Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines is inviting adventurers to relive history on its ship Braemar, as it transits the Corinth Canal in May 2023.
In 2019 Braemar made history when she became the largest ship to ever traverse the 6.4-kilometre-long Corinth Canal in Greece, which is just 24-metres wide at its narrowest point. The ship is 22.52-metre-wide.
The sell-out sailing also broke a second record when it became Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines’ highest rated cruise for itinerary satisfaction based on feedback from guests on board.
Clare Ward, Director of Product and Customer Service at Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines, said, “Our Journey Planners work hard to craft every cruise with the joy of the journey in mind, but this cruise offers a sailing experience like no other.
“Here, Braemar will showcase exactly what we mean when we say ‘smaller is better’, embarking on another record-breaking sailing of the Corinth Canal.
“While the canal transit will undoubtedly be a highlight, this cruise delivers a host of unforgettable experiences. Explorations ashore will uncover the impressive sandstone architecture and the imposing Palace of the Grand Masters in Rhodes, the Roman Odeum in Patras, and the chance to explore the site of Ancient Olympia, to name just some of the memorable experiences.”
Braemar’s 25-night M2311 ‘Corinth Canal and Greek Islands’ cruise will depart from Southampton on 3nd May 2023. Prices start from £4,999 per person. Ports of call include Malaga, Sicily, Rhodes, Crete, Ibiza, Cartagena and Lisbon.
Prices shown are based on two adults sharing an interior cabin, and include accommodation, all meals and entertainment.
