Enjoy Mike thinking of taking a trip with these later in the year or early next. Good to have a personal recommendation as always before trying, so thanks for that.

Re: My Holiday
For sure Mike, anything like that just adds to the experience. We like the size of their ships, big is not always best as has been previously discussed on hear. We did a trip on the Astoria which was only 550 passengers. Took me back a bit as she was "rivited", a nice wee ship, accomodation, crew etc. Would go on her again but I think they charter her out for the summer to the French. Would like to do a trip to Iceland / Greenland on her at the right time of year.

Re: My Holiday
Have a lovely holiday Mike. I can vouch for Fred Olsens as I did ten Canary Island cruises on the Blenheim in 1970 from Millwall dock (Canary Wharf). Just a nice size with a British crew as well. Best feeder I was ever on, good crew and a great run.
