Hi again everyone!
I can’t believe that we’re nearing the end of the summer months already... where is time going?
Looking back, it’s been such an exciting season for Rosyth, with Balmoral having taken guests to the rugged shores of Iceland and sailed the scenic waterways of France. But as one door closes, another always opens and while Rosyth’s season is now finishing, I’m already excited for next year’s sailings from Scotland. In 2023, there’ll be chances to discover the traditions of Spain and Portugal, join ORCA’s Cruise Conservationists for a trip to witness the midnight sun in Spitsbergen or, of course, experience the summertime Norwegian fjords in just five nights.
For guests looking to get away a little sooner, there are some fabulous sailings from Liverpool this autumn and winter, including going in search of the Northern Lights in November with a chance to get a taste of life for the native Sami community in Alta, or enjoying some festive winter warmth by spending Christmas in the Canaries.
And on the other side of the festive season, I’m incredibly excited for early next year, when Balmoral will be setting sail on an incredible 78-night exploration of South America and for the first time ever in Fred. Olsen’s history - the Antarctic! It will be such an incredible journey and to have the war veteran Simon Weston on board for the Falklands leg of the journey will be a fantastic experience for our guests.
Those looking for shorter journeys can enjoy wonderful hand- crafted itineraries, with two new journeys going in search of the Northern Lights from Newcastle in March on board one
of our newest ships Bolette, with her faster cruising speeds allowing us to offer guests this adventure in just 􏰀-nights!
Plus, we’re offering guests free drinks or door-to-door transfers included on selected 2023 sailings if booked before 􏰁􏰂st October. You can find all the details on this over on our Travel Agent Centre.
Until next time folks – take care and happy selling!
