FRED. OLSEN CRUISE LINES
Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines are proud of the smaller size of their ships, which allows them to offer exceptional, hand-crafted itineraries, rich in culture and with real experiences in the destinations they visit, making them the perfect pairing with The Arts Society.
As a family-run cruise line, Fred. Olsen really take your experience personally. While the rest of the cruise industry has gone for bigger ships, Fred. Olsen has always believed that smaller is better. They have less guests on board so the service is personal and the atmosphere is warm and civilised. Their elegant, smaller ships Bolette, Borealis & Balmoral, can reach places the bigger ships cannot and are able to dock at smaller ports in more interesting places such as scenic cruising in the Norwegian Fjords, & narrow size restricted waterways in the heart of fascinating cities. This passion for cruising has led to them having more returning guests than any other cruise line.
Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines has a small team of specialist itinerary planners who are passionate about travel, who take great pride in hand-crafting each journey, to ensure they show their guests a mixture of both popular ports, and hidden gems as well as including Olsen Way highlights on each of their sailings. It is a passion that has won them the Cruise Critic award for Best Itineraries every year since 2015.
With Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines, you can sail from the convenience of regional UK ports to hundreds of destinations around the world on their elegant, smaller-sized ships, with sailings available from Southhampton, Portsmouth, Newcastle, Liverpool, Dover and Rosyth (Edinburgh).
We are excited to announce the launch of our brand new cruises for 2024/2025. Our imaginative and unusual itineraries have been carefully crafted by our Journey Planners with the travel enthusiast in mind. From specially-timed sailings to experience incredible events - such as the Perseid Meteor Shower, seeking out the mesmerising Northern Lights, or uncovering the Adriatic and the Mediterranean's vibrant culture and ancient history.
Arts Society members can benefit from up to 10% discount off of all cruises, terms & conditions apply.

TRAVEL EDITIONS
Travel Editions was set up in 1994 with the clear intention of offering a range of cultural short breaks and extended tours which would appeal to ‘travellers’ not ‘tourists’ and whose itineraries were not readily available on the high street – the legion of loyal customers who travel with us year after year shows that this philosophy is succeeding!
Travel Editions are proud to be an Arts Society Travel Affiliate and Arts Society members have been travelling with us for many years, we have also been privileged to arrange tours with numerous Arts Society groups since 1994. Arts Society Accredited Lecturers have worked with us from that time too.
As the years have passed, our range of tours has developed and diversified. We now have more than 180 Escorted Tours to over 200 destinations in the UK, Europe and further afield to choose from, with a Cultural and Arts & History programme, Botany, Walking, Culinary and so much more, a truly eclectic mix! There’s the opportunity to benefit from unique visits too, places and people that are not normally available to tourists; all adding depth to your trip. These are group tours with the benefit of outstanding expert lecturers/guides, so that whatever your interest, you’ll be taken on a truly immersive experience, whilst staying at good hotels.
