The remote Arctic, the northernmost region of the Earth centred on the North Pole, is characterised by its distinctive polar features of landscape, climate, plant and animal life. It’s a region blessed with natural beauty: from boiling mud pools and spurting geysers to glorious glaciers and stunning waterfalls. [ReadMoreMob]

Derived from the Greek, Arktos, referring to the northern constellation of the Bear, the Arctic is a region only recently fully-charted by bold explorers and navigators from the last century. Going beyond the Arctic Circle delivers a region of outstanding natural beauty and a mystical remoteness that many find beguiling.

Arctic cruises offer an eclectic mix of experiences: from the awe-inspiring blue icebergs of Qaqortoq to walking in the footsteps of Erik the Red from the village of Narsarsuaq. Any passion for scenery, natural beauty and wildlife is easily satiated in breathtaking landscapes witnessed on an Arctic voyage. The opportunity to catch a glimpse of whales, manatees, seals or a multitude of bird life adds to the Arctic’s distinct personality. [ReadMoreDesk]

Of course, all of this can eclipsed by experiencing two extraordinary natural phenomena unique to the region: continuous days beneath the enigmatic midnight sun, or a dazzling encounter with the elusive Northern Lights.

The Fjords of Greenland (D1918)

The whole cruise was lovely, amazing itinerary, great staff and fantastic food. We love the family feel of Fred Olsen ships everyone very friendly and because a small ship it’s much nicer as not hordes of people. Very relaxing. Loved the Boudicca we have been on all the Fred ships now they all have their own character.

Fabulous scenery, informative onboard lectures added to the experience. Lots of whale watching from deck with the naturalist on board.

So lovely to return after several years, to the unique joy of a FO cruise

Efficient, fun helpful, adventurous,varied, intelligent speakers, lovely food. The only disappointment and downside for us were the mealtimes, dinner either too early or too late....eating together with so many people in such a large unbroken space detracted from the enjoyment and pleasure. The “R.I.B.S” were fantastic. We look forward to our next trip to Amalphi in late April Must mention the importance of contribution of Chris the wildlife specialist....super.

Good cruise well run and good value for money

Good cruise overall, food, as usual, is very good. Staff are excellent and the small size of the ship giving lots of benefits when visiting small ports, especially not overwhelming the locals too much. Good tours, and room good size and in good, clean working order. Travelled with Fred Olsen a number of times, always reliable and has imaginative itineraries.

Product Rating:

Exceptional cruise, fantastic scenery and imaginative choice of ports of call. Captain Dagerlund is an exceptional officer and a role model for any cruise ship master, adventurous, engaging, inspiring and personable. A triumph of a cruise, mainly due to the captainl.

Service Rating:

Noise and vibration in cabin 3070 was very bad. Replacement cabin very noisy during day because of work shop below. Complained but nothing done. Food and entertainment excellent but difficult to see the acts.

Product Rating:

OK but expensive in Greenland. Would have liked time in Kirkwall during coach tour.

Service Rating:

small ship, very friendly, with excellent 1st class entertainment (if you take away the Elvis impersonation), and activities. Food very high standard and though we went for the cheapest accommodation it was very clean and comfortable.

Product Rating:

We had the perfect weather and it truly was a holiday destination that took my breath away.

Service Rating:

Comfortably refined cruising.

Does exactly as advertised. The clientele is mainly mature British starting at early retirees. Food has improved since I last cruised with Fred.Olsen; there is no shortage of choice, always a simple option and a British dish. The staff has a natural ability to go the extra mile to ensure your holiday pleasure, a simple example of which is the assistance they give to anyone with mobility issues to make things happen rather than preventing them from happening. The ships are small so don't expect zip-wires or go-carts, that is no what this is about. Plenty to do if you want and plenty of space to relax if you don't want.

The new RIB trips get you up close and personal to the action. Tip-toe through the icefield anyone?

difficult to find fault, excellent

Greenland was somewhere I hadn't really considered but it was very, very interesting, we had superb weather which always helps, Iceland was very enjoyable even though I had been there before and the final port was Kirkwall where I at last got to see skara brae and the weather held good just, started to pour down as we left port
