Customer Reviews
Fred Olsen Cruises has received praise on Trustpilot. One customer said: "The whole experience was very straightforward. Booking and checking in were both easy. Accommodation was what we expected." Another added: "Welcoming staff, excellent food and entertainment. Very well-maintained cabin and public areas." A third noted: "Very friendly, professional crew. Great ports of call and excursions." A fourth remarked: "As always, the whole experience was great. Every member of the crew ... could not help you enough." A fifth stated: "Smaller ship with plenty of seating ... a very friendly ship. Entertainment superb." A sixth commented: "You cater for everyone so well and sensitively. We feel specially treated."
However, one less pleased customer wrote: "The only criticism is that when the whales or dolphins swimming by boat there was no announcement to let the passengers know so opportunities to experience wild life missed." Another added: "The staff and crew are exemplary ... The evening entertainment wasn't to our taste but I guess you cant please all of the people all of the time. Would we sail with Fred again? Yes we would."
