Cruise Trade News has teamed up with Fred Olsen Cruise Lines to bring you the most innovative campaign in travel.

For the month of December, a host of amazing prizes will be available to win, kindly donated by Fred Olsen. The promotion, from 1 December to Christmas Eve, will operate in both print and digital formats to provide a true multi-platform experience.

Fred Olsen Cruise Lines head of sales Geoff Ridgeon said: “Wow, what a year it has been. To say it has been a rollercoaster would be a bit of an understatement. But what is undeniable is that we quite simply couldn’t have got through the past 18 months without the support of the trade.

“Earlier this year we unveiled The Olsen Way, and one of the guiding principles is ‘It’s all about the people. All of it. Everything’.

“That is certainly true when it comes to you all. Sponsoring the Cruise Trade News advent calendar is the perfect opportunity for us to extend a thank you to you all for your patience, guidance, support and feedback, as we worked to get our ships sailing again.

“This year we set sail with two new ships among the fleet, Bolette and Borealis, and we know so many of you are keen to get on board to explore them for yourselves. And very soon we will have Balmoral and Braemar welcoming guests back on board again, too.

“What better gift could we give at Christmas than offering three agents and a guest the chance to join us on one of our hand-crafted itineraries next year, so we can show you what makes cruising aboard our small ships so special?”

CTN editor Gary Peters: “The upcoming December issue of CTN is always a special moment for us, as we work with Fred Olsen to give back to the travel agent community. I’d like to thank all those at Fred Olsen for working with us to deliver a bit of festive joy at this special time of year. Keep your eyes peeled for more over the coming weeks.”

Stayed tuned for more information very soon, including a full list of prizes.
