The Fred. Olsen difference

Service with a smile

With the fifth generation Fred. Olsen as Chairman, we’re led with 170 years’ worth of seafaring heritage, and in our combination of smaller, friendlier ships, warm and welcoming staff, and award-winning itineraries we believe we’ve found the perfect formula for you to get the best out of your holiday with us.

Each member of the Fred. Olsen team has been carefully selected for their warm and welcoming personalities.

The quality of our people, supported by training and development, ensures they will give you a great holiday.

In fact, 97% of guests rated Fred. Olsen’s friendly, attentive staff ‘Excellent’ or ‘Good’.

Bringing the world closer

Fred. Olsen’s Enjoyment Promise**

Our size advantage means we can take you to places that some of the larger cruise vessels simply can’t. We dock close to the heart of some of the world’s most beautiful cities and can take you on scenic cruising adventures showcasing inspirational landscapes. Our itineraries are expertly crafted to make the most of this advantage.

We’re so confident that you’ll enjoy the whole Fred. Olsen experience that if you find that it’s not for you within 48 hours of sailing, just let us know and we’ll arrange for a flight back to the UK from the next port and give you your money back. So your relaxation starts the moment you choose Fred. Olsen. **Please read Terms & Conditions on back cover before booking

Smaller but spacious While our vessels are on a more accessible scale, you can have just as much private space. With fewer people on board it’s easy to find a quiet spot. There’s room to stretch out by the pool, and you can get ashore faster too. And when you’re ashore, you’re seeing the best of each port with hundreds – not thousands – of others, giving you a much more authentic experience.

Award-winning cruises Our friendly staff and crews always work hard to give you the holiday of a lifetime. Pleasingly, this has been recognised by Fred. Olsen winning a number of recent awards, as well as attaining a guest experience rating of 4.5 out of 5, from over 34,000 independent guest reviews on Feefo.

FREE Dining Drinks & Tips You can benefit from FREE Dining Drinks & Tips on over 30 Brabant River Cruises. You’ll receive red and white house wines, a choice of beers and branded soft drinks with your lunchtime and evening meals. Plus, we’ll take care of your Tips for the Cabin Stewardess and Waiter.

European River Cruises aboard Brabant combine charming destinations with some of the most beautiful landscapes along the waterways of Europe. From the flourishing vineyards of the Moselle and imposing fortresses of the Rhine to the attraction-packed capitals along the Upper Danube, each itinerary offers a journey of discovery.

Bernkastel-Kues

All of the following is included in the price of your river cruise: • Spacious accommodation with TV, hairdryer, safe, tea & coffee making facilities and climate control • Deluxe Rituals toiletries • Gourmet dining throughout your cruise with breakfast, casual lunch, five-course à la carte dinner and late-night snacks • Afternoon tea & coffee with sandwiches and cakes • Welcome Cocktail, Welcome Dinner and Captain’s Gala Dinner • Tea, coffee & biscuits available 24 hours a day • Use of Wi-Fi • Leisure facilities including Fitness Room and bicycle hire • Casual evening entertainment, with visits from local acts

Our ship, Brabant No matter which itinerary you choose, you’ll find Brabant the perfect base for your adventures. With around 150 fellow guests, you’ll find a relaxed atmosphere on board, complemented by roomy public areas and accommodation over four decks. Casual entertainment each evening, leisurely drinks and conversation with new-found friends is the norm. Step aboard for an unforgettable journey you’ll treasure for years to come, all with our signature Fred. Olsen service as standard.

Destinations to inspire In 2020, we’ll be visiting areas rarely explored by river ships, such as the scenic riverside towns of Luxembourg and the wildlife-rich reed beds of the Danube. Brabant is slightly smaller than many other river ships, an advantage which really comes into its own while cruising the Moselle River, where she can navigate narrow areas all the way down to Luxembourg.

The highlights are many. Perhaps you’ll opt to capture the Netherlands at its flourishing, floral best during tulip season and witness the sentinel-like windmills at Kinderdijk. Or perhaps you’ll unearth a wealth of landmarks and history along the Rhine; enjoy a beer-themed journey of discovery;

40

explore ancient castles and fortresses; or even sample art, architecture and music in the culture-rich capital cities of the Upper Danube. The possibilities are exhilarating, and they’re all yours.

Mouth-watering food Dining is always an essential part of your holiday experience, and the cuisine on board Brabant is sure to be one of the highlights of your river cruise. As well as casual breakfast and lunch options, the three-course lunch and five-course à la carte dinner menus feature a range of tempting dishes, including classic favourites, daily fish and vegetarian options, as well as regional dishes inspired by the destinations on your itinerary.

Time to explore We’re focused on giving guests more time to explore.

Rather than cram in as many ports as possible and rushing time ashore, Fred. Olsen limits the number of calls, so your time in each destination will be an immersive, rewarding experience. As well as calling at captivating destinations, perfectly timed scenic cruising means guests can enjoy the views from the open deck, in the lounges, or from the floorto-ceiling vistas of their room if a Juliette Balcony Room or Suite is booked.
