The Fred Olsen Difference

As one of Britain's best-loved cruise lines, Fred Olsen has over 170 years of maritime and seafaring experience, and are committed to making your cruise holiday special with carefully crafted itineraries onboard their fleet of four smaller scale, intimate ships - Balmoral, Bolette, Borealis and Braemar.  These small to mid-size classic ships are less crowded than larger cruise ships with a friendly, intimate atmosphere onboard complimented perfectly by the gracious, personal service provided by Fred Olsen's crew.

Due to their size, Fred Olsen's ships can sail into smaller, more remote ports and rivers that larger vessels can't reach, meaning every Fred Olsen cruise will take you into the heart of the towns and cities and even closer to the natural beauty and scenic wonders of the destinations you will visit.

Fred Olsen offers cruise sailings directly from the UK from ports all year round, including Southampton and Dover, and regularly offers regional departures from cities including Liverpool, Newcastle, Rosyth, and more, making it easy to reach your destination ship.  During the winter months, you can also enjoy fly/cruise holidays to the Canary Islands, the Caribbean and more exotic destinations, or even join one of Fred. Olsen's ships for a full world voyage.

Fred Olsen is also perfect for independent travellers, with several rooms on their ships available for single passengers.
