Fred Olsen’s ships are much smaller than the new, huge floating resorts that have been launched recently, and the company says it treats passengers as individual guests, rather than just a number.
Service is good and the staff and crew are friendly and personable.SuitabilityAn excellent choice for couples and singles looking for a good-value cruise on an older ship with a bit of character. Fred Olsen passengers love the intimate, friendly atmosphere on board and are more than happy to sit down with a good book and listen to the informative lectures provided.
A quick look at the ‘what’s on’ guide - providing quizzes, stretch-and-relax and trim-and-tone classes and ladies’ darts competitions - gives an idea of the typical passenger.
In recent years, Fred Olsen has done a lot to embrace vegetarians. A typical menu now contains options like Quorn stroganoff and even vegetarian cheese.Hints & TipsSome cruise itineraries offer Captain’s Bonuses, a choice of free transport by rail or coach to departure port or free car-parking.
Repeat passengers can join the line’s Oceans Cruise Club, which allocates a cruise point for every night spent on board, which can be converted to benefits such as money off on-board spend and tours, dedicated check-in desk and priority boarding.
As the ship sails from the UK, it’s an excellent choice for people who can’t, or don’t like to, fly.
