Fred Olsen Cruise Lines has partnered with Jet2.com for its 2025 Mediterranean fly-cruise program. Known for their convenient sailings from the UK aboard smaller ships, in 2025 Fred Olsen offer something different.

From October to November 2025, Balmoral will offer 7- to 12-night Mediterranean cruises. Jet2.com will provide chartered flights from London Stansted and Manchester. Passengers can explore destinations like Cinque Terre, the Amalfi Coast, the Bay of Kotor, and the Greek islands, with opportunities to enjoy local culture, such as Flamenco dancing, Jerez sherry, Dalmatian markets, and the Krka Waterfall.

Clare Ward, Director of Product and Customer Services at Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines, said:

We are really excited about this new partnership with Jet2.com for Balmoral’s 2025 Mediterranean fly-cruise programme.

They are renowned for their customer service, and as such will complement the high standard of service that our guests come to expect from us. This collaboration highlights our commitment to delivering unforgettable experiences for our guests, before they even step foot aboard one of our ships.

A fly-cruise is perfect for guests who want to maximise their time ashore, by reducing the time in sailing from the UK. Plus, guests can tailor their holiday by booking onto consecutive fly-cruises for those looking to enjoy a longer autumnal break in the sunshine.
