Highlights of ​the programme include the return of scenic sailings through Greenland, a cruise timed with Malta’s vibrant carnival, and a unique itinerary visiting nine Northern European countries in just 13 nights. Guests can also choose from an expanded selection of shorter cruises – five nights or fewer – scheduled around UK bank holidays, ideal for those looking for a well-timed escape.

Martin Lister, Head of Product Innovation at Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines, said:
“We’re thrilled to unveil our 2027 cruise programme, thoughtfully put together by our journey planners to offer something for every kind of traveller. Whether you're looking to tick off a bucket-list destination or simply relax in comfort, we’ve created a range of sailings that promise unforgettable experiences.

“There are some incredible destinations on offer, like Greenland, which is back by popular demand, Scotland’s wild isles, and the untouched beauty of Svalbard for those who love exploring. For guests looking for a more relaxed pace, the Canary Islands and the French Riviera are perfect for sunshine and classic coastal charm.

“We’ve also included moments at the top of so many travellers’ lists – from husky sledding under the Northern Lights and spotting humpback whales in the Atlantic, to sailing through Norway’s scenic waterways. There’s so much to discover, and we’re excited to share these experiences with our guests.”

Guests booking by 30th October can take advantage of Fred. Olsen’s Freedom Fare Price Promise, guaranteeing the best value for early bookers. If a lower fare or additional benefits – such as onboard spending or drinks packages – are introduced later, Fred. Olsen will honour the difference with a complimentary cabin upgrade or onboard credit. For solo travellers, single occupancy cabins will match equivalent twin fares during the first four weeks of launch.

What’s more, for cruises departing in 2027, guests can continue to enjoy even more with Fred. Olsen’s Freedom Fare. Alongside full-board dining, entertainment and enrichment talks, guests will also benefit from: complimentary guided walks ashore, shuttle buses for distant ports, fitness centre access and classes, selected drinks with meals, plus inclusive gratuities, port taxes and fees.
