Fred Olsen

Operating four smaller, traditional-style cruise ships, carrying around a thousand passengers or fewer in comfortable, relaxed and friendly surroundings. The ships are reminiscent of the Golden Age of cruising, with generous amounts of open deck space, light and airy public rooms, comfortable well-equipped cabins and a good selection of facilities. An atmosphere of informal, friendly, relaxation is encouraged and the general ambience is similar to that of a country house hotel.

The current fleet consists of Boudicca, Black Watch, Braemar and Balmoral – who most recently joined the fleet in January 2008.

Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines ships travel to destinations worldwide and vary in duration from two or three night mini cruises, to epic round the world voyages of more than a hundred nights.

Destinations include the Mediterranean, Baltic, Scandinavia, Arctic Circle, the Adriatic, the Canary Islands, Caribbean, Africa, South America, the Far East, Australasia, and round Britain. Most cruises are ex-UK, many from Dover or Southampton, but increasingly from regional ports including Liverpool, Newcastle, Greenock and Rosyth.
