Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines has today unveiled the first reunion of its new-look fleet, with all four of its smaller ships to come together in Funchal, Madeira, in November 2023. 

It will be the third fleet reunion to be held by the cruise line, and will see the four ships, Bolette, Borealis, Balmoral and Braemar, set sail on four separate cruises, hand-crafted specially to allow them to come together at the garden island of Madeira for the Fleet in Funchal celebration.

The occasion will be marked with a quayside fiesta, and the cruise line plans offer guests the chance to explore the rest of the fleet while they are in port. 

Guests looking to join the celebration can enjoy £200 per person to spend on board, or £400 when booking a suite.

Peter Deer, Managing Director at Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines, said:

“This is set to be an incredible day in our history, as it will be the first time that our new-look fleet will be in port together since we set sail again last summer – and what better way to mark it than with a celebration with our guests?

“Our teams here are already busy curating a programme of events, and will be working very closely with the team in the Port of Funchal to ensure it is a truly memorable day for all. 

“Of course, while our Fleet in Funchal event will undoubtedly be a highlight, each ship will be embarking on its own adventure, offering guests the chance to enjoy warmer climates during the British winter. 

“Whether you would like to island hop to discover many of the Canary Islands, experience the diverse nature of the Azores, immerse yourself in the Moroccan culture or explore many historical sites of Spain and Portugal, there will be plenty to delight your inner explorer in the days leading up to our special celebration.”
