Norwich Airport offers gateway to Mediterranean cruising holidays

Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 14 Nov, 14:01 · Archive

Direct flights from Norwich to Alicante offer Norfolk holidaymakers a way to join Mediterranean cruises without long journeys to major ports.

Direct flights from Norwich Airport to Alicante offer Norfolk holidaymakers a convenient route to Mediterranean cruising, avoiding the long journeys to London airports or Southampton docks that have traditionally been necessary.

Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines offers cruise-only bookings, allowing passengers to arrange their own flights and join selected voyages at overseas ports. The company operates smaller ships including the Balmoral, which has two pool decks and is described as the smallest in the Fred. Olsen fleet.

Fred. Olsen has built a reputation for catering to older travellers, with smaller vessels that do not feature the waterslides, ice rinks, go-kart tracks and extensive shopping facilities associated with some modern cruise liners. This approach creates a more relaxed, culture-focused experience aimed at those seeking traditional cruising.
