It’s the people you’re with that make any experience special and travelling as a group makes for a great holiday: you can share all the unique moments you’ll have along the way with friends old and new. [ReadMoreMob]

If you’re a member of an association, club or corporate group, or you have friends or family travelling together, you’ll find Fred. Olsen’s smaller, more intimately sized ships suit group travel particularly well.

Larger groups can even make ‘full ship group’ bookings and enjoy an exclusive cruise on board our ships. No matter the size of your party, you and your travelling companions can cruise in confidence, knowing that every aspect of your holiday has been taken care of.

Our Groups & Specialist Sales Team are on hand to guide and advise you through the process of booking and cruising with Fred. Olsen; from the initial enquiry and quotes – which can be tailored to suit your requirements – to taking care of on board arrangements.
