These are leisurely, indulgent, unhurried - the way travel used to be, before it was simply a matter of getting there in the shortest possible time. On a Grand Voyage you can visit the most wonderfully exotic destinations, explore new cities, meet new people. And then relax during days at sea, reflecting on the ports you recently left, anticipating with excitement the destinations still to be seen.You have the opportunity to take a World Cruise on Black Watch in 2012, or on Balmoral in 2013. The itineraries are different, but both pass through the Panama and Suez Canals, both include calls in the South Pacific, Australia, Asia and the Middle East: both are the ultimate in circumnavigating the globe. Saint Maarten and Tahiti, Sydney and Singapore, Gibraltar and the Great Barrier Reef - these cruises really do see the world.Balmoral's 2012 Grand Voyage is to the New World, taking in a trip around South America, both coasts of Central America and the southeast United States: from Rio de Janeiro's Samba rhythms to the jazz of New Orleans, from the stark beauty of Cape Horn to the rich forests of the Amazon. In 2013, Black Watch takes on a new exploration of the Indian Ocean, rounding the Cape of Good Hope on the outward journey - including visits to four great destinations in South Africa - and onwards to India, the Arabian Gulf, the Suez Canal. so many places, such an exciting voyage. Adding to your enjoyment is the very human scale of our ships. Big enough to provide everything the discerning traveller needs, they are nothing like the vast impersonal edifices that many modern cruise liners have become. Instead, they are more like a country house hotel: stylish, charming and totally relaxed. Fred. Olsen Grand Voyages are a tradition for many people, who choose to repeat the experience over and over again. However if you cannot yet spare the time to indulge yourself in a cruise that takes several months, you can still enjoy this very special experience by joining and leaving a voyage at ports along the way. You could also stay for a few days before or after your cruise to extend the adventure, with optional Grand Tours available to help you get the most from your stay. For even more flexibility, you can also choose to book just the cruise and arrange flights and other details yourself, should you prefer.See the world from a different perspective: cruise in style and comfort on a Fred.
