Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines has launched a new fly-cruise training module on its online Academy. The course gives travel agents the knowledge and confidence to recommend and sell its fly-cruise holidays.
All details correct at the time of publication (9 November 2026).
Travel agents can access the course through the Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines Academy. This is the cruise line’s dedicated online training platform for trade partners.
Training for the 2027 Fly-Cruise Programme
The new module helps agents sell Fred. Olsen’s 2027 fly-cruise programme with confidence.
The programme sees Balmoral, the cruise line’s smallest ship, explore destinations across the Mediterranean. These include the Greek Islands, Italy, Croatia, and the French and Turkish Rivieras.
The course uses bite-sized modules to cover several key topics. Agents can learn about the benefits of fly-cruising with Fred. Olsen, what’s included in its holiday packages, and the destinations and experiences available throughout the 2027 programme.
Flight Options and Guest Benefits
The training also covers the flight options available to guests.
These include Fred. Olsen’s exclusive charter flights, which come with transfers and luggage allowances. Guests also have support throughout their journey.
Alternatively, cruise-only options give guests the flexibility to arrange their own travel.
Geoff Ridgeon on the New Training Module
Geoff Ridgeon, Head of Sales at Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines, said:
“We’re excited to introduce our new fly-cruise module to the Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines Academy.
“Our fly-cruise holidays offer a rewarding way to explore the Mediterranean, combining the convenience of flying directly into the heart of the destination with more time to enjoy the region’s rich culture, scenic coastlines and lingering warmth at a quieter time of year, alongside the more personal experience and access to lesser-visited, characterful ports that smaller-ship cruising offers.
“This new module brings all of this together in an engaging and accessible way, helping agents understand the unique appeal of our fly-cruise holidays, communicate these benefits to customers and sell the programme with confidence.”
Selected 2026 Fly-Cruise Sailings
There are also still opportunities for holidaymakers to enjoy some late-season sunshine in 2026.
Selected Fred. Olsen fly-cruise sailings visit destinations including Istanbul, Athens, Dubrovnik, Kotor and Trapani in Sicily. These offer an option for guests looking to escape the winter months.
How to Access the Training
Travel agents can access and complete the new fly-cruise training module through the Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines Academy.
