Fred. Olsen’s smaller, more intimate ships are a hit with UK cruisers for their inspiring itineraries and personalised onboard programmes

Even with 175 years under its belt, UK-based Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines is still winning over new cruisers with its creative itineraries and interesting range of activities, enrichment and entertainment onboard.

Sailing a fleet of smaller ships, guests with Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines are treated to the comfort and personalised service that transforms a cruise experience into something truly memorable.

And by focusing on the traditional elements of what makes cruising so enthralling, a Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines holiday never goes out of fashion.

It’s the little touches that stand out, from the comfort of your bartender knowing your favourite drink without you having to ask, to a traditional turndown service in the evening, cosily transforming your cabin with dimmed-lighting and a little chocolate on your pillow, ahead of a restful night’s sleep.

Travel solo or with company

Increasingly, guests are choosing to cruise solo, comforted by the balance of personal space and opportunities to socialise onboard.

This makes a Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines voyage an ideal choice if you’re planning your first holiday on your own, as they offer dedicated solo traveller offers, and you’ll be in good company onboard (when you want to be).

Choosing a solo traveller offer helps keep the cruise within budget as you’ll free yourself from the huge single supplements that are common across cruise lines. There’s still a small supplement to pay, but it’s far reduced.

Set sail at the end of October from Southampton to enjoy 14 nights onboard Borealis, exploring the cultures and cuisines of the Mediterranean. You’ll visit Gaudi’s remarkable Sagrada Familia in Barcelona, and soak in the local scene in Oporto (perhaps with a glass of port).

Or, if you’re really feeling like an adventure, treat yourself to a solo traveller deal on Bolette’s 110-night world cruise – there’s nothing quite like circumnavigating the world on a beautiful cruise ship.

Embrace your adventurous side

Unlike some of the larger cruise conglomerates, Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines is a smaller family-owned company, and that can be felt throughout, with the personalised touches and relaxed atmosphere.

But it also enables them to be a bit cheeky sometimes and have a bit of fun – as families do.

And, with that, we introduce to you the Fred. Olsen Mystery Cruise: a cruise where no one onboard knows where it’s going. Well, we assume that Captain knows, but none of the guests.

Everyone books it with the same light-hearted spirit of adventure. An opportunity to throw caution to the wind and see where it takes you. A chance to enjoy all the reliable, top-quality service and enriching entertainment that Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines is well-known for, with an element of surprise thrown in.

Wherever it goes, we can be pretty sure it’s a great itinerary – Fred Olsen. Cruise Lines itineraries always are.

All we know is that it’s 11-nights and sets sail from Southampton on November 12, 2024. Are you ready for an adventure?
