Fred Olsen Cruises

Fred Olsen have been cruising for over 150 years, meaning they really know what their passengers want from a cruise.

Fred Olsen pride themselves on offering a service which provides all the facilities you could possibly want but with a relaxed, intimate atmosphere.  Past Fred Olsen cruisers are welcomed back with open arms and a warm smile from familiar faces. New Fred Olsen cruisers will experience a different style of cruising, making life long friends with other passengers and crew members.

Their ships are spacious and comfortable and small enough to take you to places other cruise lines can’t. All ships feature individual paintings and artwork from the personal collection of the Olsen family, and it’s that kind of attention to detail which give Fred Olsen that special touch.

Departures are available from Dover, Southampton, Liverpool, Newcastle, Greenock and Rosyth, meaning you don’t have to travel far to start your cruise holiday. So what’s stopping you?
