Christmas & New Year Cruises 2024/2025
Spending the festive season on board one of Fred. Olsen’s smaller ships is a truly magical experience, during which you can relax away from the usual hustle and bustle at home. On board our Christmas and New Year cruises, you can expect traditional Christmas feasts, beautiful decorations, incredible entertainment, and the warm service that our crew are renowned for, allowing you to relax and enjoy every moment.
Whether you’d prefer to bask in the winter warmth of the Canary Islands – complete with New Year’s Eve fireworks in Lisbon or Funchal, seek out the awe-inspiring Northern Lights at the most magical time of year, or explore the charming Christmas markets of France and Belgium, each of our festive cruises has something special to offer.
Imagine opening your curtains to a new destination each day, enjoying happy times with new-found friends, and being looked after by our exceptional crew as you embark upon one of our specially curated Christmas cruises.
"This cruise brought the magic of Christmas back for me."
