Fred. Olsen to Start River Cruise Line

Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines has announced the launch of its new dedicated cruise programme by river boat.

Fred. Olsen River Cruises is now offering European river cruise holidays, between 5th April and 3rd November 2018, on board 156-guest river boat, Brabant, to go on general sale from 26th May 2017. The company will be operating its new river cruise programme – taking in some of Europe’s most beautiful rivers, including the Danube, Rhine, Main and Moselle – on a total of 30 departures in 2018, on durations ranging from five to 25 nights, complemented by a selection of high-quality chargeable shore excursions, designed to enhance guests’ experience of the destination.

Built in 2006, 110-metre-long Brabant is a stylish and comfortable river cruise boat, and has everything that guests will need to make their holiday a memorable one: from bright and spacious public areas, to well-equipped bedrooms and ample deck space, from which to enjoy the superb views. With just four decks and fewer than 80 rooms and suites, staffed by 40 crew members, Brabanthas the intimate and friendly feel that Fred. Olsen’s guests know and love.

Working on River Cruise Ships

River cruise ships are smaller than ocean-going cruise liners. There are fewer crew members and their job descriptions are usually broader than on large cruise ships with hundreds (or thousands) of crew members. Find out more about how to apply for river cruise jobs.
