Cruise Line Operators

Our ships are smaller, warmer, and full of charm. With space to relax and thoughtful touches throughout, they offer a more personal way to cruise. We’ve preserved the timeless pleasures of sea travel, but shaped them for today, with comfort, character and a relaxed sense of occasion that is perfect for group travel.

We design our itineraries to blend iconic destinations with lesser-known gems, creating journeys that enrich and inspire. Whether you’re seeking famous sights or quiet corners, our sailings are carefully curated to help you and your group explore the world in a more thoughtful and rewarding way.
 
Most of our cruises sail from the UK, offering the convenience of joining your ship close to home. Whether it’s Liverpool, Newcastle, Rosyth (for Edinburgh) or Southampton, there’s a Fred. Olsen departure point within easy reach.

The smaller size of our ships allows us access to more interesting places, such as Norway’s lesser known Fjords, or the islands of the Azores. It also means we can dock in the centre of some of the world’s most fascinating cities. Our fly cruises offer the chance to start exploring as soon as you arrive as our specially chartered aircraft will take you to the heart of your chosen destination.



Great Value Cruising
For those guests booked on a Freedom Fare, alongside full-board dining, entertainment and enrichment talks, you’ll enjoy complimentary guided walks ashore, shuttle buses for ports over a mile away from your ship, and fitness centre access and classes. Port taxes, fees and gratuities are also included, along with our satisfaction guarantee.

Plus, selected house beer and wine by the glass, as well as draught soft drinks, with lunch and dinner are included – so you can unwind and savour every moment, knowing everything is taken care of.


Award-Winning Group Travel

It’s the people you’re with that make any experience special and travelling as a group makes for a great holiday: you can share all the unique moments you’ll have along the way with friends old and new.
If you’re a member of an association, club or corporate group, or you have friends or family travelling together, you’ll find Fred. Olsen’s smaller, more intimately sized ships suit group travel particularly well.

Larger groups can even make ‘full ship group’ bookings and enjoy an exclusive cruise on board our ships. No matter the size of your party, you and your travelling companions can cruise in confidence, knowing that every aspect of your holiday has been taken care of.

Here at Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines, it's all about the people, and we take great care to ensure that they are at the heart of everything we do. We’re proud to be an award-winning cruise line, voted for by those who are the best judges of how we’re doing - our guests and travel industry experts!
