Press release -

Cruise to the Canaries and Christmas Shop in the Sunshine with Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines

Balmoral L1021 14-nights Canaries cruise  7th December

Make a last-minute getaway, and avoid the crowds in the high street – you could be doing your Christmas shopping in the warm and sunny Canary Islands, while enjoying a pre-Christmas cruise. 

Fred. Olsen’s Balmoral has a 14-night cruise to the Canaries, departing from Southampton on 7th December 2010.  First port of call is evocative Casablanca in Morocco – from here, there are excursions to amazing Marrakech, where you can shop for some great ceramics, jewellery and other gifts in the bustling markets.  Then, it is on to the islands of Lanzarote, Gran Canaria, Tenerife, La Palma and, finally, the garden island of Madeira, before returning to Southampton. Enjoy the pleasant climate, and explore the white-washed, cobbled villages, and the majestic, volcanic landscape of these delightful islands. The rest and relaxation will put you in great form for the festivities, when you return.

Prices for this relaxing cruise now start from just £729 per person, with a Latesaver deal, based on two adults sharing an inside twin cabin. This price includes all meals and entertainment on board, and port taxes.

Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines

At Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines we are very proud of our smaller ships – Bolette, Borealis and Balmoral - and the imaginative and unusual itineraries they allow us to offer. Every cruise is hand-crafted from scratch by our team of in-house Journey Planners to make sure you are not only visiting the best destinations, but at the best time to experience them.

For us, it’s not just about where we go but how we take you there. We put as much time into planning scenic cruising as we do in choosing the destinations themselves. On board, our Signature Experiences showcase the history, culture, nature and flavours of the destinations you’ll visit – from Treats of the Region, where you can enjoy local delicacies, to our Sky at Sea star-gazing sessions where you can relax with a hot toddy out on deck while our astronomer talks you through the night sky.

Plus, with each ship carrying 1,300 guests or less, our ships are small enough for us to offer a warm, friendly and personal service where nothing is ever too much trouble, as we visit a host of exciting ports in every corner of the globe.
