Fred Olsen Cruise Lines fleet will meet in Madeira for the first time Bolette, Borealis and Balmoral gathered in Madeira for the first time on November 9th, to celebrate the 175th anniversary of the founding of Fred Olsen Cruise Lines. The three ships entered the port of Funchal carrying more than 3,000 guests who were greeted by live music and a quayside decorated with flags, entertainment and a plethora of carnival stalls.
“A huge thank you goes to the Ports of Madeira and our partners in the city for their incredibly warm welcome and the phenomenal fireworks display as the three ships set sail in the evening. Of course, our fleet events would not have been possible without the wonderful teams who work on the company, so a big thank you to all of them as well,” said Peter Deer, CEO of Fred Olsen Cruise Lines.
"For Madeira it was an honor and a privilege to have had the opportunity to host the celebration of the first post-pandemic reunion of the Fred Olsen Cruise Lines fleet. For the port of Funchal it was an unprecedented and beautiful event, during which everything it went smoothly and will certainly remain in our memory. This beautiful initiative promoted a unique synergy between the port and the city, with unique moments of interaction and celebration in which passengers and crew came into contact with the population and customs and regional customs,” said Paula Cabaço, CEO of the Port of Madeira.
Guests also had the rare opportunity to tour all three of the company's ships, with many taking the opportunity to meet up with friends or their favorite crew members and experience the entire fleet firsthand.
