Fred Olsen Cruises - Offering a traditional cruise experience
Fred Olsen Cruise Lines is a Norwegian cruise line, operating 5 cruise ships stopping at over 300 ports in 116 countries. The company is family-owned, now in its fifth generation, and offers a traditional cruise experience, with a typical British 'club-house' ambience and a relaxed and sedate atmosphere. The UK headquarters of Fred Olsen Cruises is based in Ipswich, and the cruise line sails from a range of British ports, including Dover and Southampton.
Fred Olsen Cruises - Family owned cruise-line; older demographic group
The cruise line was founded back in 1848, when Frederik Olsen purchased two ships, and he and his two brothers built up a successful shipping dynasty. Still family-owned, Fred Olsen prides itself on the cosy and traditional atmosphere it creates, with the cruise line continuing to attract a more mature, British customer who enjoys the genteel old-style cruise experience, and welcoming families and multi-generational groups during the school holidays. Entertainment on a Fred Olsen cruise is fairly classic and not flashy, generally in the form of cabarets, singing and dancing, with formal dinners the highlight of the evening. Fred Olsen operates a fleet of five cruise ships - Black Watch, Black Prince, Braemer, Boudicca and Balmoral - with the company always naming their ships with a 'B', and giving the same name to successive vessels.
Fred Olsen Cruises - Varied destinations such as the Amazon and India
Offering a range of different cruises and destinations, Fred Olsens' itineraries range from popular cruise hotspots such as the Mediterranean, the Caribbean and the Canaries, to more unusual excursions, such as to the Amazon jungle, Trivandrum and Ghana. The company also offers city breaks and short mini-cruises as well as more lengthy 'Round The World' cruises.
