Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines Reveals 2026 Fall-Winter Sailings
Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines has revealed its 2026 fall-winter program, featuring over 30 sailings to a variety of destinations, including Norway, the Mediterranean, and beyond.
Exciting Highlights in the Upcoming Program
The new itinerary lineup includes:
- A three-ship Fleet Fiesta in Gran Canaria.
- A Mystery Cruise for adventurous travelers.
- Three festive holiday sailings.
- The return of You Choose Your Cruise, where guests influence the voyage route.
Among the standout voyages is a 71-night Grand Voyage, which introduces a new Mediterranean fly-cruise, exploring Corsica, the Adriatic, Greece, the French Riviera, and the Amalfi Coast. Guests will also have the opportunity to visit new port calls, including Messina, Siracusa, and Savona in Italy, as well as Lesvos and Samos in Greece.
All sailings will be available under Fred. Olsen’s Freedom Fare Price Promise, ensuring that early bookers receive either a cabin upgrade or onboard credit if their fare is later reduced.
A Season of Unique and Scenic Adventures
Martin Lister, Head of Product Innovation at Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines, shared his enthusiasm for the new sailings:
"We have had great fun planning our next program of cruising, with plenty of sailings offering the chance to extend summer’s warmth as the days become shorter and darker back home."
He also highlighted the appeal of longer voyages, such as the 71-night Grand Voyage, along with a selection of destination-rich fly-cruises to the Mediterranean’s stunning coastlines.
"We’ve also included some particularly special sailings to both warmer and cooler climates, from the chance to witness the Geminid Meteor Shower from the vantage point of the sea, where there is less light pollution, to adventures to seek out the Northern Lights," he added.
One of the most anticipated events of December 2026 is the 'Fleet Fiesta', where all ships in the fleet will come together in Gran Canaria for a festive celebration on the quayside, taking advantage of the year-round sunshine in the Canary Islands.
Simplified and Inclusive Pricing Model
Starting in January 2026, Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines is introducing an all-inclusive pricing structure that covers:
Dining, drinks, and entertainment.
Enrichment activities and fitness classes.
Shuttle buses and guided strolls.
Gratuities and port fees.
A new Premium Drinks Package will also be available for an upgraded experience, and guests who have already booked a drinks package for 2026 will automatically receive this upgrade at no extra charge.
Doug Glenwright, Guest Experience Director at Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines, emphasized the importance of this change:
"We know that cruising provides exceptional value for money when compared with many overland equivalents, but feedback from our guests told us that this wasn’t always clear."
He continued:
"It’s really important to us that every cruise is relaxing and carefree, and that should start right from the moment a booking is made. That’s why we’ve listened to our guests, and made our pricing simpler, clearer, and more inclusive – so that guests can look ahead to exploring the world with us without worrying about extra costs."
