Fred Olsen
Introduction
Originally a Norwegian company, Fred Olsen now caters almost exclusively for the British market with most cruises leaving from the UK (plus some Caribbean cruises in the winter season).
Although it is not marked as such, a typical Fred Olsen passenger will be retired. Traditionally Fred Olsen was a refined traditional style cruise, however lower fares and aggressive marketing have led some to observe that the typical passenger is becoming much more working class retired.
Port shuttles are often chargeable.
