Why Fred. Olsen is the Cruise Line You Can Trust (and Love)
Why Fred. Olsen is the Cruise Line You Can Trust (and Love)
If you’re considering a cruise, Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines is a superb choice. With comfortable ships, meaningful itineraries, and thoughtful guarantees that put your peace of mind first. Here’s what makes them stand out and why booking through Sussex Cruise Club means you can cruise with confidence.
What Makes Fred. Olsen Special
Smaller ship intimacy and genuine warmth
Fred. Olsen ships are more compact than many ocean liners. What this means is that you benefit from a more personal, family friendly atmosphere, attentive service, and a sense that every guest matters. If you prefer friendly staff, relaxed communal spaces, and fewer crowds, you’ll feel at home aboard one of their vessels.
The Olsen Way Promise
Booking a Fred. Olsen cruise more than 12 weeks in advance on cruises of five nights or more comes with a unique offer: if within a couple of days of sailing you find that the experience isn’t for you, just let them know. They’ll arrange and cover your flight back to the UK from the next port and refund the cost of your cruise. It’s a powerful reassurance that your enjoyment matters from the moment you book.
Freedom Fare Price Promise
Fred. Olsen’s “Freedom Fare Price Promise” was introduced in their Summer 2026 itineraries. It’s an early booking incentive that rewards those who book quickly. Book a Freedom Fare within the first four weeks of a cruise going on sale, and if a comparable cabin is reduced in price later, you’ll receive either a cabin upgrade or on board credit to match the value of the drop. It’s a guarantee that you will not lose out by being an early bird.

How to Make the Most of Fred. Olsen Cruises
Keep an eye out for when new cruises are released. Booking early often gives you both better prices and access to the Price Promise benefits.
Think about what kind of cabin works best for you: location, size, view. Small ships can mean fewer upgrades available, so clarity at booking helps.
Consider duration and timing. Fred. Olsen offers everything from short breaks to longer voyages. Certain ships include adults only options giving more choice depending on your travel preferences.
The Bottom Line
Cruising with Fred. Olsen gives you a blend of comfort, quality, flexibility, and guarantees that many other lines either can’t offer or charge extra for. When you combine that with the specialist help you get from Sussex Cruise Club, you can book not just a cruise but peace of mind.
