You
While our vessels are on a more accessible scale, you can have just as much private space. With fewer people on board it’s easy to find a quiet spot. There’s room to stretch out by the pool, and you can get ashore faster too. And when you’re ashore, you’re seeing the best of each port with hundreds – not thousands – of others, giving you a much more authentic experience. Algarve Service with a smile
In fact, 97% of guests rated Fred. Olsen’s friendly, attentive staff ‘Excellent’ or ‘Good’.

Time to explore We’re focused on giving guests more time to explore. Rather than cram in as many ports as possible and rushing time ashore, Fred. Olsen limits the number of calls, so your time in each destination will be an immersive, rewarding experience. As well as calling at captivating destinations, perfectly timed scenic cruising means guests can enjoy the views from the open deck, in the lounges, or from the floorto-ceiling vistas of their room if a Juliette Balcony Room or Suite is booked.
40 Our ship, Brabant No matter which itinerary you choose, you’ll find Brabant the perfect base for your adventures. With around 150 fellow guests, you’ll find a relaxed atmosphere on board, complemented by roomy public areas and accommodation over four decks. Casual entertainment each evening, leisurely drinks and conversation with new-found friends is the norm. Step aboard for an unforgettable journey you’ll treasure for years to come, all with our signature Fred. Olsen service as standard. Destinations to inspire In 2020, we’ll be visiting areas rarely explored by river ships, such as the scenic riverside towns of Luxembourg and the wildlife-rich reed beds of the Danube. Brabant is slightly smaller than many other river ships, an advantage which really comes into its own while cruising the Moselle River, where she can navigate narrow areas all the way down to Luxembourg. The highlights are many. Perhaps you’ll opt to capture the Netherlands at its flourishing, floral best during tulip season and witness the sentinel-like windmills at Kinderdijk. Or perhaps you’ll unearth a wealth of landmarks and history along the Rhine; enjoy a beer-themed journey of discovery; explore ancient castles and fortresses; or even sample art, architecture and music in the culture-rich capital cities of the Upper Danube. The possibilities are exhilarating, and they’re all yours. Mouth-watering food Dining is always an essential part of your holiday experience, and the cuisine on board Brabant is sure to be one of the highlights of your river cruise. As well as casual breakfast and lunch options, the three-course lunch and five-course à la carte dinner menus feature a range of tempting dishes, including classic favourites, daily fish and vegetarian options, as well as regional dishes inspired by the destinations on your itinerary.
