Fred Olsen Cruise Lines Aims to Reunite Four Ships to Funchal

Next year, Fred Olsen Cruise Lines aims to send all four of its ships to Funchal, Madeira.

Following the ‘Fleet in Funchal’ reunion in November 2023, the ships – Bolette, Borealis, Balmoral, and Braemar – will embark on four consecutive trips.

Passengers will have the opportunity to explore the other ships while they are docked in port at a quayside party.

Depending on the stateroom grade, up to £400 in onboard credit will be applied to passengers’ accounts during the cruise.

The managing director of Fred Olsen Cruise Lines, Peter Deer, said: “This is set to be an incredible day in our history, as it will be the first time that our new fleet will be in port together since we set sail again last summer.

“Our teams here are already busy curating a programme of events and will be working very closely with the team in the Port of Funchal to ensure it is a truly memorable day for all.”

“Of course, while our Fleet in Funchal event will undoubtedly be a highlight, each ship will be embarking on its own adventure, offering guests the chance to enjoy warmer climates during the British winter.”

Bolette will offer a 15-night Spain & Portugal with Fleet in Funchal cruise; Balmoral will offer a 15-night The Canary Islands with Fleet in Funchal cruise; Braemar will offer a Discovering Cultural Morocco with Fleet in Funchal cruise; and Borealis will complete a 15-night The Azores with Fleet in Funchal cruise ahead of the reunion.
