Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines has been crowned ‘Best for Solo Travellers’ in the Cruise Critic Editors’ Picks 2022.

Cruise Critic Editors highlighted Fred. Olsen’s organised social occasions such as welcome drinks parties, mixed dining tables and the introduction of their two newest ships, Bolette and Borealis, as cementing their commitment to single passengers.

With over 140 solo cabins across their fleet, Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines offers a host of on board activities including arts and craft sessions, dance hosts for solo guests and dedicated solo traveller events, giving guests the opportunity to socialise and meet new people during their cruise.

When booking before the 31^st January 2023, Fred. Olsen’s solo travellers can enjoy savings on over 20 cruises with sailings from just £699 plus a free drinks package or on board spend on selected sailings. These cruises give solo travellers the chance to unwind on the sandy beaches of the Canaries for a Christmas Break on board Borealis, experience the best of Bergen with wintertime Norwegian fjords or discover northern Spain on board their flagship Bolette.

The award follows on from Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines’ two consumer-voted wins in November, including ‘Best Cruise Line for No-Fly Cruise Holidays’ at the British Travel Awards 2022 and being named ‘Favourite Ocean Cruise Line’ at the Wave Awards 2022.

Clare Ward, Director of Product and Customer Service at Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines, said:

“We’re delighted to have been awarded Best for Solo Travellers, we love welcoming our solo guests on board and having our dedication to these guests recognised by a panel of industry expert judges is incredibly important to us.

“Our smaller ships mean that those guests who travel alone can expect to feel at home from the moment they step on board and whether they chose to join in with events, or enjoy the cruise on their own, they’re assured to be looked after and in the best company.”
