Fred. Olsen's Fleet Fiesta
New Fleet Meet in 2026!
We’re thrilled to announce our next fleet reunion, which will take place in Las Palmas, Gran Canaria. Like past celebrations, this ‘fleet fiesta’ promises a day of festivities on the quayside, featuring lively competitions like Battle of the Bartenders and Tug of War, special performances from our show team, and much more. With the Canaries' year-round sunshine providing the perfect setting, it’s set to be a memorable occasion for guests and crew alike.
2023's fleet in Funchal event
On Thursday 9th November 2023, all three ships in the Fred. Olsen fleet sailed into Portugal's Madeira and docked together as part of our historic 'Fleet in Funchal' event.
The day promised to be packed full of Fred. Olsen celebrations with entertainment on the quayside and crew competitions, and it did not disappoint! A vibrant carnival atmosphere was created both on board the ships and ashore, with our Show Companies putting on a singing and dancing extravaganza; our Entertainment Managers singing a medley of popular songs; the Battle of the Bartenders and of course the famous tug-of-war competition between the ships crews.
Guests also had the opportunity to step aboard and explore our other ships, and meeting up and celebrating with crew and fellow travellers. Of course our guests got to indulge in our specially crafted celebration evening dinner menu.
Then, the day ended perfectly as Bolette, Borealis and Balmoral all sailed out of Funchal together, to the backdrop of a fantastic fireworks show on the island. It was a day we won't forget, so take a look at some of our high points!
