Fred Olsen Cruise Lines

The cruise with a real home-away-from-home feeling

Fred Olsen Cruise Lines have been in existence for around 150 years – plenty of time to refine and define the perfect cruise experience. Their cruise ships are smaller than the average, so the atmosphere onboard is very friendly, relaxed and intimate.

Whichever cruise ship and itinerary you choose, you’re sure to want to come back. Fred Olsen Cruise Lines regularly refresh their itineraries because they have such a high level of repeat passengers.

What’s special about a Fred Olsen Cruise?

It’s all down to the human scale of Fred Olsen cruise ships. Most carry around 900 passengers so the atmosphere’s rather like an intimate house party where everyone is friendly and on first name terms. Your crew will get to know you, not just your cabin number, and your barman will surprise you by remembering your favourite drink.

The smaller size of Fred Olsen cruise ships also means they can take you right into the heart of some of the most breathtaking locations.

What is there to do onboard?

There’s plenty to relax and entertain you on a Fred Olsen cruise so you can tailor your cruise holiday to suit you.

Try your hand at a traditional game of deck quoits, tone up in a fitness class, play bridge, do a spot of duty free shopping and lots, lots more.

Fred Olsen Cruise Lines caters mainly for adults and although there are facilities for children this cruise line would not be as suitable for families with active children as some others.

Your night time cruise entertainment

When night falls on your Fred Olsen cruise you can join new-found friends in the Neptune Lounge for an evening of cabaret, stand-up comedy, music or dancing.

Don’t miss the review shows with their little bit of West End glitter and join the fun of a theme night – there’s everything from Country & Western to hits from the 60s, whatever turns you on.

Dining aboard your cruise ship

Lunch is a casual affair on a Fred Olsen cruise;

• Relax over a meal in your cabin
• Grab a bite in a café
• Eat al fresco down by the pool

At night, push the boat out and sip a cocktail before indulging in a five course dinner in one of the cruise ship’s formal restaurants.

If you prefer a more laid-back dining experience, you can also eat bistro-style or the late-night buffets are a popular port of call.
