Fred Olsen Cruise Lines has launched a new behind-the-scenes tour on board its fleet of three smaller-sized ships Bolette, Borealis and Balmoral.
As part of the new offering, guests can see the inner workings of the ships by venturing into the Galley to see how the chefs prepare delicious meals, learn what it takes to manage the stores and laundry room and enjoy visits to the Engine Control Room and the Bridge.
James Moss, Itinerary Product Manager at Fred Olsen Cruise Lines, said:
“We’re thrilled to be able to offer our guests these brand-new tours which will help them uncover the secrets and challenges of running a cruise ship.
“They’ll be able to discover the volume of food needed to feed both guests and crew as well as meet and speak to our dedicated crew members who are at the heart of what makes sailing with us so special, while gaining an insight into life on board.
“We have limited the spaces on the tours to just 12 guests to ensure it is an enjoyable, immersive experience and they really get to know what it’s like running a cruise ship day-to-day.”
The tours are to enhance Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines’ Signature Experience, The Ship and Sea, which aims to give guests an insight into the company’s 175 years of maritime heritage.
The behind-the-scenes tours cost £49 per person and include a keepsake lanyard and professional photo.
