departure, leaving on 22nd December 2016.
Why not take the stresses and strains out of the festive period this year with one of Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines four ‘Seasonal Sailings’? Guests can choose to celebrate Christmas and New Year in style on 'Balmoral', 'Braemar', 'Boudicca' and 'Black Watch', in the Canaries, Caribbean, or on Fred. Olsen’s first-ever ‘Around the UK’ Christmas cruise – fittingly named ‘Tinsel & Hogmanay’.
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.
