Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines

Thanks to the adventurous spirit of three brothers on the shores of Oslofjord in Norway, Fred. Olsen have been sailing the world for 175 years. And every little thing they've learned informs the way they cruise today.

There are many reasons why cruising with Fred. Olsen is so special.

It's their award-winning, hand-crafted itineraries designed to take you to the most amazing places on earth, at the very best possible times. The Azores when the Perseid meteor shower streaks the night sky, Canada, to witness the famous 'Fall' leaves, and to seek out the mesmerising Northern Lights, when they are at their strongest.

It's their smaller ships, where the atmosphere on board is always warm and friendly, as well as being able to get to the more interesting places - like the furthest reaches of Norway's lesser-known fjords, and through Europe's narrow waterways and canals, to the very heart of some of the world's most fascinating cities.

And it's their unrivalled on board experience, where a great amount of care and consideration goes into ensuring that every single day is as enjoyable as possible. Because of this, guests can enjoy Signature Experiences on board, which include hosted stargazing on deck, regional cuisine - with cookery demonstrations and tastings, wildlife experts that host engaging talks, as well as off-the-beaten-track scenic cruising.
