Around the World Cruises & Grand Voyages

At Fred. Olsen, we share your passion for travel with our World Cruises and Grand Voyages, carefully crafted each year to take you to the world’s most incredible destinations aboard our smaller ships.

The warm waters of the Mediterranean will welcome Balmoral on an awe-inspiring 2025 Grand Voyage visiting scenic coastlines and islands in abundance, offering opportunities to explore Barcelona’s Sagrada Familia, Istanbul’s Topkapi Palace, Lake Bled, and the picturesque Amalfi Coast and Greek islands. For a more focused adventure, you can embark on one of our Mediterranean fly cruises, flying from London or Manchester into the heart of the destination, so you can begin exploring straight away.

Meanwhile, in early 2026, Borealis will set sail to South America and the Antarctic on an epic journey of exploration, where you can see penguins in the Falkland Islands, experience the Rio Carnival at the Sambadrome, and discover the awe-inspiring Chilean fjords; while later in 2026, Balmoral will sail to iconic spots like Istanbul, Athens, and Valletta, alongside hidden gems like Marmaris and Syros, with extended stays in Limassol and Crete. You will also be able to enjoy scenic cruising through the Bay of Kotor, Amalfi Coast and Strait of Messina.

New for 2027, Borealis’ World Cruise promises unforgettable moments, Japan’s plum blossoms, Hawaii’s volcanic landscapes, Singapore’s futuristic Gardens by the Bay, South Africa’s ‘Big Five’, and whale watching in the Caribbean. By securing your place on this epic cruise within the first four weeks of its release, you can benefit from our Freedom Fare Price Promise. If your cruise price is later reduced, we’ll automatically upgrade your cabin or gift you On-Board Spend, so you can rest assured that by booking early, you’ll be getting the best value on your Freedom Fare. And for Solo Travellers, we have ensured that our Single Cabin prices will be the same as their equivalent twin fare per person when booked in this period.
