Friday, 27 June 20083 min read

Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines urged potential passengers looking to travel next year to book by July 1 to avoid a new fuel surcharge.

The new charge will be £4 per person per night for the first two passengers in a cabin, up to a maximum charge of £80 per cruise.

It will be £2 per person per night for third and fourth passengers in the cabin up to a maximum charge of £40 per person per cruise.

The supplement will apply to all new bookings on cruises featured in the line’s Worldwide 2009/2010 first edition brochure.

Cruises featured in a Worldwide 2008/2009 third edition brochure, are maintained at a supplement of £5 per person per night.

The new charge will be effective from July 1 and will apply to all new bookings.

“Potential customers are therefore urged to confirm their bookings before July 1 in order to avoid this increased charge,” the company said.
