In all, Boudicca will be operating 24 different itineraries in its 2019/20 cruise season, from February 2019 through to March 2020. These include a special seven-night ‘D-Day 75th Anniversary Voyage’, in partnership with The Royal British Legion, departing from Dover on 2nd June 2019, exclusively for D-Day veterans and their carers, and an epic 168-night ‘Grand Voyage’, setting sail on 3rdOctober 2019 – the longest, most extensive sailing ever undertaken in Fred. Olsen’s history, with the chance to visit no fewer than 61 different ports, towns and cities right across the globe!

“When you cruise from Dover with Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines, aboard stylish, classic Boudicca, you are in for an unforgettable experience from the moment you set sail!

“Whichever itinerary you choose, Fred. Olsen is sure to have the ideal holiday for you, from the convenient and accessible Port of Dover.”
