Black Watch kicked off the trio of cruises on September 30, 2015, with a 16-night 'Scandinavia’s Greatest Capitals & Palaces’ sailing.
Nathan Philpot, sales and marketing director for Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines, said: 'We are pleased to be offering our guests in Northern Ireland and Ireland the opportunity to embark on a Fred. Olsen cruise from Belfast, without having to endure an expensive flight or long ferry crossing to reach the ship.'
Fred. Olsen’s connections with the seafaring city of Belfast run deep; the Fred. Olsen group of companies includes Fred. Olsen Energy, which comprises Offshore Drilling and Engineering & Fabrication, owner of the Harland & Wolff Shipyard, where the ill-fated R.M.S. Titanic was built.
The two other cruises are a 8-night to Spain and France calling La Coruna, Bilbao, La Pallice and Lorient on October 16 and a 14 night Morocco, Portugal and Canaries’ cruise, departing on October 24, 2015.
Prices start from £699 per person, based on two adults sharing a twin-bedded Outside cabin.
