The first reunion of Fred Olsen’s new-look fleet will take place in November 2023 when all four of its smaller ships come together in Madeira.
Bolette, Borealis, Balmoral and Braemar will set sail on four separate cruises, designed to allow them to come together for a Fleet in Funchal celebration.
The occasion will be marked with a quayside fiesta, and the opportunity for guests to explore the entire fleet while in port.
Managing director Peter Deer said: “Our teams here are already busy curating a programme of events, and will be working very closely with the team in the Port of Funchal to ensure it is a truly memorable day for all.”
