…and the Sweet Bonus You’ll Enjoy Onboard
When you picture your perfect cruise, you’re probably imagining breath-taking destinations, beautifully prepared meals, peaceful sea days and that wonderful feeling of being completely looked after. With Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines, you get all of that - thoughtful service, smaller ships, hand‑crafted itineraries and a warm, traditional style of cruising that feels like coming home.
But when you book your Fred. Olsen sailing through Summit To Sea Travel, your holiday becomes even more special.
Here’s why.
Personalised Cruise Planning
Booking direct gives you a cabin. Booking with Summit To Sea Travel gives you a carefully curated experience.
We take the time to understand how you like to travel - whether you prefer quiet corners or lively lounges, scenic sea days or port‑packed adventures, early breakfasts or late‑night entertainment. Every recommendation is tailored to you, ensuring your cruise feels effortless from the moment you enquire.
Expert Knowledge From Real Cruise Experience
With extensive first‑hand cruising experience, I know the ships, the dining rooms, the cabin layouts, the ports and the little touches that make a sailing unforgettable. You’re not left guessing - you’re guided by someone who’s been there, seen it and knows exactly how to elevate your holiday.
Stress‑Free Planning and Dedicated Support
From dining reservations to cabin requests, excursion guidance to pre‑cruise admin, we handle the details so you can focus on the excitement. And if anything unexpected happens - a missed port, a cabin concern, a medical question - you have a real human advocate ready to step in and support you.
No call centres. No waiting on hold. Just genuine care.
Specialist Support for Dietary Needs, Allergies & Coeliac Disease
Travelling with dietary requirements can feel overwhelming - but not with Summit To Sea Travel, and certainly not with Fred. Olsen.
As specialists in coeliac disease, gluten‑free travel, allergies, dietary needs and hidden disabilities, we ensure your cruise is not only safe, but enjoyable and stress‑free.
Fred. Olsen’s onboard teams are exceptionally well‑trained in:
Coeliac‑safe food preparation
Avoiding cross‑contamination
Allergy‑aware dining
Tailored menus for gluten‑free, dairy‑free, nut‑free and other dietary needs
Quiet, discreet support for guests with hidden disabilities
From the moment you book, we communicate your needs clearly, follow up with the ship, and make sure everything is in place before you even step onboard. You’re not just another passenger - you’re a guest whose wellbeing is genuinely prioritised.
This is where our expertise shines. This is where your peace of mind begins.
