Fred Olsen adds coastal cruise incentives to boost sales

A free all-inclusive drinks package or no single supplement will be offered on a selection of Fred Olsen Cruise Lines’ ‘Welcome Back’ sailings for all new bookings made this weekend.

The line is running six sailings by new ships Borealis and Bolette, with departures from Liverpool or Dover.

Some include ports of call, including Falmouth and Portland in the south, or the Scottish ports of Lerwick and Kirkwall. 

Passengers can choose between an all-inclusive drinks package, offering selected house wines, beers, spirits and soft drinks, and their tips covered, or no single supplement on each cruise.

 Solo sailings start at £699. 

The offer is available from today (Friday) until June 8. 

Product and customer service director Clare Ward said: “This summer is set to be like no other when it comes to holidaying in the UK.

“Adding an all inclusive drinks package is a great way to help our guests make the most of their time with us, and to enjoy the many facilities and new venues we have on board our new ships. We also have a selection of cruises with no single supplements, designed especially for our solo travellers.

“Experts from marine wildlife charity ORCA will join us aboard for our scenic ‘no port’ sailings this summer, with our British waters known to be frequented by common, Risso’s and bottlenose dolphins, as well as harbour porpoises and minke whales.

“A cruise offers a unique way to see so many wonderful destinations right on our doorstep.”
