Everything about Fred. Olsen is more personal. We’re a family-run company with a long shipping heritage. Rather than worrying about having the biggest ships, packed with gimmicks like climbing walls and zip-wires, we prefer more traditionally built, smallerscaled vessels that allow for a more personal service, where you get closer to the people and places around you.

GREAT VALUE, WHEREVER YOU SAIL WITH US

• On board leisure facilities including gym, swimming pools and Jacuzzis

• All meals throughout your cruise – from fivecourse à la carte dining, to casual buffets and late night snacks

SMALL IS BEAUTIFUL Our ships are large enough to be spacious, comfortable and uncrowded, but still small enough to be the kind of place where you can feel relaxed and able to put your feet up. This size advantage means we can reach places that some of the mammoth cruise ships can’t access, including the Spanish city of Aviles, historic Bremen and beautiful Seville, where you’ll sail with us along the Guadalquivir River right to the city centre. What’s more, we are also still welcome in the enchanting city of Venice, which is now closed to many of the huge ‘megaships’. We take you closer to your favourite destinations.

• Tea and coffee throughout the day and early evening, including morning coffee with biscuits, afternoon tea with sandwiches and cakes, and in-cabin sandwiches and snacks

• A choice of daily on board activities and lectures

For a classic cruise experience head to the Caribbean and enjoy the tranquil sandy beaches and carefree culture. What could be better than the feel of hot sand between your toes or watching the red hues of a sunset with an iced rum punch in your hand and a palm tree swaying gently in the breeze? Rich in fascinating, if turbulent, history, as well as natural beauty, the quaint towns and beautiful islands of the Caribbean have a welcome that’s as warm as the weather.

There are two further chances to visit Canada, each serving up very different sides of this wonderful country. Choose from a 28-night exploration along the majestic St. Lawrence River –with calls into cosmopolitan Montreal, historical St. John’s and beautiful Quebec – admiring enormously varied landscapes along the way. Or, opt for an unusual two week adventure taking in three Canadian provinces – Newfoundland, Nova Scotia and Labrador.

Our new 2015 Norwegian Fjords cruises feature scenic cruising like no other. Our smaller ships can take you to the heart of some of the fjordland’s most magnificent scenery, past spectacular rock formations such as Preikestolen and Kjerag, along waterways so narrow that the massive mega-ships simply can’t navigate them, and past cascading waterfalls, so close you can almost feel the spray. The journey is as rewarding as the destination. No words can accurately describe the sense of awe and wonder that cruising through the fjords will inspire in you. It’s an incredible experience, and you’ll quickly realise why this is one of our most popular regions, both with our guests and with the many captains and officers within our fleet who call this spectacular country home. Explore winding waterways lined with soaring green sides and the wildlife havens of the north: every turn presents a new landscape to take your breath away. Once docked, perhaps grab a coffee and pastry in a chic café, before touring a local art gallery in the cosmopolitan cities of the south. Whatever you choose to do, you’ll leave the fjordland wanting to return.

Mini-Cruises & Weekend Breaks

You don’t have to wait for your main holiday to travel with Fred. Olsen. You can enjoy all that cruising with us has to offer with a short break. Escape from it all for a few days, or if you’ve not cruised with Fred., ‘test the water’ and find out why more than half our guests in 2013 had holidayed with us before. Whatever the reason, a mini-cruise is an easy, stress-free way to getaway.

Visit Denmark’s replica of Graceland on the 80th anniversary of ‘The King’s’ birth; explore the sights and sounds of the vibrant Irish capital, Dublin; call into Zeebrugge for the 200 year anniversary of the Battle of Waterloo; or take the chance to see part of the famous 24 hour race in Le Mans. With no flying involved and the friendly, attentive service on board to welcome you, these mini-cruises are an excellent opportunity to rest and relax whilst discovering some fine European cities.

Grand Voyages

There’s something very special about a Fred. Olsen Grand Voyage: the anticipation and sense of adventure is unrivalled. As your ship slips anchor you and your fellow travellers will be at the start of a journey of exploration, discovering the world with new-found friends. Take in some of the most iconic and famous destinations on earth, as well as exceptional places that have escaped the regular tourist trail. Set sail in early 2016 and you’ll be immersed in some of the best places the world has to offer. On Black Watch’s Around the World cruise, your journey of discovery includes Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, a string of French Polynesian Islands, Fiji, Australia, Indonesia, Singapore, Thailand, Burma, Sri Lanka, India, Egypt and the Caribbean.

On Boudicca, explore Africa, with highlights including the Seychelles, Mauritius, Madagascar, Tanzania, Kenya, Angola, Namibia, Egypt, Mozambique and South Africa.

The ports read like a magical list of everywhere you’ve always dreamed of visiting. Little wonder, perhaps, that for many of our guests a Fred. Olsen Grand Voyage turns out to be a once-in-a-lifetime experience they choose to repeat.
