Fred. Olsen Cruises

Dining onboard with Fred Olsen offers a great variety, designed to suit your needs and mood. Whether you're looking for a casual buffet, waiter service or dishes delivered directly to your room, the experienced team of chefs onboard are dedicated to bringing guests some of the best dining at sea.

Included Dining

• Casual Dining- offered throughout the day onboard Fred Olsen's ships, the buffet offers casual, open seated dining where guests can enjoy dishes from around the world at breakfast, lunch and dinner.
• Main Dining Rooms- the main dining rooms offer an elegant, traditional feel, as well as the comfort of dining at the same time and table throughout your cruise, alongside fabulous cuisine and impeccable service. Whether dressed for a less-formal evening, or enjoying a black-tie gala night, the restaurants ooze the quintessential charm of a British run cruise line. Each ship in the fleet offers at least two dining rooms, where you can enjoy wonderfully served breakfast, long lunches and elegant evenings throughout your cruise.

Speciality dining

If you want to try something different from the main dining rooms during your cruise, each ship has a speciality dining venue, The Grill, where mouthwatering steaks and tempting desserts are served in an elegant setting.

Afternoon Tea

One of Fred Olsen's most popular treats, available at a small additional cost, is the Afternoon Tea. Head to the Observatory Lounge, where classical musicians add to the ambience, while being served a selection of premium teas, from Taylor of Harrogate, along with finger sandwiches, fresh scones and pastries.

Every night Fred. Olsen Cruises provide lively and diverse onboard entertainment, ensuring an evening to remember:

• Live music, cabaret and stand-up comedy in the main show lounge
• Have a dance to the resident band, with dance hosts on hand should you need them

Alternatively, if your idea of a memorable evening is something a little more laid-back, have a drink and make new friends in the cosy onboard bars and lounges.

Olsen Cruises depart from the UK, from the departure ports of Southampton, Dover, Liverpool, Newcastle, Rosyth on Med cruises, Canary Island cruises, Scandinavia cruises and Baltic and Fjords cruises.
