A rewarding way to take your mind to new places. Vistas is the new name for Fred. Olsen’s cruise enhancement programme. It gives you the onboard opportunity to find out more about subjects that interest you – and all at no extra cost. And now Vistas promises to be an even more rewarding experience, with an expanded variety of practical talks and engaging lectures delivered by a selection of informed and entertaining speakers.
Take your new Vistas knowledge ashore
The Vistas programme will include the option to put your new-found skills and interests into practice on a planned shore excursion – each cruise will have one or two. For example, painting or photography enthusiasts may get the chance to visit an artist’s house or a particularly scenic site.
Themes Opens up a whole new world of knowledge and understanding. The range of experts onboard speakers will introduce you to some intriguing insights into all kinds of people, pastimes and pleasures.
The unique home-from-home environment of a Fred. Olsen cruise-ship puts people in a relaxed frame of mind and can bring out an interest thats been dormant for years. And even a few you never knew you had. That’s the beauty of the themes chosen for Vistas. They’re free to take part in and designed for you to dip into whenever the mood takes you, enabling you to rekindle or develop an interest.
