Looking for a cruise holiday with a difference? Ever wanted to help create your perfect cruise itinerary? Well now you can!
Fred Olsen Cruise Lines have created an innovative 14 night ‘You Choose Your Cruise’ sailing of the Baltic departing from Southampton on 29th May 2018. Guests aboard Braemar this Spring will get the chance to ‘steer the ship’ by having a hand in deciding the ports of call during the cruise.
On this unique ‘cruise with a twist’, guests vote between two ports of call as the ships sails, keeping each destination a mystery until the winning destinations are announced.
Each guest gets to vote on their preferred destination, the ballots are then counted and the result is delivered to the Captain, who announces the winning choice. There are just two highlights that have been confirmed in advance: an overnight stay in St. Petersburg, Russia and a sailing of the Kiel Canal, the rest of the ports of call will be decided by the voting guests!
Justin Stanton, Sales and Marketing Director for Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines, said:
“The atmosphere is electric each voting day, and this exciting two-week cruise puts guests firmly in command! ‘You Choose Your Cruise’ creates a holiday made especially for those who love mystery, adventure and the smaller-ship atmosphere of a Fred. Olsen cruise.”
Braemar’s 14-night ‘You Choose Your Cruise – Baltic’ sailing (adult-only), sails from Southampton on 29th May 2018 on the following itinerary.
Southampton, UK – Amsterdam or Rotterdam, The Netherlands – Copenhagen or Hundested, Denmark – Tallinn or Saaremaa, Estonia – St. Petersburg, Russia (overnight stay) – Helsinki or Kotka, Finland – Wismar or Travemünde, Germany – Southampton, UK
Do you think would it make for a more exciting trip if the destinations were only revealed during the cruise, or do you think it may lead to some very disappointed guests?
Personally I think it’s a great idea, let me know your thoughts.
Bye for now.
