Fred. Olsen Cruises 2028

Q: Can you book Fred. Olsen cruises in 2028 from the UK?

Yes, Fred. Olsen cruises in 2028 depart from Southampton , Liverpool , Newcastle and more, with selected Mediterranean and Atlantic Island itineraries sold as fly-cruises from Malaga for guests who would rather start their holiday somewhere warmer.

If you're seeking a cruise line that delivers a proper holiday experience, Fred. Olsen's cruises in 2028 deserve a place at the top of the list. Its three-ship fleet reaches harbours and fjord towns that would be out of bounds to something twice the size, and its 2028 programme stretches from a long-awaited return to Canada to an eclipse-chasing voyage around the Atlantic islands.

Why Choose Fred. Olsen Cruises 2028?

Fred. Olsen Cruises has been doing this for 175 years, and its 2028 season puts that experience to good use. Because its ships carry a fraction of the guests of the newest ocean giants, they can berth in the centre of a town rather than a cargo terminal on its outskirts, giving every day ashore a head start most cruise lines can't match.

That same scale carries through to life onboard, where Tastes of the Region dining shifts its menus to match whichever coastline the ship is passing, and Itinerary Insights talks set out the history of the next port before anyone steps off the gangway. Solo travellers are especially well looked after on Fred. Olsen 2028 cruises, with 157 dedicated single cabins spread across the fleet. Loyal cruisers are rewarded too, with every night on board counting towards Oceans Club membership and the benefits that come with each tier.

Where to Go with Fred. Olsen 2028 Cruises?

With Fred. Olsen cruises in 2028 from UK ports, there's a genuine spread of regions on offer, from short hops along the fjords to some of the longest and newest routes this line has sailed in years. Here are some of the top destinations guests can discover with Fred. Olsen 2028 cruises:

Norwegian Fjords

Few ships can press as far inland as Fred. Olsen's, and its 2028 Norwegian Fjord sailings make the most of that reach. A 10-night round trip from Liverpool takes in the Briksdal Glacier, the Loen Skylift and the Fureberg Waterfall, giving guests a close-up view of landscapes that larger ships can only watch from a distance.

Mediterranean

Among the most in-demand sailings in the new programme is a Mediterranean voyage along the Italian Riviera and the Amalfi Coast, departing from Newcastle. Expect harbour towns built into cliffsides, long lunches overlooking the water and the kind of unhurried pace that has become a Fred. Olsen hallmark in this part of the world.

Mediterranean Cruise

Atlantic Islands and the Caribbean

Two new 2028 itineraries bring these regions together in different ways. A fly-cruise from Malaga to Lisbon is timed around a total solar eclipse and calls at six Atlantic islands, including El Hierro and Madeira, while a Caribbean round trip from Portsmouth island-hops through Bermuda, the Bahamas, the Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico, with an overnight stay built in at San Juan.

Northern Europe

A 13-night Northern Europe sailing from Newcastle visits nine countries in one itinerary, including Tallinn, Helsinki and Gdansk, making it one of the most comprehensive ways to take in the Baltic in a single voyage.

Canada

New for 2028 and Fred. Olsen's first return to the country since 2024, a round trip from Liverpool calls at Belfast before crossing the Atlantic to St. John's, Newfoundland. From there, this Canada itinerary takes in Humber Arm and the Bay of Islands, the UNESCO-listed L'Anse aux Meadows and Old Québec, with whale and iceberg sightings a regular feature along the way.
