Creator's Key Takeaways
smaller is better and we believe in keeping the experience on board uncrowded warm and civilized
the journey is as important as the destination
both boleta and borealis are still smaller ships each carrying less than 1400 guests and that means that the atmosphere on board is always friendly and warm
great food is something that we're really passionate about and it's a big reason that more guests come back to fred olsen than any other cruise line

Come and take a tour of Fred Olsen Line Borealis and Bolette. Two gorgeous ships that offer an alternative way to set sail. If you would like to book a Fred Olsen Cruise, please visit our website:- www.magical-traveller.com Fred Olsen prides itself on The Olsen Way, 10 Principles that define them and make them different from the other cruise lines. 1. WE ARE PROUD TO SAIL OUR OWN COURSE We are free to do things a different way because we are family-run. Of course some people enjoy the bigger, busier cruises, but it is not for everyone, and it is not for us. We prefer to do things, 'The Olsen Way'. 2. SMALLER IS BETTER We have fewer guests, so the atmosphere on board our ships is always warm and civilised. Our smaller ships allow us to visit the more interesting places that the world has to offer. 3. HAND-CRAFTED, NOT MASS PRODUCED We pride ourselves on putting our all into the Fred. Olsen cruise experience. Our itineraries are created from scratch every year, our service is genuinely personal and each and every area of our ships is designed by hand. 4. IT'S ALL ABOUT THE PEOPLE. ALL OF IT. EVERYTHING There are certain things that can only happen when people put genuine care and positivity into what they do. We believe that you can have all the equipment in the world, but in the end, it all comes down to the people. 5. WE ARE TRAVELLERS MORE THAN TOURISTS Our way is about creating experiences that attract like-minded travel enthusiasts, people as excited to engage with the wonders of the world as we are. 6. WE BELIEVE IN THE JOY OF THE JOURNEY We believe the purpose of a cruise is to experience the wonders of the world, by always looking out, not facing in. 7. MARITIME IS IN OUR DNA The Olsen family has been sailing for nearly 200 years and we will never lose sight of our love for the sea. That's why we will always choose to sail ships that look like ships rather than hotels or holiday resorts. 8. WE TRAVEL RESPECTFULLY We have great respect for the natural world and the diverse cultures of the places we visit. We run smaller ships, so we travel lightly rather than overwhelm the beauty or local people of our destinations. 9. WE DESIGN EVERYTHING WITH ELEGANCE, SIMPLICITY, AND ATTENTION TO DETAIL Linen, not cotton. Leather, not plastic; our focus is always on quality, and our ships are genuinely loved by us, with every detail closely considered and constantly reviewed. 10. "I DET BESTE SELSKAP", IN THE BEST OF COMPANY There's a phrase in our native Norwegian, 'I det beste selskap' which means, 'in the best of company'. Our guests are like-minded, our crew genuinely friendly and we are very proud to say that, as a result of all this, we have more returning guests than any other cruise line.
