Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines

Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines has defined and refined the cruise experience, and judging by the number of passengers that come back time and again, they seem to have styled it to perfection.

Many of today's ships are so vast that passengers feel removed from the very essence of a cruise. Not so with the four distinctive Fred. Olsen vessels. Rather than impersonal floating leviathans, Braemar, Black Watch, Boudicca and Balmoral are smaller ships where the emphasis is on you - a welcome guest and not just a cabin number.

By operating smaller vessels they can moor in the very heart of things where it is often a short walk down the gang-way to shore rather than a lengthy tender ride to port. What's more you will be able to come and go as you please, maybe to pop back for lunch or drop off your shopping bags before you head back ashore to explore some more.

The Fred. Olsen Difference
* Personal & friendly service
* Traditional British cruising
* English speaking crew
* Sterling currency on board
* 218 single cabins across the fleet
* Value for money (see What’s Included)
* Cruises of all durations (2–119 nights)
* High customer loyalty
* Fantastic cuisine
* Great entertainment
* We visit over 200 exciting destinations

Smaller, Friendlier Ships
* Interesting and more varied itineraries; Fred. Olsen ships can sail to smaller ports that bigger ships cannot reach
* Less tendering; more time ashore
* Family run business
* More sociable atmosphere on board than ships with thousands of passengers
* Friendlier service where guests are remembered by name, not just a number

What’s Included
*Comfortable en suite room accommodation, including TV, hairdryer, individual air conditioning, and in-room safe (or use of free safety deposit boxes).
*Fine dining, informal buffets and late-night snacks throughout the day and early evening.
*Complimentary tea and coffee during the day and early evening at selected venues.
*Morning coffee with biscuits, and afternoon sandwiches and cakes.
*In-room sandwiches and snacks.
*All evening entertainment, including cabarets and dancing.
*Captain's cocktail party and gala buffet.
*On board leisure facilities, including swimming pools, Jacuzzis and use of gym equipment.
*Daily on board activities and free lectures.
*Vistas special interest programmes, or Music & Laughter headline entertainers on many cruises (relevant Shore Tours and some add-ons may be chargeable).
*All port taxes for UK ports, Scottish ports of call and UK airport departure taxes (where collectable in advance).

UPGRADE TO ALL INCLUSIVE
Fred. Olsen cruise is always great value, with so much included in the price. Now you can add even more value to your holiday by upgrading to All Inclusive from just £19 per person, per night* (£35 per person, per night on cruises of five nights or less and Speciality Sailings).

You can enjoy selected beers, wines, spirits and soft drinks, all for one set price. Plus, you will be entitled to 50% discount off premium and branded drinks too.

*Please note: If you wish to upgrade to All Inclusive Drinks, you must purchase the package for all guests on your booking, with the exception of children/youths where the purchase is not compulsory.
