Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines

Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines is a cruise company with 175 years of experience and smaller ships that can access interesting places. Here is some information about them:

  • History and Experience: Founded in 1848, Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines has a long tradition of sailing and discovering the world. The company is Norwegian-owned and based in Ipswich, Suffolk, United Kingdom.
  • Smaller Ships: Fred. Olsen operates smaller ships, offering a more intimate and authentic experience. These ships can reach less frequented places, such as the lesser-known fjords of Norway, narrow canals, and the heart of some of the world's most beautiful cities.
  • Carefully Crafted Itineraries: Fred. Olsen creates tailor-made itineraries every year, taking passengers not only to the most incredible places on Earth but also at the best times to visit them. For example, you can see the Azores during the Perseids meteor shower, Mumbai during the Holi Festival, and the coast of Canada during the largest humpback whale migration on Earth. For this, they have been awarded "Best Itineraries" by Cruise Critic for five consecutive years.
  • Extraordinary Experience: Fred. Olsen is committed to making every day special for its guests. They offer local cooking demonstrations, informative lectures on the region visited, and even conversations about the starry sky on board. The personal care and attention to detail of their crew are highly appreciated by passengers.
