Cruise Voyages
The essence of longer cruising is relaxation. Put the hectic pace of modern life behind you on a cruise voyage and you realise that there is more to life than rush, rush, rush. Sit back, relax and take life at your own pace. Such a halcyon journey is far removed from the regular style of shorter cruises… a voyage into space and leisure where you can rediscover that most elusive of qualities, time.
-

Great Value Summer Holiday Cruises 2009

Highlights Of The World
There is always something special about a long cruise across the world; the excitement and sense of adventure is almost palpable. Joining a sector of a cruise voyage provides entrance to a unique event, without having to devote the full three months or more to it (however tempting, sometimes there just isn’t enough time). Become part of a special band of intrepid
travellers and explore some of the most iconic and exciting destinations on earth - as well as places that have escaped the well-trod tourist trails.

Latin American Adventures
Forget flying down to Rio, cruising there is so much more fun! Especially on board Boudicca, with her arrival timed to coincide with the run-up to the celebrated Carnival that turns the Brazilian city into a maelstrom of noisy crowds.
Whilst there can be few travel experiences more desirable or extravagant than such a voyage, not everyone has the luxury of time to undertake all 72 nights on board. With this constraint in mind, Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines are offering shorter individual Southern American adventures to some of the most exciting destinations in the region.
These are holidays which will really get under the skin of South America, but also have plenty of variety to allow you to sit back and reflect on the extraordinary people met and places experienced.

You'll be treated to entertainment ranging from Motown, Swing and Dixieland to hot Salsa and classical Opera. With the intimate scale of Fred.

Summer Sail 2008
Sailing into the sunset without sailing into the red.
Fred. Olsen’s fleet of cruise ships is ready to take you to some of the world’s most breathtaking locations at specially discounted prices.
Our Summer Sail reductions for 2008 offer exceptional value on thirty-nine cruises covering a wide range of durations and destinations.
All our ships – Balmoral, Boudicca, Black Watch, Braemar and Black Prince – will welcome you on board with savings of up to 55% on the standard cruise cost. And our Star Buy cruises are even easier on the bank balance.
However, as you’d expect, such unfathomably low prices are capacity controlled and only available for a very limited period – so there’s no time like the present to book your discounted Summer Sail cruise. We’d really hate you to miss the boat.

Warmer Winter Cruises
For most of us, winter is the season of grey skies, umbrellas and overcoats. A time to batten down the hatches and wait for spring.
But it’s also a great time to escape the worries of everyday life on a Fred. Olsen late autumn or winter cruise. We can take you away from it all for a few magical weeks, or even months, on a selection of carefree cruises in the Caribbean, around the Canaries, across the Atlantic, or round and about in European waters. And with the special seasonal rates and on board spending credit to use as you wish, on selected cruises, we guarantee to bring a warm glow to your winter.

Worldwide 2008/2009
This new programme of cruises reflects exciting times for all of us at Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines, and indeed, for our many loyal passengers. 2008 sees two very important introductions - in January we will welcome Balmoral to the fleet, and in July Braemar will re-enter service after a major refit.
Our Norwegian heritage means that we are 'at home' in Scandinavian waters, and we really do enjoy sharing the beauty of the fjords or the summer sunshine of the Baltic cities.
We are genuinely very proud of the special atmosphere found aboard our intimate ships, and our staff look forward to welcoming you on board.
