Fred Olsen itinerary changes

Braemar will now offer cruises from Dover to northern Europe, Iceland, the Baltic and the Mediterranean following its return from the Caribbean in early May 2009, rather than using the Italian port of Civitavecchia as a base. Boudicca’s programme changes in December 2009 when the original Caribbean fly/cruises from Barbados will be replaced with a number of cruises leaving from Portsmouth until after Christmas, when the ship relocates to Southampton. A spokesman said, ‘… with the dramatic increase in fuel prices we have taken the decision to offer a most cost-effective programme. This also gives us the opportunity to further widen the choice of ex UK cruises for our traditional clientele.’
