The new portfolio features sailings in Albania, Bosnia, Slovenia, Norway, Spitsbergen and the Amalfi Coast.

To celebrate the launch, the line is offering 10 agents the chance to win a VIP cruise to Iceland this June. Agents must register new bookings from the summer 2023 programme made between 16 March and 15 April via the company’s Travel Agent Centre.

 
The programme offers more than 40 departures between June and October 2023, with regional departures available from Southampton, Dover, Tilbury, Liverpool, Newcastle, Rosyth and Belfast.
 
Members of Fred Olsen’s Oceans loyalty scheme can take advantage of an early booking period from Wednesday (16 March), ahead of the new itineraries going on general sale on Friday (18 March) at 9am.

Geoff Ridgeon, head of sales at Fred Olsen Cruise Lines, said the new programme "really showcases what makes us special".
 
"We have hand-crafted each cruise to celebrate the smaller size of our ships and the opportunities they allow us to offer our guests, and your customers," he added.
 
"You will find a number of cruises that have been timed specifically to allow guests to witness a destination at its seasonal best or to coincide with a special event ashore.

"For example, Braemar is calling into the Danish town of Fredericia next July in time for the annual 6th July celebrations, while in October Borealis is venturing to Canada in time for guests to witness the spectacular autumnal foliage."
