Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines
REMARKABLE MOMENTS ON BOARD YOUR SMALLER SHIP
REMARKABLE MOMENTS START HERE
The on-board experience on Fred. Olsen’s smaller ships is filled with remarkable moments, both day and night.
At the heart of this experience is their warm and attentive crew, who go above and beyond to ensure that these moments become cherished memories that will last a lifetime.
Imagine entering The Observatory on a leisurely day at sea, where your favourite bartender greets you with a smile and asks, "Your usual?". Picture stepping on board after a day of exploration ashore, only to be welcomed back warmly by name. And envision their team of waiters and waitresses greeting you each evening and guiding you to your restaurant table to dine in style. These are just a few of the remarkable moments that await you.
As day turns to night, take the chance to stroll around the deck as the sunset slips away into the horizon. Dance the night away with fellow guests or Fred. Olsen’s friendly, knowledgeable dance hosts, all while enjoying the tunes of a live band. And if you're lucky enough to witness the Northern Lights, this momentous occasion becomes even more special with a hot chocolate delivered by a crew member.
However you wish to spend your day on board, you'll always return to your cabin to find it perfectly prepared for a restful night's sleep, with dimmed lights, a turned-down bed and chocolate on your pillow.
