Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines has announced an exciting on-board credit offer of up to £300 per cabin on selected 2025 & 2026 sailings.

The offer is valid on new bookings made between 20^th August and 24^th September 2025 and applies to over 100 sailings departing from September 2025 through to December 2026.

Standout sailings in the promotion include festive voyages in search of the Northern Lights, three cruises perfectly timed to witness the Solar Eclipse, a unique Mystery Cruise curated by one of Fred.

When booking within the promotional period, guests have the chance to enjoy up to £300 in complimentary on-board credit per cabin, or £150 per person.

On-board credit can be enjoyed in a variety of ways, from indulgent beauty and wellbeing treatments at the Atlantis Spa, to an evening of culinary discovery at Colours and Tastes, or a perfectly crafted martini experience.

Doug Glenwright, Guest Experience Director at Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines, said:

“We want every guest to cruise in comfort and style, while enjoying special experiences that create lasting memories. This offer is just one of the many ways we’re continuing to enhance the Fred. Olsen experience, guided by what matters most to our guests.

“Our new on-board credit offer is designed to add even more value to our guest’s journey, giving them the opportunity to enjoy indulgent moments – whether that’s unwinding with a treatment at our Atlantis Spa or sipping on expertly crafted cocktails at our martini experience – there’s truly something for everyone.”

In addition to complimentary on-board credit, from January 2026, guests booking on a Freedom Fare also benefit from an expanded range of inclusive benefits, all covered within the initial cruise fare. These benefits include a selection of drinks served with lunch and dinner, inclusive gratuities, and a host of added-value experiences designed to elevate the onboard experience and deliver exceptional value.
