Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines has introduced ‘twin-for-sole occupancy’ discounts.

These deals mean that a solo guest, occupying a twin cabin, will either pay no single-supplement or receive up to 50% off the supplement cost, depending on the selected cruise.

Nathan Philpot, sales and marketing director for Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines, said:

“With 10% of all rooms in our fleet being dedicated to solo travellers, Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines has one of the highest proportions of dedicated accommodation for solos within the industry.”

For those solo cruisers who prefer to occupy a single cabin, the cruise line has a number of cabin options available on each of its four ships, covering all grades, from ‘Single Inside’ and ‘Single Outside’ cabins, to ‘Single Balcony Suites’. Overall, the Fred. Olsen fleet has 190 single cabins; Braemar offers 40 such cabins, Black Watch and Boudicca each have 43, and Balmoral has 64.

Once on board a Fred. Olsen ship, solo travellers will find exclusive gatherings for them to get to know each other, and staff on board will seat them together for dinner, and arrange companions for solo travellers when going ashore, if required. There are also Gentleman Hosts and Dance Couples on board the ships to provide dancing partners for solo guests.

The relatively small size of Fred. Olsen’s fleet of ships – Balmoral, Braemar, Boudicca and Black Watch – and the relaxed and friendly atmosphere on board make Fred. Olsen cruises especially attractive for those travelling alone.
