New Fred Olsen Cruise Lines Web Site

Sometimes a cruise is much more than just a holiday; longer cruises, with a host of destinations and several weeks spent at sea, can be a genuinely life-enhancing experience.

One such cruise is Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines’ ‘New World’ grand voyage in 2012, aboard cruise ship Balmoral. To offer guests a foretaste of this longer cruise, and convey some of its magic, Fred. Olsen has produced a dedicated microsite at www.fredolsencruises-southamerica.com

The new microsite gives an idea of the scale and scope of this fascinating 89-night cruise, L1201, which leaves Southampton on 5th January 2012, and does not return until 3rd April 2012.

The ‘New World’ microsite is colourful, easy to navigate, full of useful information, and creates a sense of excitement and exoticism, as it unveils a tantalising taste of the cruise to come. The site’s animated introduction opens out like a gift being unwrapped, showing the cruise itinerary. The segments of the microsite cover every aspect of the cruise: the destinations visited and their individual cultures; the ship itself, with video of life on board Balmoral; the entertainment you can expect during the cruise; details of every port of call; and much more, including testimonials from real-life Fred. Olsen guests, as well as practical details, such as dates and prices.

Best Cruise Line for Seeing the World

Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines has triumphed in the Cruise Critic Editors’ Picks Awards. The Ipswich-based cruise line – with its Norwegian heritage, and fleet of four smaller, traditional ships – has been voted Best for Seeing the World by the influential cruise website.

Fred. Olsen operates cruises all over the world, most of which are ex-UK and sail from a number of convenient regional ports. They range from 2-3 night mini-cruises, to long epic voyages, ‘Around the World’ and ‘Around South America’.

Commenting on the award, Fred. Olsen’s Marketing Director, Nigel Lingard, said, “The human scale of our ships appeals to many people, who enjoy an informal and friendly experience and, of course, as the judges have recognised, smaller ships have access to some of the more remote and fascinating ports around the world - places that larger ships cannot reach.”
