brinGinG the WorLd cLoser to Youeverything about fred. olsen is more personal. We’re a family-run company with a long shipping heritage. rather than worrying about having the biggest ships, packed with gimmicks like climbing walls and zip-wires, we prefer more traditionally built, smaller-scaled vessels that allow for a more personal service, where you get closer to your fellow guests and our friendly effi cient crew. that’s why last year more than half our guests had holidayed with us before.
smaLL is beautifuLour ships are large enough to be spacious, comfortable and uncrowded, but still small enough to be the kind of place where you can feel relaxed and able to put your feet up. the size advantage means we can take you to places that some of the mammoth cruise ships can’t, close to the heart of some of the world’s most beautiful cities and breathtaking landscapes.
aWard-WinninG hoLidaYsWe’ll do our best to give you the holiday of a lifetime – but don’t just take our word for it. We were awarded Best Affordable Cruise Line 2013 by the readers of Cruise International magazine and runner up in the Best Cruise Line category. We were also delighted to have been voted Best Value for Money 2013 in the cruise critic uk editors’ picks awards for the second consecutive year. plus, in 5,600 independent guest reviews, 95% rated us excellent or Good and, scoring 86%, we were the second highest rated cruise line in the 2013 Which? holiday survey.

norwegian FjordScruising the fjords is an experience like no other, and our smaller ships can make your holiday even more rewarding, taking you to the heart of some of norway’s most spectacular scenery.
the sailing to your destination is as much a part of the experience as the ports themselves; cruising past impressive rock formations such as preikestolen and kjerag, along waterways so narrow that some of the larger ships simply can’t navigate and past cascading waterfalls, so close you can almost feel the spray.
there’s much to see in the charming coastal villages and cities too: glistening lakes; babbling brooks; and pretty green meadows, along with world-famous attractions such as the scenic flåm railway.
