Fred Olsen Cruises
The British company, in its fifth generation of ownership by the same family, has long catered to its traditionally over-50 passengers.
In this sense, it actually creates and designs cabins for its solo travelers.
The line offers primarily UK based cruises to a mostly British market, but is attracting some North Americans to its winter Caribbean trips,
which are marketed to new world travelers. Fred. Olsen sedate atmosphere, which caters to a mature demographic,
will be a welcome change for those who choose to avoid the more raucous nature of most mass-market lines.
All Fred Olsen ships offer solo cabins, ranging in number from 40 Braemar to 64 Balmoral.
Not only do single cabins come in a variety of categories including a few balcony staterooms and solo suites, but they are also decorated for solos.
Travelers can find a cozy stateroom with just one bed, with extra furnishings where the second bed would normally go.
Technically, all cabins could be discounted if they do not sell close to a sailing.
But discounts on single cabins are rare as they typically book up very early.
Fred Olsen lines are of a classic cruise ship size, smaller than those larger vessels designed for the mass market.
There is a constant welcoming and personalised onboard mood where all passengers get to know each other
and there is a friendly service that always attentive but never obtrusive.
The size of the ships make them perfect for making new friends among fellow guests.
Travelling on a cruise for single people on Fred Olsen ships offers excellent value and
a good selection of inside and outside cabins, designed specifically for single occupancy.
All of Red Olsens fleet offer single inside and outside cabins as well as deluxe cabins, tailor made for the solo traveller to cruise in comfort.
Gentlemen hosts are available to ensure that single ladies are never too long without a dance partner.
Fred Olsen operates 4 ships, Black Watch, Braemar, Boudicca and the Balmoral.
Each ship in the fleet has its own unique personality, but never loses that friendly,
home-from-home atmosphere, where friendships are forged with fellow-passengers and crew alike.
