Our cover illustration was inspired by Edvard Munch’s iconic painting ‘The Sun’. This painting has a special connection with Hvitsten in Norway, where the Olsen family started their business almost 200 years ago. The landmarks shown are a selection of the places we will be visiting on cruises featured in this brochure.
WELCOME ABOARD Just when travelling abroad seemed a distant dream, let me take this opportunity to introduce you to the Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines 2022-24 Worldwide Cruise brochure. With many different destinations to visit, we invite you to get back on board, set your compass towards the far horizon and start exploring the world with us again. Joining Balmoral and Braemar in our fleet, are our new ships, Bolette and Borealis, They are refreshed, improved and ready to sail. We have new restaurants - amongst many others, ‘Colours and Tastes’ is adding Asian Fusion cuisine and ‘Vasco’ is celebrating the unique flavours from Goa - cooked by our talented regional chefs. This is complemented by our unique warm and friendly service. Add to that, we have exceptional and exciting new itineraries. Our new Caribbean / Central Americas season starts in January 2022 with a 34-night cruise on board Borealis, visiting the islands of Antigua, St Kitts and Tortola, then on to Colombia, Panama and Costa Rica before heading to Belize, Mexico and Bermuda. Equally exciting, and for the first time for Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines, is our cruise to the southern most tip of the world. We visit Argentina before sailing to Tierra Del Fuego, passing through Drake’s Passage to reach the unspoiled continent of Antarctica. Cruising allows our guests to travel to many different countries and destinations. Whether it’s the Caribbean or Antarctica, the Norwegian Fjords, the Adriatic, the Canaries or the Mediterranean, each has their own charm and history. We’ve tried to balance our various excursions at our ports of call with ‘at sea / near coast’ cruising to allow you to see what is quite breathtaking scenery from the comfort of our ships. With 35-years of cruising experience, I have overseen the evolution of our cruise line to what it is today - welcoming but innovative, intended to give you, our guests, an exciting and comfortable cruise. Whether you are one of our loyal regular customers or a new guest, my experienced officers and crew are looking forward to taking good care of you, ensuring your holiday on board is a special time for you and is rewarded with new friends and many happy memories. We hope to travel with you very soon.
Fred. Olsen Jnr. Chairman

WELCOME TO THE OLSEN WAY In recent years, we have seen a new era emerging in cruising. There is a trend for everything to get bigger and busier, and for a cruise to be seen as an alternative to a large luxury resort, with a limitless flurry of activity. But this is not for us. We believe there is another way to cruise. A way that is based on five generations of seafaring. Where cabins are called cabins, and ships look like ships. Where the journey is as important as the destination. In our world, smaller is better and we believe in keeping the experience on board uncrowded, warm and civilised – treating passengers as guests, like the family-run business we are. It would be easy to follow the trends and go with the crowds. But we never will. Because this is our way, The Olsen Way.
1. WE ARE PROUD TO SAIL OUR OWN COURSE We are free to do things a different way because we are family-run. Of course some people enjoy the bigger, busier cruises, but it is not for everyone, and it is not for us. We prefer to do things ‘The Olsen Way’.
4
2. SMALLER IS BETTER
3. HAND-CRAFTED, NOT MASS PRODUCED.
We have fewer guests, so the atmosphere on board our ships is always warm and civilised. Our smaller ships allow us to visit the more interesting places that the world has to offer.
We pride ourselves on putting our all into the Fred. Olsen cruise experience. Our itineraries are created from scratch every year, our service is genuinely personal and each and every area of our ships is designed by hand.
4. IT’S ALL ABOUT THE PEOPLE. ALL OF IT. EVERYTHING.
5. WE ARE TRAVELLERS MORE THAN TOURISTS
There are certain things that can only happen when people put genuine care and positivity into what they do. We believe that you can have all the equipment in the world, but in the end, it all comes down to the people.
Our way is about creating experiences that attract like-minded travel enthusiasts, people as excited to engage with the wonders of the world as we are.
5
6. WE BELIEVE IN THE JOY OF THE JOURNEY
7. MARITIME IS IN OUR DNA
We believe the purpose of a cruise is to experience the wonders of the world, by always looking out, not facing in.
The Olsen family has been sailing for nearly 200 years and we will never lose sight of our love for the sea. That’s why we will always choose to sail ships that look like ships rather than hotels or holiday resorts.
8. WE TRAVEL RESPECTFULLY
9. WE DESIGN EVERYTHING WITH ELEGANCE, SIMPLICITY AND ATTENTION TO DETAIL
We have great respect for the natural world and the diverse cultures of the places we visit. We run smaller ships, so we can travel lightly rather than overwhelm the beauty or local people of our destinations.
6
Linen, not cotton. Leather, not plastic; our focus is always on quality, and our ships are genuinely loved by us, with every detail closely considered and constantly reviewed..
1 0 . “ I D E T B E S T E S E L S K A P ”, IN THE BEST OF COMPANY There’s a phrase in our native Norwegian, ‘I det beste selskap’ which means, ‘in the best of company’. Our guests are like-minded, our crew genuinely friendly and we are very proud to say that, as a result of all this, we have more returning guests than any other cruise line.

IT’S ALL ABOUT THE PEOPLE. ALL OF IT. EVERYTHING.
We consider our family to be larger than most. Our ships and our team are all part of the Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines family. We believe that there are certain things that can only happen when people put genuine care and positivity into what they do. Our crew are sincere, not scripted and are as enthusiastic about travel as our guests. As Fred. Olsen Jnr. puts it, “You can have all the equipment in the world, but in the end, it all comes down to the people.”

WHAT’S NEW In 2020, we added two new ships to our fleet, Bolette and Borealis. Our designers and crew have been busy adding the elegant Fred. Olsen touches and attention to detail, ensuring you will feel right at home from the moment you arrive. On board you will find cabins and suites which have been elegantly enhanced by our talented team of crafts-people as well as new restaurants to try and some wonderful spaces to relax in during your cruise. Here are a few of the new areas you can look forward to.
Refurbishing our cabins with attention to detail
CABINS AND SUITES Our ships sail with a team of crafts-people to make sure everything always looks its best. As well as updating the bathrooms in our cabins and suites on board Bolette and Borealis, this team have also hand-stitched all our soft furninshings including the curtains, cushions and other design touches on board to ensure you have the most enjoyable and comfortable stay with us.
ATLANTIS SPA We have a relaxing spa on each of our ships, the perfect place to enjoy some down time on a sea day. We offer a variety of treatments, using only the best ‘Thalgo’ products. Bolette and Borealis also add to the fleet ‘The Retreat’, an area with relaxing heated loungers, sauna, steam room and hydrotherapy pool. Plus a private outside deck area complete with sun loungers. Our therapists will be there to advise you on the perfect treatment based on your needs, whether you are looking for relaxation or something more invigorating. This includes options available for those living with, and recovering from, cancer for which our therapists have been specially trained.
10
COLOURS AND TASTES Our new Colours and Tastes restaurant offers modern Asian Fusion dishes which are a real talking point. The décor is colourful, the mood cheerful and the food offers a stimulating set of new taste experiences. Our specialist chefs will create a selection of dishes including spiced grilled meats, seafood, gyozas, dim sum and sushi, as well as classic Chinese and Thai favourites.
VASCO Vasco (named after the famous explorer Vasco Da Gama who was the first European to reach India by sea), offers a fresh and modern take on Indian food. The menu has been inspired by our chefs from Goa and focuses on the unique culinary traditions of that area - a place where the tastes of Europe first met the tropical warmth and spices of western India. Here you can enjoy delicious seafood, spiced curries and grilled meats, all cooked fresh and to authentic recipes by our Goan chefs. The bright colours and feel of the restaurant have also been inspired by the warmth and richness of Goan tradition.

BOLETTE Bolette, proudly bears the name of Fred. Olsen Jnr.’s great-great-grandmother. With this connection to the Olsen family, she leads the fleet as our new flagship. With just 690 cabins, she fits perfectly with our smaller ships. She can travel at high speeds, enabling us to reach destinations more quickly, meaning our journey planners can craft itineraries that include more ports of call on shorter cruises, and more time sailing the most scenic routes. Bolette provides you with plenty of space to relax. Her Crow’s Nest is where you can enjoy scenic cruising through large panoramic windows. The new Auditorium will host cooking demonstrations as well as specialist talks and evening cinema nights. Up on deck eight, you will find our Lido Bar and swimming pool. The retractable roof means you can enjoy a swim year-round, wherever you are cruising.

BOREALIS The high sailing speed of Borealis – Bolette’s sister ship – mean she’s perfectly suited for longer voyages across the globe. She can include more ports of call, scenic cruising opportunities and highlights along the way. With her spacious public areas and choice of restaurants, Borealis is ideally suited for comfortable long-distance cruising. This is why we have chosen her to sail our ‘Around the World in 80 Days’ and World Cruise in 2024. With just 702 cabins, she fits perfectly into our small ship fleet and like all our vessels, Borealis has her own elegant design touches. Even the pattern and weave of the British-made carpets were hand-chosen by Fred. Olsen Jnr., with attention to the finer details every step of the way.

BALMORAL Balmoral is named after the Scottish residence of the British Royal Family. She is small compared to other cruise ships and able to navigate some of Europe’s most picturesque waterways, including the Kiel Canal and River Seine. On board Balmoral you will have plenty of spaces to relax, including the alfresco Poolside restaurant, the Marquee Bar with its comfortable rattan sofas and the beautiful open promenade. She boasts two separate swimming pools and an elegant promenade deck, making her perfect for scenic cruising. The Spey and Avon restaurants at the top of the ship offer spectacular views out to sea while you dine and the Observatory Lounge comes to life at sunset. With her beautiful classic ship style, you will be proud to dock each day and step off your ship, Balmoral.

BRAEMAR Braemar stands out as the smallest ship in our fleet, with just 485 cabins. Her size advantage means she can cruise even closer to many of the destinations we visit, including the showstopping Corinth Canal. She is bathed in natural light, with huge picture windows and large open decks, which provide spectacular views and make her perfect for scenic cruising. Her flatter hull shape means we are able to take you closer and dock right in the heart of destinations like Malaga, Seville and Valletta. She can cruise the narrower rivers and waterways where larger ships simply cannot, which gives you a truly unique experience. Her signature cascading decks at the aft provide ample open space, and plenty of quiet spots to sit and watch the world go by.

WE BELIEVE IN THE JOY OF THE JOURNEY We believe the purpose of a cruise is to experience the wonders of the world, by always looking out, not facing in. While some other cruise lines like to take the fastest route from A to B, we prefer to travel the most fascinating way. Our scenic cruising routes are designed to take in all the islands, ports, waterways, lochs and lakes, fjords and interesting seascapes that are out there. We believe seeing the world from the water is the best way to fully appreciate it and the observation lounges on our ships are designed especially as places to sit, watch the world go by, and enjoy the wonderful views.
22
Our small team of journey planners ensure you can always experience the the joy of the journey itself as well as the destination. We bring your Scenic Way cruising experience to life both before and during your cruise, searching out hidden gems and discovering more about the highlights from each itinerary. Whether that is the nature, history, geology or myths and legends of the area, we will provide you with films, audio guides and expert speakers on board.

SMALLE R SHIP CRUI S ING IN THE CARIBBEAN Our Caribbean cruises typically take in the islands of Barbados, Antigua and Cuba, but you can expect to enjoy less-visited gems too, such as Guadeloupe and Dominica. Along with plenty of opportunities to relax on sun-kissed beaches, our team has planned these itineraries to coincide with events such as the Trinidad Carnival and New Year’s Eve in the Bahamas. What’s more, sailing aboard our smallest ship, Braemar, means you will be able to benefit from docking within a mile’s walk of Havana, making your exploration even easier.

SAILING THE FJORDS IN SUMMER
NO RW A Y , I C ELA N D & GREEN LA N D
Summer is the perfect time to enjoy Norway’s landscapes when they are at their greenest, and the longer days mean we can pack in more scenic cruising and enjoy more time ashore. The chance of finer weather makes nature pursuits like kayaking and taking in the scenic sights from the comfort of your ship so much more enjoyable. There’s also a greater chance of experiencing a remarkable contrasting light as your ship sails from beneath sunny, clear skies into the shadows and cooler air of the deeper, steeper fjords.

THE FJORDS OF NORTHERN NORWAY
NO RW A Y , I C ELA N D & GREEN LA N D
Our cruises to the fjords of northern Norway are wonderful experiences – both by day and by night. By day, we take in the beauty of the landscape: we have specially hand-crafted each route to take in the most spectacular scenery, including the likes of Trollfjord and Svartisen. And by night, that beauty continues: one of our cruises has been especially scheduled so we are visiting at the time when the Midnight Sun is at its most wonderful.

T H E O L S E N WAY H I G H L I G H T S Explore three cities by day and by night during a sailing that has been designed by our itinerary planners to maximise your time ashore at a time of year with fewer tourists • Balmoral’s smaller size allows her to dock closer than others to the centre of Rouen, which is also well situated for trips to see the famous landmarks of romantic Paris • You can easily reach the highlights of Antwerp – such as Medieval architecture and the world’s largest diamond district – from Balmoral’s berthing location in the heart of the city • A boat tour is a great way to explore Amsterdam’s iconic canals
T H E O L S E N WAY H I G H L I G H T S This springtime sailing has been designed to give you more time to explore ashore, with extended stays in all three destinations • There will be many sites to explore, from Hamburg’s canals, lakes and bridges to Amsterdam’s museums and famous canal network • Bolette will be able to dock in the heart of the city centre of Antwerp – thanks to her smaller size – and will be the only ship in port, giving you a more relaxed experience. There will be chances to unearth the works of Rembrandt, explore the diamond district and of course to sample Belgian chocolate and beer

EXPLORING CITIES AND ISLANDS OF THE MEDITERRANEAN
ME DIT ER RAN EAN , BL AC K SEA & T HE B AL KA NS
Familiar destinations in the Mediterranean are always warm and welcoming, and, whilst we don’t want to do anything to spoil its familiar charms, we do think it’s sometimes enjoyable to see it from a different perspective. So, thanks to our smaller ships, you can experience docking right up close to the heart of Seville, sailing up the great navigable river in Spain – the Guadalquivir – to get there. Or follow a cultural trail to discover the walled cities and history of the ancient Mediterranean cultures. And for those of you who really like to do and see things differently, we have a cruise that takes you to the Monaco Grand Prix.

DRESS CODE Most evenings on board have a smart casual dress code. Dresses and skirts or a pair of trousers, chinos or dark jeans, coupled with a polo shirt, shirt or blouse. Some guests prefer to wear a jacket and/ or tie, which is fine too. Depending on the length of your cruise, there may be one or more formal evenings while you are on board. The exact number, including details of any theme nights, will be advised on your cruise ticket. On these occasions guests wear either a traditonal dinner jacket, dark suit and tie; cocktail-style dresses or glamorous full length ball gowns. All ships have an additional buffet restaurant in which the dress code is casual. Although trainers, t-shirts, shorts and tracksuits are not allowed in the restaurants for evening dining, you may opt to wear these for comfort during the daytime. DINING OPTIONS Breakfast is usually served in the main restaurants and casual dining venues between 07:30 and 10.30. Lunch is served between 12:00 and 14:00 in the same venues, followed by afternoon tea in the buffet service restaurant between 15:45 and 16:45. In addition, dining at The Poolside is available throughout the day between 10:00 and 17:00. You will be allocated a table in the main restaurant for evening dining, (either first sitting, 18.15 or second seating 20.30), details will be placed in your cabin on your arrival. We also have the option of open seating in our main restaurants on Bolette and
Borealis which guests can pre-book so they are free to eat at any time. If you are booked on a Freedom Fare, we can offer your preferred slot at the time of booking, subject to availability. Guests booked on Saver Fares can select their dining time for a nominal supplement in advance of sailing. Specific table sizes may be requested, subject to availability. Each evening, informal open seating is offered in The View on Bolette and Borealis and The Palms Café on Balmoral and Braemar. We also have a selection of speciality dining options available at a £5pp cover charge. Braemar has one additional speciality dining restaurant, Balmoral has two and both Bolette and Borealis offer three additional speciality dining options. D I E TA R Y R E Q U I R E M E N T S We will do our best to accommodate most dietary requests on board each of our ships. So, vegetarian, low fat, low cholesterol, low salt, dairy-free, lactose-free, wheat-free and gluten-free food are all catered for. For anyone with food allergies or intolerances, you will have the opportunity at the beginning of your cruise to meet with the Maitre’d or Executive Chef to discuss any special requests. We kindly request that you make us aware of any special dietary requests at the time of booking, and we will do our best to source exact products, or provide certain foods, such as diabetic desserts.
E V E N I N G E N T E R TA I N M E N T When the lights go down each evening, you can enjoy a live show after dinner courtesy of our resident and guest entertainers. There’s everything from music to magic, cabaret to comedy – simply sit back and enjoy it all with your tipple of choice. WIFI WiFi is available throughout the ship, simply connect to the ship’s WiFi signal, register for the WiFi Portal and choose your desired internet package, this will then be charged directly to your on board account. For more information, visit our website, or contact Guest Services once on board. Please be aware that WiFi is subject to service operation and is operated over a satellite connection – this can at times result in speeds much slower than you would experience at home. TIPPING To make rewarding our crew on board as straightforward as possible, gratuities (applicable to adults and youths aged 12-17) will be added to your on board account. The amount (circa £5 per person, per night) is not compulsory and can easily be altered by visiting Guest Services on board. You are welcome to tip personally if you prefer. We are also pleased to offer the option of pre-paying your gratuities before your cruise. Please ask at the time of booking. Unlike some other companies, we can promise that every last penny is shared between the crew who look after you. 129
WE ARE TRAVELLERS MORE THAN TOURISTS Our way is about creating experiences that attract like-minded travel enthusiasts: people who love to experience nature, absorb other cultures and are as excited to engage with the wonders of the world as we are. We keep tours smaller, many welcoming 25 guests or less, and our chosen specialist tour guides are immersed in local knowledge. Each port of call has always been researched with partners and relevant experts on the ground.
Our full programme of tours can be booked before you travel, or on board. The smaller tours allow you to get up close and really experience each destination. For example, if you come with us to the St Petersburg Ballet, you won’t just see the ballet, you will meet the prima ballerina at the end - making it truly memorable.

T R AV E L I N S U R A N C E Having appropriate cruise insurance cover is a requirement for booking your holiday with us. Knowing you have comprehensive cover means you can relax and concentrate on planning the rest of your holiday. To help, we’ve provided three top tips for organising your cover. At time of going to print, it is a mandatory requirement for all guests to have comprehensive travel insurance that covers for Covid-19 related costs. Your policy must include cover predeparture in case you test positive for Covid-19 and are unable to board the vessel and have to travel home in a Covid safe car (Covid Cancellation & Curtailment Cover). In addition, the policy must include cover after departure to ensure that you are fully covered if you have to disembark the vessel at a port of call for medical treatment, isolation and travel back to your home (Covid Medical & Repatriation Cover). TIP ONE: Ensure you have the right cover To avoid any pitfalls it’s best to ensure your cover is specific to cruise holidays. Also, declaring all pre-existing medical conditions to your insurer will reduce your potential for financial consequences. TIP T WO : Avoid potential loopholes It is tempting to save money and opt for the cheapest holiday insurance. However, many policies have loopholes that will not provide cover for the exact circumstance in the claim. Be sure to investigate what’s covered in your policy. TIP THREE: Purchase your cover early We advise you to get insurance organised for your forthcoming cruise as soon as you have booked. This will give you peace of mind that you are covered and protect your non-refundable deposit. OUR RECOMMENDED SUPPLIER: H O L I D AY E X T R A S We have found that – from seven years of working together – Holiday Extras provide excellent cover for Fred. Olsen guests. If you would like a bespoke quote, call 0845 458 0748, quoting ‘FOBR1’ or visit: holidayextras.co.uk/fred Holiday Extras Ltd are authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority.
For further advice on travel insurance, please visit fredolsencruises.com.
VI SAS Visa and health requirements can change at any time. It is your own responsibility to ensure that you check with a professionally qualified source and comply with such requirements. UK passport holders will need visas for certain Fred. Olsen cruise holidays and will be advised at the time of booking. Your cruise booking information will also detail any requirements applicable to your holiday. CIBT, Fred. Olsen’s preferred visa provider, offer advice on specific visa requirements for your cruise holiday. For your convenience,

CIBT’s online portal provides detailed visa information for specific cruises and visa application packs. Visit, cibtvisas.co.uk/fredolsencruises or call 0207 593 6223 and quote ‘Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines’, ref ‘FREDOLS’. Similarly, travel vaccinations can be required when visiting some parts of the world. Your GP can offer advice, or you can contact the Medical Advisory Services for Travellers Abroad (MASTA). General travel advice is available from the UK Government at: gov.uk/foreign-travel-advice.
I T ’ S E A SY T O B O O K W I T H F R E D . O L S E N Once you have chosen your cruise, you only need to take a few steps before you can begin looking forward to your holiday. 1. W e need just a few details to confirm your booking Your full name as it appears on your passport; date of birth; home address; e-mail address and contact telephone number are all details we will need when you book. Please also have this information for any guests travelling with you. 2. Don’t forget your cruise insurance and to check if visas are needed Please ensure you have appropriate cruise insurance cover; it’s a mandatory requirement for sailing with us. Visas may be required for your chosen region. We’ve provided some helpful information for this, too, on the opposite page. 3. Non-refundable deposit All cruises are secured by a non-refundable deposit. This is typically set at 15% of the cruise cost (this varies when booking close to your departure date, and when booking cruises more than 27 nights in duration). 4. We will send confirmation straight away There’s a little more information we will require before you travel, such as your insurance, emergency contact details and passport details, and naturally final payment is needed ahead of your cruise. We will send details of this with your confirmation invoice as soon as you make your booking.
