A smaller ship doesn’t mean less room; far from it. Each cabin has ample space, with an en suite bathroom and all the facilities you’ll need to enjoy your holiday in comfort. In fact, our rooms are comparable in size to those on some of the mammoth cruise ships – while our vessels are of a more accessible size, you can have just as much private space. With less people on board it’s easy to find a quiet spot to relax in peace with a drink or a good book. There’s room to stretch out by the pool and you can get ashore more quickly – without the need to fight for space with hordes of people. And when you’re ashore, you’re seeing the best of each port of call with hundreds of others – not thousands – giving you a better, more authentic experience.
CruisingFred.Olsen style
THE FRED. OLSEN DIFFERENCE
We don’t have the newest ships. We don’t have zip wires, wave machines or climbing walls. We don’t have celebrity chefs or cocktail mixologists. What we do have is long-serving staff carefully chosen for their friendly, caring personalities, ‘real ships’ that are regularly improved so they cater for your every need, cuisine carefully prepared by chefs who care about their craft, not their egos, and a passion to show you the very best of the world. Most cruise lines try to keep you on their ship so you’ll spend more money with them. We encourage you to head off on a journey of discovery in every destination. There are more places to see in the world than anyone could fit in one lifetime –but at Fred. Olsen we think there’s no harm in trying.
SMALLER BUT SPACIOUS

Investigate the pirate history of Tortola; encounter St. Lucia’s bubbling Soufriere Volcano and the soaring twin Pitons; search for Sea Turtles in Barbados; and take a ride on the Scenic Railway in St. Kitts.
