The Fred. Olsen difference We don’t have glitzy ships. We don’t have zip wires, climbing walls, celebrity chefs or cocktail mixologists. What we do have is long-serving staff specially chosen for their friendly, welcoming personalities, ‘real ships’ that are regularly improved so they cater for your every need, cuisine prepared by chefs who care about their craft, not their egos, and – most importantly – a passion to show you the very best of the world.

Most cruise lines try to keep you on their ship so you’ll spend more money with them. We encourage you to head off on a journey of discovery in every destination. There are more places to see in the world than anyone could fit in one lifetime – but at Fred. Olsen we think there’s no harm in trying.

Smaller but spacious Sailing on a smaller ship doesn’t mean less room; far from it. Each cabin has ample space, with an en-suite bathroom and all the facilities you’ll need to enjoy your holiday in comfort. In fact, our rooms are comparable in size to those on some of the mammoth cruise ships – while our vessels are of a more accessible size, you can have just as much private space.

With fewer people on board, it’s easy to find a quiet spot to relax in peace with a drink or a good book.

There’s room to stretch out by the pool and you can get ashore more quickly – without the need to fight for space with hordes of people. And when you’re ashore, you’re seeing the best of each port of call with hundreds of others – not thousands – giving you a much more authentic experience.

6

Award-winning cruises We’ll always do our best to give you the holiday of a lifetime – but our guests and travel industry experts are the best judges of how we’re doing. That’s why it’s so pleasing that the dedication and hard work of our staff has been recognised in so many awards over the course of the last year.

Most importantly, in over 16,000 reviews from past guests, 95% rated us Excellent or Good, with independent review site Feefo awarding us a Gold Trusted Merchant Accreditation – in recognition of our excellence in customer service – for the third year in a row. Perhaps that’s why most people who try us once choose to cruise with us again. There’s never been a better time to get on board with Fred. Olsen.

SPAIN, MOROCCO & THE MED As the summer warmth fades at home, head off to sunnier climes in Spain and Morocco to indulge in endless delights.

Discover a concoction of history, culture and beauty in each port. Your exploration is made all the more rewarding with fewer tourists around at quieter times of year.

These cruises present a range of authentic experiences in alluring destinations: from sampling delicious Spanish tapas to absorbing the scents of Moroccan souks, and from enjoying a spine-tingling flamenco performance to marvelling at impressive architecture (the Alhambra Palace and Guggenheim are perhaps the finest examples).

Whichever cruise tempts you, it’s sure to be a real feast for the senses. With calls into Gibraltar, France and Portugal thrown in too, you can explore the highlights and contrasts of the region at your leisure, whether it’s the winding cobbled lanes of Oporto or the fruity flavours of the Cognac region.

That’s not all. We’ve also included an enticing 30-night adventure mixing the marvellous Mediterranean with the breathtaking Black Sea. Sailing from one distinct destination to the next, you’ll be able to spend time in the beautiful cities of Odessa, Athens, and Sochi – host of the 2014 Winter Olympics – plus you can uncover the incredible ancient site of Ephesus, home to the ruins of the Temple of Artemis, a Wonder of the Ancient World.

Summer holidays with award-winning Fred. Olsen

SCANDINAVIA & NORTHERN EUROPE The beauty of this remarkable part of the world lies in the sheer diversity that’s on offer. Every captivating location is packed with wonders for you to discover. The facing page features a spellbinding selection to choose from. The hardest part will be picking a favourite.

Join Black Watch in November 2016 and tick Bruges, Hamburg and Amsterdam – along with their many delights – off your ‘must-see’ list. We’ve specially scheduled two overnight stays on this itinerary so you can savour all the famous attractions, as well as unearth hidden gems, by day and by night, at your own pace.

Or, perhaps opt to discover Fred. Olsen’s homeland at its most enchanting on a Norway Winter cruise in early 2017, when the mountains are draped with snow and the air is at its most crisp. A husky-sledding ride or snowmobiling expedition is the perfect way to absorb the magic first hand, though the Rauma Railway and the views from the top of Bergen’s Mount Fløyen or Tromsø’s Mount Storsteinen are equally as rewarding. And of course, the ultimate pièce de résistance is the Northern Lights: these cruises have been specially crafted to give you the best chance to witness this eerie natural phenomenon.
