Fred. Olsen cancels cruises until end of June
Fred. Olsen has cancelled all cruises until the end of June due to the current travel restrictions in England.
The cruise line had been due to resume sailing on 22 May but today’s announcement means that a further 14 cruises will be cancelled.
All guests affected by the latest cancellations will be given a number of options, including a refund or an additional future cruise credit, said Fred. Olsen.
Managing Director Peter Deer added: "We are constantly reviewing our back in service dates in line with the latest Government guidance, and working closely with CLIA and other industry bodies towards a return to sailing.
"This extra time allows us the opportunity to fully understand how the roll-out in the vaccine affects the procedures we operate on board and ashore.
"We know that our guests are missing cruising, as indeed are we, and we can’t wait to welcome them all back on board when the time is right."
