Discover the Mediterranean with Free Flights on Selected Sailings from Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines
Holidaymakers chasing warmer days can swap the UK’s autumn chill for Mediterranean sunshine, with free flights on selected sailings with Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines.
On the 30th September, Fred. Olsen’s smaller ship Balmoral, will set sail on a Grand Voyage around the Mediterranean and Atlantic Islands, which unfolds across six individual itineraries.
Highlights include calls to iconic destinations such as Athens and Istanbul, alongside visits to lesser‑visited gems including Marmaris, Thessaloniki and Syros.
For new Freedom Fare bookings made by Sunday, 31stMay 2026 (inclusive), guests can enjoy a free‑flight offer on the first and last‑leg itineraries of Balmoral’s Grand Voyage – departing from or arriving into London Gatwick or Manchester Airport.
The offer comes as Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines also announces a new itinerary as part of its 2026 fly-cruise programme. The 11‑night sailing from the Mediterranean to the Canary Islands visits five countries, plus Gibraltar, with highlights including time in Athens, home to the Acropolis, and scenic cruising into Valletta’s Grand Harbour and through the Strait of Gibraltar.
Phil Gardner, Director or Commercial & Product at Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines, said:
“Our fly‑cruise programme is a rewarding and relaxing way to explore the Mediterranean, allowing guests to spend unhurried time discovering each destination.
“By flying to join Balmoral directly in port, guests can make the most of their time ashore, exploring iconic cities alongside the quieter charm of lesser‑visited places. With free flights currently available on selected sailings, now is an ideal time to start planning a memorable escape.”
