Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines has once again been crowned ‘Best Cruise Line Operator for Groups’by readers of Group Travel Organiser magazine, in its prestigious ‘2015 Group Travel Awards’. This is the fifth consecutive year that Fred. Olsen has won this coveted award, which is a record for Group Travel Organiser!
Fred. Olsen beat off stiff competition from the other cruise lines nominated in this important category – Royal Caribbean, Norwegian Cruise Line and Saga amongst them.
Fred. Olsen’s Ellie Fulcher, Group & Specialist Sales Manager, and Sophie Austin, Group & Specialist Sales Executive, were presented with the coveted award by comedian and compère Hal Cruttenden, Adrian Gates Commercial Director – Group Travel Organiser magazine, and Abbe Bates – Editor of Group Travel Organiser magazine, at a glittering ceremony held at the Park Lane Hilton Hotel, London on 5th June 2015.
Fred. Olsen also sponsored the ‘Best Overseas Destination for Groups’ category, which was won this year by Germany. Fred. Olsen offers a variety of German itineraries and experiences in its cruise programme, and its two ‘German Waterways’ sailings in 2016 are amongst its top-selling cruises.
Ellie Fulcher, Group & Specialist Sales Manager for Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines, said:
“We just cannot believe that we have won this amazing award five times in a row now! We are so thrilled that our efforts have been recognised in this significant way, and we would like to pass on our sincere thanks to all those who voted for us! We would also like to acknowledge the tremendous co-operation that we receive from our colleagues shoreside and the officers and crew across our fleet, who all work tirelessly to look after the group travel organisers and their groups when they are on board.
“We are committed to offering our groups the very best, tailor-made cruise experience on board our four smaller, more intimate cruise ships, and we are renowned as being the friendliest fleet afloat’. We are looking forward to showcasing our unique and multi-award-winning cruise holidays to even more groups in the future.
