It follows the introduction of Fred. Olsen’s Travel Ready Service, launched in December, under which the line will handles paperwork including Passenger Locator Forms and NHS vaccination letters.

Continued Deer, ‘We have had great feedback on our Travel Ready Service, which provides additional peace of mind for those looking to explore again in 2022, and teamed with a relaxation of restrictions by our UK Government has really helped to stimulate new bookings.

‘This is a really great start to the year, and we are looking forward to a successful season of cruising as we sail into the summer months and beyond.’

The most popular sailings for bookings so far this year include Borealis’ 14-night ‘Winter warmth in the Canaries’ cruise departing Liverpool on February 27, 2022, Bolette’s eight-night ‘Western Europe city break’ departing Southampton March 16, 2022 and Balmoral’s seven-night ‘Norwegian fjords & mighty waterfalls’ cruise, setting off from Newcastle June 15, 2022.
