Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines is inviting families to book a last-minute getaway and enjoy special savings on a selection of itineraries this summer, according to a company statement.

In August, third and fourth guests can sail for £199 per person when sharing a cabin with two full-paying adults. The offer is available on six cruises departing from Liverpool, Newcastle, Dover, Southampton and Rosyth. Itineraries range from eight to 15 nights and include destinations such as the Azores, the Norwegian fjords and Iceland.

Four of these sailings will include Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines’ Little Skippers kids’ club, offering children a range of activities and a specially curated children’s menu at meal times.

Clare Ward, director of product and customer services at Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines, said: “At Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines, we take pride in offering great value for money by not imposing a huge premium on our prices during the summer holidays.

“We love welcoming multi-generational families on board our smaller ships, where they can enjoy making unforgettable memories with their loved ones. Opportunities in our hand-crafted itineraries include the opportunity to witness thundering waterfalls and spurting geysers in Iceland, see beautiful hydrangeas when they’re in bloom in the Azores and spot marine wildlife with conservation charity ORCA.”
