Rock The Boat with 'Rocking Dave' on A Fred. Olsen Canary Islands Cruise

Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines is delighted to offer Elvis fans a chance to rock to the sounds of ‘The King’ with top Elvis tribute act, Rocking Dave, who is headlining on Boudicca’s 14-night ‘Canary Islands’ cruise, D1101, departing from Southampton on 16th January 2011.

As part of Fred. Olsen’s popular ‘Music and Laughter’ variety show programme on selected 2011 cruises, ‘Elvis’ will be rocking the boat during this fortnight-long celebration of ‘The King of Rock and Roll’. Rocking Dave will be performing three separate shows paying tribute to key periods in The King’s life – the 1950s, Movies and the 1960s, and the ‘Las Vegas Years’. Return to an era of pure, unashamed entertainment with this unmissable act, who will be performing much-loved classics like ‘His Latest Flame’, ‘Suspicious Minds, and ‘Return to Sender’, to name just a few.
From Southampton, this winter sunshine cruise around ‘The Fortunate Islands’ calls at Leixoes (for Oporto), Arrecife, Santa Cruz de Tenerife, San Sebastian de la Gomera, Santa Cruz de La Palma, Funchal and Vigo, before returning to Southampton.

Prices for this cruise start from £1,279 per person, based on two adults sharing an outside twin cabin, grade ‘E’. The 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.
