Cruising Fred. 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 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.

AWARD-WINNING CRUISES We’ll do our best to give you the holiday of a lifetime – but don’t just take our word for it. Although we’re a small company, we came joint-second in the most recent Which? Cruise Survey, receiving a rating of 85%: an achievement all our staff and crews are immensely proud of. We were also very pleased to have won five categories at the influential 2015 Cruise Critic UK Cruisers’ Choice Awards, Best for Itineraries at the 2015 Cruise Critic UK Editors’ Picks Awards and Britain’s Best Cruise Line for Food 2015 at the Holiday & Cruise TV Awards, a testament to the dedication and hard work of our staff.

Finally, and most importantly, in over 13,000 reviews from past guests, 95% rated us Excellent or Good, with Feefo awarding us a Gold Trusted Merchant Accreditation – in recognition of our excellence in customer service – for the second year in a row.

Perhaps that’s why more than half our guests cruise with us time and time again. There’s never been a better time to get on board with Fred. Olsen.
