Exploring The Eastern Mediterranean

For sheer diversity, sparkling scenery and rich culture enriched by history, look no further than one of our eastern Mediterranean cruises. Trade tourist traps and long waits at the airport for a relaxing Fred. Olsen cruise and take to the seas for a memorable Mediterranean adventure. Not sure where to go? Here are a few ideas…

Malta

The tiny island of Malta is fast becoming one of the most sought after destinations in Europe, and with an array of striking coastlines, crystallised waters and medieval architecture in abundance, it’s easy to see why. On one of our Mediterranean cruises you will have the chance to marvel at Malta’s capital Valletta, a UNESCO World Heritage Site that squeezes the very best of Maltese culture into a space of less than 1 sq.km.

Greece

Set sail toward to the shores of Greece, and stand in awe at the grand city of Piraeus, a city bustling with life and an integral part of Athens, where you can step back in history to the heights of the Acropolis. Below, in the heart of the city lies the ancient Plaka district’s honeycomb of streets, little shops and tavernas.

Egypt

If you’re looking to make the most out of one of our eastern Mediterranean cruises then don’t miss out on the opportunity to get lost in amazement at the array of stunning natural beauty that Egypt has to offer. Famous for the mysterious Pyramids of Giza and ancient temples and tombs, Egypt also boasts bustling markets, busy bazaars and some of the best coral reefs beneath the Red Sea, resulting in a melting pot of wonders that will leave you with incredible memories.

With so much to see and do, making a choice from some of the above destinations might not be too easy! Luckily Fred. Olsen offers a range of Grand Voyages such as our Far East Explorer cruise, so you won't miss a thing.

Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines

At Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines we are very proud of our smaller ships – Bolette, Borealis and Balmoral - and the imaginative and unusual itineraries they allow us to offer. Every cruise is hand-crafted from scratch by our team of in-house Journey Planners to make sure you are not only visiting the best destinations, but at the best time to experience them.

For us, it’s not just about where we go but how we take you there. We put as much time into planning scenic cruising as we do in choosing the destinations themselves. On board, our Signature Experiences showcase the history, culture, nature and flavours of the destinations you’ll visit – from Treats of the Region, where you can enjoy local delicacies, to our Sky at Sea star-gazing sessions where you can relax with a hot toddy out on deck while our astronomer talks you through the night sky.

Plus, with each ship carrying 1,300 guests or less, our ships are small enough for us to offer a warm, friendly and personal service where nothing is ever too much trouble, as we visit a host of exciting ports in every corner of the globe.
