Fred Olsen have just jumped on the environmentally-friendly trend and is making the move to reduce single-use plastics.
The cruise line introduces to you…Refill!
Brought to you by City to Sea, Refill is the award-winning campaign with over 20,000 water refilling stations across the UK.
This makes it so much easier to top up your reusable water bottle instead of buying a plastic one.
In light of National Refill Day, Fred Olsen want passengers and fans to join their genuine efforts to protect the beautiful places we live in and adore to travel to!
The line have even installed water refilling stations across their ships so by bringing your reusable bottle with you on your cruise, you’ll help to prevent plastic pollution from flowing into rivers, seas and oceans.
