Christmas in the Caribbean
Swapping the UK’s winter gloom for some well-earned rest, relaxation and celebration, enjoyed in and amongst beautiful Caribbean islands, makes for a simply unforgettable festive period.[ReadMoreMob] Leaving cold British shores behind, you’ll experience a transatlantic crossing on Braemar, stopping in the Azores to see São Miguel’s volcanic craters and lakes en route, before your Caribbean adventures begin. On St Kitts, perhaps ride the island’s scenic railway for vistas of ocean surf, mighty cliffs and rolling, lush-green landscapes; then enjoy a less crowded discovery of Guadeloupe’s capital, thick rainforest and volcanic peaks. Exotic, rainforest-smothered volcanic landscapes await exploration on Dominica too, as well as St Lucia, home to some of the Caribbean’s most majestic wonders – including the peaks of Twin Pitons – and St Vincent. Just before Christmas, sample Barbados’ laidback vibes and delicious rum, and revel in the sights and scents of Grenada – the ‘Spice Island’ – too.
Christmas Day is spent at sea, enjoying traditional food, fun and festivity in the company of friends, loved ones and fellow guests on board your smaller-sized ship, ahead of seeing out 2022 in style. You’ll get to seek-out Antigua’s historic sites, such as the English Harbour, and famous golden beaches, uncover the pirate history of Tortola and its natural wonders too, and discover the colonial landmarks and picturesque landscapes of St Maarten before a very special start to 2023. Experience the parades, parties and midnight fireworks of Nassau’s New Year’s Eve celebrations; you’ve time to see the scenic beauty of Bahamian landscapes, feel local culture or simply relax on sugar-white sands in Bimini and Nassau too. Finally, there are two days in Havana to capture the very essence of Cuba. You can take in Havana’s monuments and landmarks via a classic American car; sip daiquiri and mojito in their city of origin; and even enjoy an evening at the Tropicana. A wonderful end to your very special cruise.

The Fred. Olsen Difference
Our size advantage means we can take you to places that some of the larger cruise vessels simply can’t. We dock close to the heart of some of the world’s most beautiful cities and can take you on scenic cruising adventures showcasing inspirational landscapes. Our itineraries are expertly crafted to make the most of this advantage.
Aboard our smaller, friendlier ships you'll find there's plenty of room to stretch out by the pool, enjoy a drink and great conversation with like-minded guests, and make the most of your time away. Sailing with hundreds, not thousands, of others allows you to get ashore faster too, and make the most of each destination.
Each member of the Fred. Olsen team has been carefully selected for their warm and welcoming personalities. The quality of our people, supported by training and development, ensures they will give you a great holiday. In fact, 97% of guests rated Fred. Olsen’s friendly, attentive staff ‘Excellent’ or ‘Good’.
About Your Ship
Braemar is the shortest of Fred. Olsen's four smaller, friendly ocean-going cruise ships, with dimensions perfect for cruising picturesque, size-restricted rivers and docking in the heart of fascinating towns and cities.
Like the rest of the fleet, Braemar assumes the welcoming feel and intimacy of a country house hotel, and a sense of timeless style and elegance flows through the ship's comfortable bars and lounges, restaurants and spacious accommodation for up to 929 guests.
