Fred. Olsen reveals first fly-cruise programme since 2019
Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines has revealed the details of its first fly-cruise programme since 2019
It comes after the company partnered with Cruise Trade News to leak an announcement that the line was launching its own airline – which was published as an April Fool on Tuesday (1 April).
The content was instead a nod towards Fred. Olsen’s new fly-cruise programme, as the operator prepares to enter into its new season.
Sonia Holman, director of e-commerce and marketing at Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines, said: “We are really excited to be offering fly-cruise again from this year.
“We are so well-established in the ex-UK market, and thought April Fool’s Day was the perfect opportunity for us to have some fun and get conversations flowing around our new fly-cruise programme.”
She continued: “We’d like to thank everyone for getting behind the news, and if it had you dreaming of sailing around the Mediterranean, perhaps one of our fly-cruises for 2025 or 2026 could be for you.”
Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines is offering two fly-cruise programmes across 2025 and 2026, which includes Balmoral’s 10-night Bays, Mountains and Islands of the Dalmatian Coast itinerary, departing from Civitavecchia, Italy, on 7 October 2025.
The vessel will also sail a 10-night Canaries Escape with the Fleet Fiesta fly-cruise with return flights from London or Manchester, departing from Santa Cruz, Tenerife, on 30 November 2026.
