Bumper Bookings To Start The Year For Fred. Olsen

Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines has got the year off to a flying start with business being well ahead of the same period in 2009. At the end of January, sales for 2010 are significantly up over sales for 2009 at this time last year, with passenger bookings 17% up and revenue sales up by almost 20%.

Lol Nichols, General Sales Manager for Fred. Olsen, said: "January has proven to be a strong booking month, which is a tremendous start to the year, and with the majority of our bookings coming through the retail trade I would like to say how much we appreciate the support from our travel agents. It’s interesting to see that on all ships, there has been much more demand for our suite and balcony accommodation, and this must be due in part to our newly launched ‘Suite Dreams’ package which gives passengers a large range of extras in their suites for no additional cost."

Fred. Olsen operates four ships which cruise for most of the year from six different UK ports to world wide destinations.

For information and bookings on all Fred. Olsen cruises agents can book online through F.OCAL or AmadeusCruise, or call Fred. Olsen Reservations on 01473 742424.

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.
