The cruise holiday market place is pretty crowded these days and the different operators all need to produce some pretty special deals to get us interested.
So why would we look at Fred Olsen cruises?
A Great Selection of Cruises
Different cruises suit different holidaymakers so it is always good to see a wide selection on offer.
The Fred Olsen cruise options include some very exciting looking trips.
As well as classic cruising destinations such as the Mediterranean and the Caribbean there are also holidays to places such as West Africa, Greenland and South America to choose from.
On top of this, there are a number of different lengths of trip to pick from, so whether you want a quick break or a long, languid trip you should find something to suit you.
There is even a full world cruise which lasts over 100 nights[1].
No Fuel Surcharge
At the time we looked at the Fred Olsen cruises 2011 deals booked before the end of August came with a no fuel surcharge guarantee which would certainly help keep down the price of the trip.
Sale Offers
There is a regular sale offer section on the site although we entered into the page between offers.
It seems as though 6 selected cruises are just about to be put on offer in the next few days.
Ship Locator
This is a nice feature which we haven’t come across on other cruise operators’ sites.
If you have a friend or relative who is on a Fred Olsen boat you can track their progress across the globe in real time.
This is a very nice idea and we hope our friends will be tracking us when we finally get to go on that round the world trip we mentioned earlier.
The Top Facilities
With Fred Olsen cruises you get a ship with some amazing facilities.
As well as occasional special guest speakers you can relax with a pool, a library, a beauty salon, a gym, golf nets, an arts and crafts room and lots more.
There is no chance of you getting bored even when you are far from land.
Then once you reach the destination ports you get the chance to explore some exotic places and return to the comfort of your cabin.
Dining is also a key part of any cruise experience, and you will find some very lavish restaurants and tempting menus on board these ships.
