Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines Encourages Guests to Deposit Now – Decide Later!"

East, United Kingdom, September 16, 2012 --(PR.com)-- Many guests take advantage of Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines’ future cruise booking service on board its four cruise ships – Balmoral, Braemar, Boudicca and Black Watch – and decide to secure their next cruise before they return home. However, for those guests who cannot choose which cruise they would like to take next, Fred. Olsen is launching the "Future Cruise Deposit Installment Scheme," so that guests can still be rewarded for booking whilst on board. By paying a non-refundable deposit installment of £100 per cabin whilst on board (to be charged to guests’ onboard cabin accounts), guests can benefit from onboard spending credit of up to £300 per cabin on their next Fred. Olsen cruise, depending upon the length of their cruise*.

Nathan Philpot, Sales and Marketing Director for Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines, said:

“We know that, with so many tempting Fred. Olsen cruises to choose from, it is often hard for our guests to pick their next one whilst enjoying their current holiday with us. That is why we have introduced the new ‘Future Cruise Deposit Instalment Scheme’, so that guests can pay a deposit of £100 to secure their future Fred. Olsen cruise, and have the convenience of deciding which exciting itinerary is right for them at a later date, together with the added bonus of up to £300 of onboard spending credit once they book.”

Guests will have up to 12 months from the date of making the deposit instalment payment to decide which cruise they wish to book. When guests are ready, they simply contact Fred. Olsen’s Reservations Department or their preferred travel agent and confirm their next Fred. Olsen cruise. The cruise line will then add the free onboard spend to guests’ bookings – and the deposit they have paid onboard will form part of the deposit for their chosen cruise.

If guests would like to take advantage of this exclusive offer available only whilst on board a Fred. Olsen cruise, they should speak to the Future Cruise Sales Manager, who will be happy to help them and highlight the wide range of enticing itineraries and destinations on offer across the Fred. Olsen fleet of smaller, more traditional cruise ships.
