Best Bits
Atlantis Spa
We had the most amazing time getting a 75-minute hot stone back massage onboard. It was hands down one of the best treats we've enjoyed at sea, and at just £98 per person, it was a steal!
British Afternoon Tea
Enjoy a delightful British afternoon tea experience on board! Indulge in a variety of sandwiches, warm scones, and scrumptious cakes, all paired with your favorite teas and coffees. And if you're feeling fancy, why not add a bit of bubbly to your celebration!
Specialty Dining
We experienced two exceptional dining experiences at the specialty restaurants Colours & Tastes and Vasco on board. Vasco, in particular, offered a fantastic selection of Goan dishes and the service was top-notch.
How do you like your eggs?
Dont miss breakfast or lunch at the poolside cafe. The atmosphere is relaxed and breakfast is served beyond other venues.
All Dressed Up
Fred Olsen is a traditional cruise line with traditional attitudes about dressing for dinner. Expect to be assigned to an early or late sitting and you may be seated with others for the duration of your voyage.
