Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines will now hold its third fleet reunion in Lisbon, Portugal in October 2021, after the ‘Four Fred.s in Funchal’ event in Madeira, Portugal was cancelled due to the Covid-19 outbreak.
Three of Fred. Olsen’s four ocean ships – Boudicca, Black Watch and Braemar – were already scheduled to call in Lisbon on 22 October, while a fourth itinerary has been created to bring Balmoral to the Portuguese capital on the same day.
“Of course, it is disappointing that our ‘Four Fred.s in Funchal’ event was unable to go ahead,” said Clare Ward, director of product and customer service at Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines. “But these fleet-wide get-togethers are years in the making, and none of us could have predicted the challenging situation we have all found ourselves in today. It is hugely exciting to be able to confirm a new date and destination for our fleet reunion so quickly, as I know so many of our guests were looking forward to being reunited with friends and crew members that they have met on their travels with us.”
