Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines’ latest offer is directed at teachers. A “complimentary champagne afternoon tea” is available for those on cruises of six nights or more in July and August 2024 and 2025.
The cruise line offers five different voyage options where teachers can enjoy an afternoon boozy beverage experience. According to Fred. Olsen, the “tea” sitting will include champagne for two. Director of Product and Customer Service for the brand, Clare Ward, suggested that the cruise is great for teachers seeking relaxation away from their young pupils.
“At Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines, you won’t see us hike up our cruise prices during the school holidays, as we are not targeting ourselves towards those with young families. This makes us a great cruise line for teachers looking for a break outside of term-time,” Ward noted.
“By choosing a Fred. Olsen cruise, you can visit multiple destinations off the beaten tourist trail, immerse in the local way of life, learn about the culture and enjoy stunning scenery, all while enjoying the comfort and on-board experience on our fleet of smaller-sized ships,” she added.
Bookings that take advantage of the deal need to be made through Fred. Olsen’s reservations team. Educators will need to share their TRNs, aka their teacher reference numbers. Also, to get the deal, they must state the code “TEACH245.”
