Fred Olsen Cruise Lines
"It’s not just about seeing the world, it’s about who you see it with. We took home almost as many phone numbers as we did memories."
Fred. Olsen’s smaller, more intimate ships help to create a warmer, friendlier atmosphere. Guests and crew quickly get to know each other, friendships are forged and soon everyone feels comfortable, at home and able to be themselves. As a family-run company, Fred. Olsen prefer a more personal approach. They know that the little things can mean a lot, like the crew member who remembers your name and the barman remembering your favourite drink. When you’re on a Fred. Olsen cruise, you’re a person, not a cabin number. The size advantage of Fred. Olsen’s ships and their more human scale means that they can take you places that mammoth cruise liners can’t – sailing close to the heart of some of the world’s most beautiful cities and breathtaking landscapes. Wherever and whenever you choose to travel with Fred. Olsen, you’ll enjoy a level of service and a feeling of warm camaraderie that’s unique. It’s an experience that many choose to enjoy over and over again. Departures operate throughout the year from Dover, Southampton, Liverpool, Newcastle, Leith, Greenock, Belfast, Dublin, and Waterford, as well as numerous fly/cruise options.
