Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines’ 880-guest ship Boudicca is to offer 11 voyages from the UK port of Liverpool in the 2014-2015 season.
Boudicca began her second season sailing from Liverpool’s Pier Head Cruise Terminal with an eight-night voyage to the Norwegian fjords. On 7 July, the ship departed on a 14-night adventure cruise to Greenland and Iceland. Other 2014 itinerary highlights include a 16-night ‘In search of the Northern Lights’ voyage to Norway in November and a two-night cruise to Dublin, Ireland, in December.
“It is great to be back in Liverpool for our second cruise season on Boudicca, one of the most popular ships in our fleet,” said Nathan Philpot, sales and marketing director for Fred. Olsen. “We were very encouraged by the commitment shown by our loyal guests in the Merseyside region last year, and we are offering even more cruises from this vibrant city in 2014. With its stunning vistas and proud maritime heritage, there is something very special about cruising from Liverpool, and it is a tremendous benefit to be able to offer our guests the chance to set sail from the world-famous Pier Head.”
Boudicca’s 2014 cruise season in Liverpool will be interspersed with two calls in Belfast, Northern Ireland, in August and two in the Scottish port of Greenock in September
For the first time this year, Fred. Olsen ships will also sail from Avonmouth in Bristol and Belfast, enabling the line to offer guests a choice of ten departure ports around the UK.
