Fred. Olsen Posts Its Best Ever Sales Day After Opening 2028 Cruises
Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines says its 2028 program launch brought its strongest trading day yet, with 39 added cruises sailing from four UK ports.
Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines reports that the launch of its 2028 cruise program led to the best single trading day in the company's history. This is the second time this year the line has beaten its own record.
General bookings opened on Oct. 7. A week earlier, the line had shown the collection to the public. It also released an early cruise called Scenic Highlights of Canada, which sold out in under two weeks.
The earlier record came in July.
According to Travel and Tour World, the new program adds 39 cruises. It mixes sailings that start in the UK with fly-cruise holidays on the line's smaller ships. The company said booking volumes were high all day, but it did not share sales values or the number of bookings.
What it means for travelers
Strong early demand suggests that popular 2028 sailings may fill up fast. Travelers who want a certain ship, route or cabin may have fewer choices if they wait. Sailings from UK ports can also help travelers who prefer not to fly to their ship.
