Fred Olsen is offering a programme focusing on history and culture, once-in-a-lifetime experiences and natural phenomena for 2024/25, as well as the return after five years of its popular Mystery Cruise.
It features specially-timed sailings to coincide with natural wonders and destination events, chances to encounter native wildlife and uncover rich and vibrant histories across the planet.
There are also opportunities to follow natural bird migrations, witness meteor showers, experience the world’s second largest carnival, and the chance to spot wild polar bears with a specially-planned scenic diversion.
And for the first time since 2019, an 11-night Mystery Cruise sets sail from Southampton in November 2024, with guests able to follow in the footsteps of explorers, navigators and seafarers as they guess their next port of call.
Continuing their commitment to sailing from regional UK ports, Fred Olsen is offering offer departures from Liverpool, Newcastle, Rosyth, Dover, Southampton and Portsmouth in 2024 and 2025.
The cruise line has unveiled a number of offers to celebrate the launch, with up to £150 per person to spend on-board on sailings of five to 12 nights; the choice of up to £250 per person in on-board spending credit OR free door-to-door transfers within 250 mainland miles of the port, plus a series of dedicated offers for solo offers.
Martin Lister, head of itinerary planning, said: “We have taken inspiration from both natural and organised events in the destinations to create some really imaginative and unusual itineraries.
“Some of the highlights include chances to witness the Perseid Meteor Shower in sailings to the Azores, to seek out the phenomenal Northern Lights in adventures to the Arctic or to visit the beautiful Norwegian Fjords in the spring when the waterfalls are at their strongest.
“There are many opportunities to uncover ancient history and fascinating cultures too, including in sailings to the Adriatic, Mediterranean and the Baltic regions.”
