Fred. Olsen is voted ‘Best Ocean Cruise Line’ in the ‘2016 Silver Travel Awards’

Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines was proud to be named ‘Best Ocean Cruise Line’ in the prestigious ‘2016 Silver Travel Awards’, held at the London Transport Museum on the evening of 22nd June 2016, presented by actress Amanda Redman MBE.

The ‘Silver Travel Awards’, now in their second year, are voted for by members of Silver Travel Advisor, and celebrate the very best travel providers and operators across the industry, who cater to the more mature consumer.

Fred. Olsen was named winner of the coveted ‘Best Ocean Cruise Line’ award out of a shortlist of five, which also included Celebrity Cruises, Cunard, P&O Cruises and Cruise & Maritime Voyages – who were voted runner-up.

Rachael Jackson, Public Relations Manager for Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines, said:

"This is a great honour for us and we are thrilled to win this award! Fred. Olsen has been working with Silver Travel Advisor for a number of years now, and we know that many of their members enjoy cruising with us.

“We specialise in innovative, destination-led holidays, and we are committed to listening to the needs of our 50+ guests to understand what they would like to experience with us - from convenient regional departures ‘on your doorstep’, to shore excursions for all appetites and abilities, we make it easy to get the most out of a Fred. Olsen cruise!" 

Debbie Marshall, Managing Director of Silver Travel Advisor, said:

“These awards are voted for by consumers and celebrate the companies that are best recognising the needs of the rapidly developing over 50s market. Holidays on the water are highly popular with mature travellers, and we’re delighted to see Fred. Olsen winning the ocean cruise sector. Successful holidays, friends’ recommendations and peer reviews on websites such as Silver Travel Advisor have helped the mature traveller cruise with companies they trust and can rely upon.”

Silver Travel Advisor is an independent travel reviews, information and advice website, especially for mature travellers aged 50 and over.

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.
