VoyagesLifetime…of a

There’s something very special about a World Cruise or a Grand Voyage: the excitementand sense of adventure is almost palpable. Become part of a special band of intrepidtravellers and explore some of the most iconic and exciting destinations on earth – aswell as some places that have escaped the well-trodden tourist trails.

The Experience of a Lifetime…that you’ll want to repeatMany cruise lines operate world cruises, but only FredOlsen Cruise Lines offer the more intimate, morecomfortable home-from-home feel that’s unique toFred. Olsen. Their smaller scale ships, long-serving,friendly crews and mix of like-minded passengerscombine to create a special atmosphere that makestravelling with Fred Olsen so much more enjoyable; aplace where friendships naturally form. It’s the result ofcare and attention to detail, though it seems effortless.A Fred. Olsen World Cruise or Grand Voyage is wherethis really comes to the fore; after all, what could bebetter than seeing the world, except seeing it withfriends? The wonderful destinations to come are madeso much more special because they are shared withpeople who soon become friends as well as travelling

companions, making the whole experience richer andmore rewarding. And what wonderful destinationsthey are. Set sail in early January 2013 and for the nextthree months you’ll be immersed in some of the bestplaces that the world has to offer. Little wonder,perhaps, that for many of their satisfied customers, aFred. Olsen world cruise or Grand Voyage turns out tobe a once-in-a-lifetime experience they take again andagain.

Life on board…On a long voyage, be it the Around the World orAround Africa cruise, your cruise line of choicebecomes all the more important. At Fred. Olsen theyfirmly believe that the relaxing, home-from-homeatmosphere of their vessels provides the perfectsetting for the journey of a lifetime

Your home-from-homeMore country house hotel than flashy Las Vegas resort,Fred Olsen vessels are small enough to create a warm,friendly atmosphere, yet large enough to offer all thefacilities guests desire. You can do as little or as much asyou please on board. There are swimming pools andJacuzzis, along with ample space for sun bathing, orperhaps enjoy a refreshing fruit smoothie at the pool bar.There is a gym with a mix of aerobic equipment, weightsand classes including Pilates and Yoga; a spa and salon,offering a full range of treatments, including massage,facials and body treatments; the well-stocked library; acard room; varied entertainment every evening – fromthe ship’s own show company, a singer, comedian ormusicians – and a choice of dining in an informal café ora more formal restaurant. Whatever you choose to do,they’ll make sure that your time on board is just asmemorable as the amazing places you’ll see as youjourney across the globe.

Award-Winning HolidaysFamily-managed, and with a proud Norwegian sailingheritage, at Fred. Olsen they take a longer-term view ofthings, knowing it’s making the extra effort that keepscustomers coming back: that’s why last year more thanhalf their passengers had travelled with them before.This is not only reflected in the many kind commentsthey receive about their staff, it’s shown in the awardsthey win too. In 2011 they were voted Cruise Line of theYear by the readers of Cruise International magazine, aswell as winning Best Educational Cruise for their Vistascruise enrichment programme, Best Live Performance forThe Opera Babes as part of the Music & Laughter seasonand commended in the Best Value Cruise Line categorytoo.
