Fred Olsen Cruises

A cruise is far more than a holiday—it is a journey that celebrates the ocean and offers a unique perspective on the world. It evokes the thrill of stepping on board, the anticipation of exploring new destinations, and the reassurance of being cared for every step of the way. As the Norwegian saying goes, “I det beste selskap”—in the best of company.

These cruises are designed to emphasize the journey as much as the destinations. From the warmth of the onboard teams to the carefully curated experiences, every detail is crafted to ensure guests feel valued and thoroughly looked after.

Signature Experiences: Enhancing Every Voyage

Beyond the exceptional food, drink, entertainment, and activities onboard, the Signature Experiences elevate each journey to something truly unforgettable.

Where other cruise lines focus on speed, this cruise line takes the scenic route. Its itineraries are thoughtfully planned to showcase breathtaking islands, ports, waterways, fjords, and coastal landscapes.
Guests can relax on deck or in the Observatory Lounge while onboard teams provide commentary, share captivating stories, and highlight notable wildlife and landmarks. Some voyages include marine experts from ORCA and Ocean Wildlife Encounters, offering valuable insights into spotting whales, dolphins, and other marine life.

Itinerary Insights

Guest speakers are carefully selected to deepen travellers' understanding of the history, culture, and people of each destination.
Talks are delivered in a dedicated theatre, with opportunities for Q&A sessions. For those with specific interests, smaller lunches and social gatherings create space for more intimate discussions.

Treats of the Region

The Sky at Sea

The magic of the sky at sea is an integral part of the journey, whether it's witnessing a sunrise or stargazing under a blanket of stars.
On clear nights, stargazing sessions invite guests to relax on deck with a warm drink, while experts bring the constellations to life with stories and insights. Select itineraries include opportunities to view the spectacular Northern Lights or bask in the glow of the midnight sun.
