Welcome to the third season of Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines’ successful Civilisations cruises.
Each is designed to appeal to lovers of culture and the arts. Individuals who expect not just to travel in comfort and luxury, but to also learn about and be enriched by the places they visit.
Accompanied by experts in their fields, you'll cruise to some of the most fascinating and beautiful places on earth. Special lectures and exclusive excursions will bring a variety of subjects to life, enabling you to learn more about the artistic, political and social forces that have shaped the places you'll visit.
The aim of Civilisations is to provide you with even greater fulfilment and enjoyment from your cruise; to open your eyes to a range of subjects and cultures. Now in its third season, the programme has been extended to include Balmoral, alongside Boudicca and Black Watch.
Time to watch the world go by...
Grand Voyages are the ultimate indulgence journeys of a leisurely duration, reflecting the unhurried nature of travel from a bygone era. An opportunity to spend relaxing days at sea and explore exotic destinations not on the charts of an ordinary cruising holiday.
In a speed-obsessed and changing world, this is your opportunity to run away to sea. To a place which still upholds the traditions of an altogether more refined and leisured time. Welcome to Grand Voyages with Fred. Olsen.

If your holiday budget is limited this year and you haven't yet booked your Summer holiday, you probably think you'll be stuck on a Costa somewhere or rediscovering the delights of a wet promenade in Eastbourne. But you'd be wrong...
Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines can offer you the luxury of a cruise holiday at prices you'd normally associate with a package tour. These great value summer breaks start from as little as £549 per person for a seven day cruise.
Twelve fantastic cruises, each with superb musical accompaniment: from the Magic of Motown, performed by Lulu, to the peerless jazz of trumpeter Kenny Ball; and from The Drifters to the 60's hits of The Merseybeats.
Headlining this year is music legend and national treasure, Lulu, who’s enjoyed hits in every one of the past five decades! She will be joined on board Boudicca by Jazz saxophonist Leo Greenand his band The Leo Green Experience, who will be performing hits from America’s most influential record label – Motown.
Don’t miss the boat this summer with cruises to the lands of the midnight sun, and take the scenic route to the beauty of northern waters.
Fred. Olsen’s unique fleet of five appealing cruise ships is waiting to slip anchor this summer for some of the most breathtaking landfalls on the planet. The friendly, experienced crews on Balmoral, Boudicca, Black Watch, Braemar and Black Prince will welcome you on board before setting sail through the legendary waters of the Baltic, Scandinavia, Northern Europe and the British Isles.
Looking forward through to early 2011, this latest programme of cruises really does offer a very wide variety of destinations. Our aim, of course, is always to offer new experiences for our regular travellers, whilst ensuring that the world’s most popular cruise venues are still included.
Our choice of departure ports continues to develop, with Boudicca spending all the summer offering a variety of cruises from northern British ports. Popular demand from our guests in the South has also led us to offer more Southampton sailings in 2010. Highlight voyages in 2011 will include Balmoral’s epic 108-night Southern Hemisphere World Cruise and Black Watch’s most intensive ever exploration of South America. More breadth has also been introduced to Braemar’s Winter 2010/11 Caribbean fly-cruise programme.
All our colleagues on board take great pride in the quite unique atmosphere which has become our tradition. Amongst both our staff and passengers, lasting friendships are formed. To those of you who have yet to sail with us, we look forward to welcoming you into the family… to our Oceans members, welcome back!
