Fred Olsen Cruise Lines has extended its cruise sale offer into February after the line’s most successful January on record.

Last month saw a record number of bookings, including a 50 per cent rise in those trying the line for the first time, compared to January 2020.

The offer includes sailings starting from £599pp, plus a choice of a free all-inclusive drinks package or on-board spend on selected 2023 cruises when booked before 28 February, inclusive.

Savings for solo travellers are also featured, with cruises starting from £849pp.

There are 60 itineraries to choose from, ranging from five to 29 nights.

Regional departures are available from Southampton, Rosyth, Newcastle and Liverpool.

Fred Olsen reports ‘phenomenal’ start to 2023

Fred Olsen Cruise Lines managing director Peter Deer said: “We have seen a phenomenal start to the year, with bookings – including those trying our brand for the first time – exceeding those in our last pre-pandemic year in 2019.

“To build on that momentum, we have extended our cruise sale into February with a selection of new offers so that even more people can plan adventures to look forward to this year.

“I’d like to say a huge thank you to our teams here, both on board and ashore, without whom none of this would be possible.”

When the sale was first announced, the line’s director of product and customer service Clare Ward added: “This year and next, guests can look ahead to adventures to Scandinavia, the Baltic, Europe and the UK, with each cruise curated by our dedicated Journey Planners to make sure we are visiting at a time of year to experience something truly special.”
