Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines Sees in the New Year with "Cruise Sale 2013" Campaign
Ipswich, United Kingdom, January 04, 2013 --(PR.com)-- Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines is celebrating the New Year by launching a brochure of selected cruises with substantial discounts. The ‘Cruise Sale 2013’ brochure features 55 cruises, with departures on all four ships across the Fred. Olsen fleet – Balmoral, Braemar, Boudicca and Black Watch – between March and December 2013. There will be savings of up to 25% on selected ‘Inside’ cabins, and 20% on selected ‘Outside’ cabins. In additions to these savings, selected cruises will also offer free onboard spending credit of up to £150 per cabin. These special offers apply to bookings on any cruise featured in the brochure made up to 28th February 2013.
Guests who have already booked on any Fred. Olsen cruises featured in the ‘Cruise Sale 2013’ campaign will be reimbursed for the difference paid, where applicable under the terms of the ‘Fred. Olsen Price Pledge’. The cruise line will proactively contact those guests impacted, or their travel agents, to advise them about the ‘Cruise Sale 2013’ promotion, so there is no reason for them to call in, as their cabin will be upgraded automatically before they depart.
Nathan Philpot, Sales and Marketing Director for Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines, said:
