27th November 2019 – A 28-night Arctic exploration in August 2021, taking in the natural wonders of Greenland, Iceland and northern Norway, is the latest eagerly-awaited itinerary to be previewed from Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines’ 2021/22 ocean programme, ahead of its full unveiling in March next year. This spectacular ‘Midnight Sun & Northern Lights’ scenic cruise will give guests the chance to divert away from the ‘beaten tourist track’ and catch the last of the breath-taking ‘Midnight Sun’, with early glimmers of the ‘Northern Lights’ in Iceland.
On this incredible nature-lovers’ getaway, there is also the chance to marvel at the stunning fjords, tumbling waterfalls and picturesque villages of Norway, as well as the opportunity to go whale-watching in Iceland, explore remote Svalbard – the world’s most northerly town – and take in the panoramic views and dramatic landscapes of rugged Greenland.
Jackie Martin, Marketing and Sales Director at Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines, said:
“We are very excited to be releasing this itinerary early from our 2021/22 programme, giving a taste of the many Fred. Olsen adventures to come. This exceptional experience has been timed especially to enable guests to enjoy the spectacular ‘Midnight Sun’, along with the first sightings of the ‘Aurora Borealis’ in Iceland, together with unrivalled scenery and endless opportunities to spot marine and land wildlife in their native habitats.
“As with all ventures of this kind, we will need nature to be on our side – but we are passionate about giving our guests outstanding itineraries and creating memories to last a lifetime, and we are sure that this sailing will not disappoint.”
