Festive Cruises with Fred. Olsen

Join Fred. Olsen next festive season

With a super selection of cruises to choose from, both leading up to and over the festive period, we're sure you'll find a Fred. Olsen cruise to suit you; from traditional European Christmas Markets, to an unforgettable White Christmas in Norway, or enjoying the winter sun in the Canaries. Of course, there are the stunning fireworks in Madeira or Ålesund too, where your cruise ship will have the perfect vantage point to see them all as the clock ticks over to the new year.

What a special time of year to be on board one of Fred. Olsen's smaller-sized cruise ships! A Christmas and New Year cruise is the perfect way to celebrate - the elves have been busy hanging twinkling decorations and dressing Christmas Trees, the crew are in festive spirits, and there may even be an appearance from the main man in red!

Let Fred. Olsen take care of Christmas for you - sit back and relax, enjoy a festive cocktail; treat yourself at the Atlantis Spa; watch the superb Show Company's festive performances; and of course indulge in a fabulous Christmas Lunch with all the trimmings.

On board Christmas & New Year Cruises

Festive dining & drinks
Fred. Olsen knows that the onboard cuisine is a massive part of a cruise, but their teams do go the extra mile on the Christmas Cruises! Delicious starters will whet your appetite, followed by traditional roast turkey or a mouth-watering steak, and finished with Christmas Pudding and mince pies, accompanied by plenty of festive fizz. Sit out on the deck with a steaming glass of mulled wine to give you that natural Christmassy feeling, or sample some of the specially created festive cocktails. See in the New Year by addressing the haggis at its cocktail party, before enjoying a sumptuous feast, perhaps wearing a hint of sparkle, and completed with a stunning fireworks show.

Festive entertainment
A huge selection of activities is available, including Midnight Mass on Christmas Eve, Reindeer Racing, carol singing, festive-themed quizzes, Christmas jumper Day - with a prize for the best one, kitchen creations in the Auditorium and the amazing Gingerbread Houses created by the talented onboard chefs.

Evening entertainment will be fabulous as the Show Companies put on performances guaranteed to spread some festive cheer. Get ready to boo and cheer as you're transported to Pantoland, or sing along with well-known Christmas songs as the attentive staff ensures everything is taken care of for you.
