They recently, within the last few years started river cruises as well as ocean cruises. Anyone thinking of cruising with Fred who resides over the pond will, I am sure, be as welcomed as I have been when I have visited you fine country either on various cruise lines or vacation. I mentioned Noble Caledonian (off topic) because it is majority Swedish owned. It started with one ship when ships were all laid up after the Gulf War. It is now a successful cruise company, which owns its own small ships. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare FlaMariner Posted July 22, 2020 #102 Share Posted July 22, 2020 Would we sail on Fred Olsen Amsterdam & Rotterdam? We never did sail on them when they were HAL. Nor the other two smaller ships recently sold. We enjoy a balcony cabin and we found the prices way too high for us on those older ships. Our first HAL cruise was on the Zaandam in 2003 (Oceanview) and we were hooked on HAL ever since. We are getting close to our 4 stars but all our cruises since the Zaandam have been on the bigger ships with plentiful balconies we can afford. We are glad to see HAL focus on their economic survival with the larger, more efficient ships......Smooth sailing ahead! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
