Fred. Olsen’s cruises from Southampton offer guests chances to see the world in the company of hundreds, not thousands, of like-minded travellers. Join us as we sail along size-restricted waterways and discover unspoilt natural wonders, iconic sites and authentic cultures in captivating cities. Our Southampton cruises are the starting point for discovering all that the world has to offer.

From Southampton, you can embark on a variety of Fred. Olsen cruise holidays in 2025, including adventures to our beautiful homeland of Norway or cultural European city breaks. Set sail to the sun-kissed Canary Islands, explore the landscapes of Iceland, or discover the charm of the Mediterranean, Scandinavia, and the scenic Adriatic. There will also be opportunities to explore the colourful towns on the Amalfi Coast and the lesser-known gem of Cinque Terre.[ReadMoreMob]

In the summer months of 2026, you'll be able to choose from cruises to enchanting Baltic cities aboard Borealis, where you can uncover the historic highlights of Copenhagen, Tallinn, and Riga, along with the lesser-known gem of Saaremaa, or discover the volcanic landscapes of Iceland, and immerse yourself in the way of life here by bathing in hot springs or meeting with their unique breed of horses. The dramatic landscapes of the Norwegian fjords present some of the world’s most beautiful cruising experiences, and due to our smaller sized ships, we can take special diversions to view cascading waterfalls and other natural wonders, like the size-restricted Åkrafjord to Langfoss Waterfall. Borealis will also take you on a journey to Northern Spain, where, on 12th August, you'll be able to experience the dramatic phenomenon of a total solar eclipse, best viewed from the decks of your ship.

There’s even a choice of iconic Grand Voyages, offering once-in-a-lifetime journeys to inspirational, far-flung destinations around the world, like the Antarctic Peninsula to marvel at its breathtaking natural beauty, South America and the penguins of Patagonia, and a choice of fly cruises from London Stansted or Manchester to the sunny Mediterranean, Greek Islands and Dalmatian Coast.
