Visit ‘Castles, Cathedrals & Historic Towns’ with Fred. Olsen Cruises

 

30th August 2018 – Holidaymakers looking to explore the delights of the Rhine, Moselle and Main rivers on Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines’ Brabant can still do so, before its inaugural cruise season comes to a close. Fred. Olsen’s new ‘Castles, Cathedrals & Historic Towns’ brochure shines a spotlight on three spectacular European river itineraries on Brabant, all setting sail before the end of October 2018.

 

Martin Lister, Head of Itinerary Planning and Destination Experience for Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines, said:

 

Brabant has enjoyed a fantastic inaugural season, serving some of Europe’s finest rivers and waterways, and with her final voyage setting sail at the end of October, it really is the last chance for anyone wishing to join us to book for this year.

 

“Whether you have always wanted to visit Cologne’s iconic cathedral, have daydreamed about exploring the picture-postcard streets of Strasbourg, or simply wish to enjoy stunning scenery as you cruise along some of Europe’s most picturesque rivers, there is sure to be something to tempt you before Brabant’s 2018 season comes to a close.”

 

Launched in April this year, 156-guest river ship Brabant offers all the usual hallmarks of Fred. Olsen’s ‘closer’ approach to cruising. As with its ocean-going fleet, it has the style, atmosphere and elegance of a country house hotel, and – with a limited number of sailings left for 2018 – the time for ‘last chance’ bookings is fast approaching.

Built in 2006, 110-metre-long Brabant is a stylish and comfortable river cruise ship, and has everything that guests will need to make their holiday a memorable one. With just four decks and fewer than 80 rooms and suites, staffed by 40 crew members, Brabant has the intimate and friendly feel that Fred. Olsen’s guests know and love.
