As a family-run cruise line, Fred. Olsen really takes your experience personally. While the rest of the cruise industry has gone for bigger ships, Fred. Olsen has always believed that smaller is better. They have fewer guests on board so the service is personal and the atmosphere is warm and civilised.
And when it comes to groups, they really excel, having won the Best Cruise Line category at the Group Leisure & Travel Awards no less than 12 times - more than any other cruise line and the latest win coming at this year’s ceremony.
The dedicated groups team is on hand to help you plan your cruise. Plus, your party can enjoy a choice of the following added value benefits (terms and conditions apply):
- Discounted group fares.
- Free cruise places for group travel organisers if you hit a group passenger target (these usually vary between 15 and 30 guests).
- Funding towards coach transfers to/from the port or airport (subject to availability).
- Free on board spend, from £25 to £180 per person.
