All in all this was a very good cruise. I would certainly recommend Fred Olsen Cruises, particularly for more mature travellers. The staff were all exceptional. There were plenty of onboard activities in which to participate during the day and a variety of entertainers in the evening. The ports of call were as expected with plenty of diverse excursions on offer.
