Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines returns to Belfast Harbour in 2014

Published on : Tuesday, March 11, 2014

Fred.-Olsen-Cruise-logo-300x94Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines is ‘bringing the world closer’ to the people of Belfast, with two exciting cruise itineraries in August and September 2014. Sailing on board 880-guest Boudicca, guests will have the opportunity, for the second year in a row, to embark on Fred. Olsen cruises from Belfast, without having to endure an expensive flight or long ferry crossing to reach the ship.
 

Boudicca will be offering an eight-night D1415 ‘Norwegian Fjords with Shetland’ cruise’, departing on 29th August 2014, and a ten-night D1416 ‘Morocco, Spain & Portugal’ cruise, departing on 6th September 2014.

 

Fred. Olsen’s connections with the seafaring city of Belfast run deep; the Fred. Olsen group of companies includes Fred. Olsen Energy, which comprises Offshore Drilling and Engineering & Fabrication, owner of the Harland & Wolff Shipyard, where the ill-fated R.M.S. Titanic was built.
 

Nathan Philpot, Sales and Marketing Director for Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines, said:

“Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines is looking forward to its second cruise season from Belfast this summer. We are offering local people the chance to take a cruise with us to two very different destinations: the Norwegian fjords – Fred. Olsen’s historic homeland – with Shetland, and Morocco, Spain and Portugal, for an exotic, sunshine break.

 
“Our research has shown that Norway is the Number One itinerary chosen by those who have never cruised before, so why not make this year your chance to start your ‘cruise career’ with Fred. Olsen!”
 

Joe O’Neill, Commercial Director of Belfast Harbour, said:

“In recent years, Belfast’s popularity as a port of call for cruise ships has reached record levels. However, we are delighted that our efforts in working with the team at Fred. Olsen to develop Belfast as a port of embarkation means that local people shall once again have the opportunity to begin their cruise holiday direct from Belfast Harbour.”
