Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines Launches 'All-Inclusive' Cruises for 2013

[mercedes]

As an additional attraction on its new programme of exotic fly-cruises to the Canary Islands, West Africa and the Cape Verde Islands in spring 2013, Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines has designated four of these Braemar departures as 'all-inclusive,' so that drinks – house wines and spirits, beers and soft drinks – will be included in the price. Guests who have already booked these cruises will be upgraded to the 'all-inclusive' package automatically; the offer is valid on bookings made up to and including 31st July 2012.

The price of a Fred. Olsen fly-cruise already covers return flights to Tenerife from London Gatwick or Manchester, with the exclusive aircraft charter, transfers and onboard accommodation, plus all meals, entertainment and port/airport taxes. The Fred. Olsen 'all-inclusive' offer extends to drinks on board the ship only, and guests will be responsible for their own gratuities and any additional spending on board the ship, such as spa treatments and purchases from the onboard shops

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

"We know that many of our guests are on a tight budget in these difficult times, and we are delighted that we can offer this very generous inclusive price for four of our exciting new fly-cruise itineraries – including 'African Beaches and Tropical Islands' and 'Morocco, Madeira and the Canaries' – which will be departing from London Gatwick and Manchester airports between 17th February and 17th March 2013.

"With this added drinks package, these cruises offer exceptional value for money and it will be easier for our guests to budget and allow more leeway for spending on other holiday extras, such as shore excursions. We would advise guests to book early to make sure that they can take advantage of these excellent deals!"
