Cruises from Southampton

Fred. Olsen’s cruises from Southampton offer guests chances to sail along size-restricted waterways and discover unspoilt natural wonders, iconic sites and authentic cultures in captivating cities.

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 and scenic Adriatic. There will also be opportunities to explore the colourful towns on the Amalfi Coast and the lesser-known gem of Cinque Terre.

In the summer months of 2026, you can choose from cruises to enchanting Baltic cities aboard Borealis and 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. During the autumn and winter, our 2026 cruises will take you to the Canaries for an epic fleet meet up in Gran Canaria, or, back by popular demand, ‘You Choose Your Cruise’ allows you and your fellow guests to vote for each port as you sail, creating your own unique itinerary.

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, or explore the scenic shores, islands and iconic cities of Italy, Greece and Turkey.
