Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines is a trusted name in British cruising, known for offering unique, hand-crafted itineraries aboard smaller, elegant ships. With a proud heritage dating back to 1848, the Fred. Olsen family has been sailing for over 175 years, delivering exceptional ocean adventures with a warm, personal touch.

Unlike larger cruise lines, Fred. Olsen focuses on the experience of the journey just as much as the destination. Their smaller ships — Bolette, Borealis, Balmoral, and Braemar — can access narrow waterways and lesser-visited ports that bigger vessels simply cannot reach. This means guests enjoy a more immersive travel experience, with scenic cruising through the Norwegian fjords, river routes, and remote coastlines.

Every aspect of a Fred. Olsen cruise is carefully curated to reflect British style, comfort, and service. Onboard, passengers can expect friendly staff who remember your name, freshly prepared cuisine, captivating entertainment, and enriching activities — all designed to make you feel at home while exploring the world.

Fred. Olsen also stands out for its scenic discovery cruises, no-fly options from UK ports, and its dedication to sustainability and responsible tourism. Whether you’re exploring the Arctic, soaking in Mediterranean sun, or discovering the hidden gems of the British Isles, Fred. Olsen Cruises makes your journey personal, peaceful, and unforgettable.
