What is an occasional cruiser?


An occasional cruiser is someone who has dipped their toe into the world of cruising but has perhaps not been on as many voyages as an experienced cruiser.

As an occasional cruiser, you’ll know the many benefits of booking a cruise holiday. Cruising represents fantastic value for money, it’s one of the most convenient ways to see the world and it can take you to parts of the world you might not have ever considered. What’s not to love?


Destination highlights

The three sunkissed cruise destinations that almost every cruiser wants to visit are; the Mediterranean, the Caribbean and South America. Close to home but a world away from dreary British weather, the Mediterranean can boast some of the globes best beaches, liveliest nightlife and finest al fresco dining, all set beneath blazing golden sun and endless blue skies.

If you fancy going further afield, the Caribbean offers a warm welcome in every sense of the phrase. It’s not just the weather that’s delightful, friendly locals will have a smile and a greeting for you wherever you go. Whether your cruise takes you to charming yet cosmopolitan capitals replete with unspoilt colonial architecture or isolated beach resorts, there will be plenty to see, do and buy. That’s if you can tear yourself away from the magnificent sunbathing spots.

South America - a continent of incredible contrasts - offers everything from golden beaches to snow-capped peaks, gleaming cities with Parisian elegance to shanty towns where shacks cluster in an amazing array of vivid colours and crazy angles. Every day brings new discoveries and different experiences as this mysterious continent unfolds its exotic delights for your delectation.


Cruise lines perfect for occasional cruisers

Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines is the perfect option for those wanting a home-away-from-home feel.
