Fred Olsen Cruise Lines reintroduces Greenland sailings due to ‘popular demand’

Fred Olsen Cruise Lines has released itineraries for 2027, featuring 70 sailings between January and September.

The programme will include the return of sailings through Greenland, which the line said have been reintroduced due to popular demand.

Other highlights include a voyage that coincides with Malta’s carnival and a cruise that will visit nine Northern European countries in 13 nights.

Passengers can also choose from an expanded selection of shorter cruises – five nights or fewer – scheduled around UK bank holidays, which the line said are "ideal for those looking for a well-timed escape".

Fred Olsen Cruise lines head of product innovation Martin Lister said: “We’re thrilled to unveil our 2027 cruise programme, thoughtfully put together by our journey planners to offer something for every kind of traveller.

“Whether you’re looking to tick off a bucket-list destination or simply relax in comfort, we’ve created a range of sailings that promise unforgettable experiences.”

He added: “There are some incredible destinations on offer, like Greenland, which is back by popular demand, Scotland’s wild isles, and the untouched beauty of Svalbard for those who love exploring.

“For guests looking for a more relaxed pace, the Canary Islands and the French Riviera are perfect for sunshine and classic coastal charm.

“We’ve also included moments at the top of so many travellers’ lists – from husky sledding under the northern lights and spotting humpback whales in the Atlantic, to sailing through Norway’s scenic waterways. There’s so much to discover, and we’re excited to share these experiences with our guests.”
