Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines will be launching a ‘Free All-Inclusive for 2018’ promotion on all new bookings made between 6th September and 18th October 2017 inclusive, on 50 selected sailings in 2018. This complimentary drinks package gives Fred.

Justin Stanton, Sales and Marketing Director for Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines, said:

“To support our exciting cruise programme for 2018 – which includes Balmoral’s first-ever cruise season from Scotland – we are pleased to be offering guests the chance to benefit from our ‘all-inclusive’ drinks package for free on a range of 50 selected sailings next year.

“This fantastic drinks upgrade will be complimentary to Fred. Olsen guests for a limited time only, so that they can relax with complete peace, safe in the knowledge that their holiday is even better value, with almost everything covered.”
