Fred. Olsen Cruises 2027

For guests who would rather feel part of the places they visit than watch them go by from a crowded deck, Fred. Olsen 2027 cruises bring a full year of no-fly sailings, fly-cruise options and headline world cruises to choose from. With departures from across the UK, booking a Fred. Olsen 2027 cruise now provides the widest choice of cabins and dates before the year's most popular sailings close.

Why Choose Fred. Olsen 2027 Cruises?

Fred. Olsen Cruises has always done things on a smaller, more intimate scale, and its 2027 programme leans into that signature style. Across its fleet, guests can sail on ships built to feel more like a country house hotel than a floating resort, with fewer than 1,400 passengers on board, even on its largest ships. That scale lets itineraries reach harbours the bigger ships in the industry simply cannot access.

Fred. Olsen's full-board dining, selected drinks, gratuities and port taxes are all built into the fare, so guests know broadly what a holiday will cost before they step on board. Anyone weighing up cabin grade should know that Fred. Olsen's fleet leans heavily towards inside and outside staterooms rather than balconies, so it is worth checking availability for your chosen departure well ahead of booking.

Where to Go with Fred. Olsen 2027 Cruises?

More than 100 sailings make up the Fred. Olsen's 2027 cruise programme runs from short breaks over a long weekend to cruises that circle the globe. Here is where guests can go with Fred. Olsen in 2027:

Mediterranean

The Mediterranean carries the bulk of the 2027 schedule, with Balmoral and Bolette calling at ports that larger ships pass over in favour of the usual cruise terminals. Expect itineraries that take in Malta's Grand Harbour, the Sardinian coast, and the Adriatic ports of Croatia and Montenegro, with a number of sailings built around Malta's Carnival in February.

Norwegian Fjords

A Fred. Olsen Norwegian Fjords 2027 cruise remains one of the line's most sought-after itineraries, and the season brings a dedicated Arctic Norway voyage that crosses the Arctic Circle to reach Longyearbyen, Hammerfest and Tromsø before threading back past Norway's western coastline.

Canary Islands

Fred. Olsen's Canary Islands season runs through the winter months, with Balmoral and Bolette departing Southampton and Liverpool on itineraries that island-hop between Tenerife, Gran Canaria, Lanzarote and La Palma, usually with a call in Madeira along the way. It remains one of the most dependable options for guests after winter sun without a flight.
