For full Terms and Conditions please click here  

Your cruise at a glance

Hand-crafted highlights.

This island-hopping adventure is the perfect cocktail of winter sun, fascinating culture and quintessential Caribbean experiences. The history of St John’s is brought to life at English Harbour, home to UNESCO-listed Nelson’s Dockyard with its strong connections to the Royal Navy. You can learn about the region’s exotic produce, from sugarcane in St Kitts and rum in Barbados to cocoa beans and nutmeg in Grenada, and there will be many opportunities to encounter mesmerising marine life. The azure waters surrounding Dominica are a haven for whales and dolphins, while Barbados is ideal for searching for sea turtles. Borealis will sail past St Lucia’s towering volcanic pitons at sunset.

Fred. Olsen Cruises

Fred olsen cruises.

Who says bigger is better? As other lines scale up the size of their ships, Fred. Olsen go the other way. And believe us, smaller ships mean big benefits. Intimate yet spacious. A guest-to-crew ratio that’s nearly 1:1. The VIP treatment all the time. And best of all, they can dock at smaller ports, so you can get closer to the parts of the planet that Fred. Olsen love to show off. No cramming in or cutting corners here, with Fred. Olsen, everything is the size it should be.

With the freedom to see, explore and experience things your way, Fred. Olsen does things differently. Want to see just how different? We thought you might – that’s why we’ve brought you an incredible range of Fred. Olsen cruise deals at prices that you won’t find anywhere else, on land or at sea.

Ready to see what’s waiting for you onboard and ashore? Let’s take a look…

Where Do You Want to Go?

From the second you book your cruise to the moment you arrive home, Fred. Olsen squeezes every last drop of cruise goodness out of your journey. The question is: which destinations are you going to stock up that schedule with? Somewhere sunny? Somewhere you can see nature at its most rugged? How about somewhere hidden away you can brag to your friends about afterwards? There’s nothing better than that “I’ve been there” feeling after all.   

A Fred. Olsen cruise brings you as close as possible to some of the most beautiful locations across the globe, for some truly once-in-a-lifetime exploration experiences. Fred. Olsen opens up a world of culture, history and stunning scenery for you to get immersed in, and since they sail from ports all over the UK, getting to your dream destination has never been easier. Perfect for the no-fly crowd who don’t fancy dealing with airports.   

EVEN MORE DESTINATIONS

Food, glorious food.

A Fred. Olsen cruise means indulging in your culinary passions, from extra special eats or to easy-going dining experiences. Whatever you’re in the mood for, you’ll find it across a diverse choice of authentic and delicious menus. And with fresh buffets and themed dining options on a Fred. Olsen cruise, everyone’s in for a treat. Asian faves, traditional Goan curries, and an elegant afternoon tea service keep things diverse - and that’s just a small taste of what to expect.

What’s food with a glass or two to go with it? Take your onboard dining experience one step further with wine tasting inspired by the region you’re visiting. Of for something alcohol free, why not learn about luxury teas or sit down to guest speaker sessions to expand your palate with. It’s the perfect chance to discover more about the tastes of the region, as you enjoy quality, fresh food created by quality chefs whether it’s a formal feast, a quick fix or a buffet to gorge on...

One of two main restaurants onboard their ship of the same name, Borealis keeps things classic, with a range of mouth-watering dishes made using ingredients that are fresher than fresh. Think tuna ceviche, frutti di mare linguine and fish, chicken and steak grilled to perfection your way.

Borealis’ other main dining room, this elegant eatery switches its dishes each day, but big flavours and bold dishes are always on the menu. And don’t forget about its Treats of the Region option, a special dish inspired by the destination you’re heading to!

Boasting two tiers of space – and even more flavour – Bloomsbury is Bolette’s first main dining room. Expect a five-course menu of delicious dishes made by the ship’s incredible team of chefs – with their homemade bread proving a real highlight (it’s made overnight in Fred’s overnight bakery, and, trust us, it’s absolutely delicious).

Calling all steak fans, a-fish-ionados and lovers of local cuisine: The Terrace is the place to be on Bolette. With a menu that changes each day, its dishes are diverse but you can always bet on plates of big, bold flavours, while dishes inspired by your destination give you a taste of what’s to come in port!

Ballindalloch

Featuring a menu stocked with your favourite dishes – and some extra special regional plates for good measure – Ballindalloch is the first of Balmoral’s two main dining rooms. Expect steak cooked the way you like it, fresh seafood and soup made with the freshest ingredients. Want some bread baked on board that day to dip with that? Be Balmoral’s guest…

Avon & Spey

Delicious food served up with incredible views and more natural light than you can imagine? That’s just what Avon & Spey do. Thanks to their floor-to-ceiling windows and a menu of ever-changing grub, you’re in for a real treat, whether it’s first thing in the morning, a light lunch before you step onshore or something to set you up for the evening ahead.

Colours & Tastes

Bao buns, Peking duck, miso glazed salmon – just a sneak preview of Colours & Tastes’ delicious Asian fusion menu. A Far East foodie’s dream, this is food that’s cooked with care, presented like art and made to blow your tastebuds away. Not one to be missed while you’re onboard.

Fred’s second specialty restaurant, Vasco heightens the senses with a menu of traditional Goan dishes made by a team of chefs who make the region proud. Tantalising and irresistible, the exciting menu is packed with unbelievable aromas, flavours and zest, including a fish curry you’ll want to leave room for. Be sure to book your table!

Luxury Living

With smaller ships than other cruise lines, you can bet that everything has been designed with your comfort and convenience in mind. The suites aboard a Fred. Olsen cruise have been hand-crafted to ensure every space makes you feel at home, from the moment you arrive. With a number of suites, picture window cabins, porthole cabins and inside cabins, you can bet there’s a room to suit your taste. Each room offers the amenities you need for a comfortable and relaxing experience, with some suites offering additional perks to make your stay that extra bit special.

Take advantage of spacious and tastefully decorated rooms, some boasting full balconies and separate dining areas while others are the perfect size for a solo traveller. So, no matter what type of journey you’re about to embark on, do it in style and really maximise your time on board a Fred. Olsen cruise.

Onboard Fred. Olsen’s 3 intimate and welcoming ships there’s an incredible selection of beautifully decorated and spacious suites for you to call home. With many offering a private balcony and all the amenities and comforts you could dream of, this is how you do cruise travel in style. Booking a suite means you’ll also get access to the Suite Dreams package too, a VIP treat that includes priority check-in and a bottle of sparkling wine on arrival, and daily canapés delivered to your extra special haven.

Choose from the Olsen, Premier, Balcony or Balcony Junior Suites on board Bolette and Borealis, or the Owner, Premiere, Marquee, Superior and Balcony Juniors Suites on board Balmoral. And for solo sailors, there’s plenty in the way of single suites too.

Terrace Cabins

Looking for sunshine and scenery? On Fred. Olsen’s Bolette and Borealis ships you’ll find beautiful Terrace Cabins that offer plenty of space and natural light to bask in. The Terrace Cabin also provides direct access to the Promenade Deck from the sliding doors in your cabin, where designated sun loungers offer another place to unwind and soak up the sun from.

Picture Window Cabins

Featuring huge windows for you to gaze from, these cabins onboard all of Fred. Olsen’s fleet feature stylish interiors and your chance to enjoy scenic views, all in ultimate comfort. Packed with every amenity needed for a relaxing stay, choose from Superior Ocean View, Ocean View or Fully Restricted picture window cabins. Whichever you choose, you can guarantee it’s a home away from home - just with added luxury.

Porthole Cabins

On each of Fred. Olsen’s ships, traditional porthole cabins give you a glimpse of sun up, sun down and everything in between. Featuring either one or two portholes, there’s plenty of natural light and an ocean view to say “hi!” to. Furnished with all the amenities you need to unwind with, porthole cabins make for a truly comfortable stay - whether you’re getting your head down or getting ready for the night ahead.

Inside Cabins

The Inside Cabins aboard a Fred. Olsen ship have all the amenities and comforts you need for a relaxing stay as you journey across the world. Enjoy close and easy access to the ship’s stairs and lifts, giving you a  quick route to the where the action is. Some Inside Cabins offer 4 and 3 berths, so they’re great for travelling with bigger crews too.

Signature Experiences with Fred Olsen

A Fred. Olsen cruise isn’t all about the destination – the journey matters just as much. Between setting off and arriving in port, there’s plenty in between to make your experience even more enriching. 

See how Fred. Olsen do onboard with these five Signature Experiences…

Dazzling Entertainment, Every Night

Looking to turn up those enjoyment levels? Onboard a Fred. Olsen cruise, there’s entertainment to suit everyone. From enjoying a drink against a backdrop of live music or a live orchestra, to practising your moves with a high-energy dance class, the line’s slate of entertainment caters to all styles of downtime. And each even has its own Theatre Company and House Band on hand to roll out professional performances every night whether it’s a theatre production, dance show or classical musician.

Why not take the opportunity to learn a new skill too? Pick up a paintbrush or learn a little more about the food and drink you’ve been sampling on your travels? However you like to be entertained, enjoy everything from comedians, illusionists, dance classes, musicals and more when the evening comes around.

Relax and Reinvigorate Yourself

On each ship in the Fred. Olsen fleet, a beautiful and calming spa awaits, every one furnished with floor to ceiling windows for that serene world-go-by feeling. So take some time out and treat body and soul with a massage, a yoga class or a Thermal Suite experience. 

Prefer putting yourself through your paces instead? The Fitness Centre is ready and waiting for you to stretch, run, lift and get your sweat on in, plus there’s a spacious pool area for you to chill in too. However you choose to look after yourself, do it at your leisure on a Fred. Olsen cruise.

What’s more, they run a Little Skippers Club for those aged 5-11, so your little ones can enjoy arts and crafts, discos, treasure hunts and even separate pool times for children to enjoy splashing around safely.

As the largest city in Europe and Russia's capital, Moscow boasts gigantic buildings, expensively priced coffee and some of the wealthiest people in the world amongst its citizens.

Theatre plays a big part of the city's culture, with the world famous Bolshoi Theatre being just one of the many places which showcase the latest performances to the masses. These concerts are often at the heart of many of the festivals that come to Moscow on a yearly basis and there are also a variety of different local theatres which are continually offering premieres of the newest shows. Along with this, much of the art often spills out into the streets, creating a feast for the eyes of any lucky passers-by.

Moscow offers something for everyone, with romantic walks lit up by beautiful lights for the couples, art galleries and beautiful architecture for culture enthusiasts and Gorky Park and the Moscow Zoo for those travelling with children. A Moscow city break will not disappoint and you are sure to be welcomed with open arms.

One of the world's most recognisable public spaces, Red Square is as impressive in reality as it is onscreen. The heart of Moscow and the first destination for most visitors to the city, it is surrounded by St. Basil's Cathedral, the State History Museum, Lenin's Mausoleum and one of the Kremlin's long brick walls.

The Kremlin

This gigantic site can not be missed. The Diamond collection in the Armoury is worth a visit on its own and there are also several stunning churches that warrant a look.

The Lenin Mausoleum

Walk past the embalmed body of Vladimir Lenin (who actually did not want any monuments to be built for him) and join the debate if it is still him.

The Bolshoi Theater

The world-famous Bolshoi Theatre, meaning Big Theatre, is Russia's largest and most famous arts venue.

The Old Arbat

The historical Old Arbat is one of few pedestrian streets in Moscow. In recent years, it has long been considered one of the main cultural centres of Russia. The street boasts some of the country's most famous artists, composers, musicians and writers as its former residents.

Moscow has some of the best restaurants in Russia with prestigious chefs trained in the top kitchens of Europe. The capital offers a variety of different menus that provide a choice of regional or international cuisine. But most of the restaurants in the capital boast an array of gastronomic Azerbaijani specialities, which are highly recommended if you want to try delicious food in Moscow. Many restaurants are located in the very heart of the city, in old mansions, with which interesting stories and legend are closely connected.

Moscow has a terrific choice of shops, boutiques, markets and extraordinary malls to choose from. All the big name brands are here, plus some seriously pricey local producers too. Tverskaya Ulitsa, north of Red Square, is Moscow's most fashionable shopping street with numerous expensive boutiques, whilst most tourist-oriented gift stores tend to be concentrated on touristy Ulitsa Arbat.

Moscow captivates visitors with its thriving nightlife. It is full of events, premieres, concerts and offers everything from bars, clubs, racing, and bowling to fantastic theatres, circuses, cinemas and concert halls. All of them have interesting histories, so you will experience the unique atmosphere and ambience of these places. The city has a terrific choice of places to have fun, so you are sure to find something to suit your taste.
