explore, Fred. Olsen’s smiling crew will be waiting to greet you from the moment you arrive. They’ll ensure that your
experience is one to remember for years to come.

Cruising Fred. Olsen styleEverything 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 to know people by
name. There’s always plenty to do, but you can find a quiet
spot to enjoy when you want. It’s this special atmosphere
on board that makes our cruises especially attractive to solo
cruisers. Sociable, but never forced, you’ll feel right at home
from the first day.
Your home-from-homeOur ships are large enough to be spacious, comfortable and
uncrowded, but still small enough to be welcoming. 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.
New-found friendsExclusive gatherings for solo cruisers are held on board
on every cruise. These meetings are entirely optional, but
are the chance to get together and mix with like-minded
guests. There are meeting points if you’d like to go ashore
with fellow solo cruisers, dance hosts for those who would
like a partner on the dance floor and on board activities
– such as Bridge or getting creative in arts and crafts.
Solo cruisers can also choose to sit together at dinner,
so everyone can get to know each other and share their
cruising experiences.
Our guests never need be alone on board, as we have the
reputation of having one of the friendliest fleets afloat.
Cruising is so much more enjoyable when you travel with
new-found friends.
