Rivers with Fred!

So yesterday was the launch of the new Fred Olsen River cruises.  Fred Olsen have staggered this launch so 24th May to Ocean members who are Diamond Elite, Platinum & Gold .  25th May to Ocean Silver members and the 26th May for general sale.   The ship Brabant is brand new to Fred Olsen and the river cruises will run from April 2018 to October 2018.  Fred. Olsen sailings of the Rhine, Danube, Moselle & Main rivers in the style and friendly atmosphere of Brabant.  The Brabant was built in 2006, the stylish, comfortable vessel has everything you need to make your river cruise memorable.  It has ample of deck space and well equipped bedrooms.  It has four decks and less than 80 rooms and suites.  The Brabant is a bit smaller then many river cruise boats so you will get the same Fred Olsen approach on board.  The 150 guests will have a personal and intimate experience.  The Brabant will moor as close to the heart of the city, town etc that it can.

So what will be included with the new Brabant

• Comfortable en suite accommodation with flat-screen TV, hairdryer, safe and individually controlled air conditioning
• Gourmet dining every day throughout the cruise – with ‘early riser’ breakfast, breakfast buffet, casual lunch, five-course à la carte dinner and late-night snacks
• Complimentary tea & coffee station 24 hours a day
• Complimentary afternoon tea & coffee with sandwiches and cakes
• Welcome Cocktail, Welcome Dinner and Captain’s Gala Dinner
• Complimentary wi-fi
• Use of leisure facilities including Fitness Room and wellness tub
• Lounge music by pianist or duo every day
• All local taxes and port charges (where collectable in advance)

The ship will operate a good selection of river cruises from 5 night cruises to a 25 night sailing.  The itineraries really will appeal to a wide selection of passengers.

The ship has standard window cabins as well as Juliette balcony cabins and Juliette balcony suites.

already these sailings are booking up well and I am sure they will go down very well with Fred Olsen passengers and also new passengers.
