There is also comedy from Jim Bowen, Jimmy Tarbuck and Kenny Lynch to complete the formidable entertainment line up.
Sample cruises:
Western Mediterranean cruise 14 nights from 4th October 2009 departing from Dover
This autumn Iberia cruise stars Kenny Ball and his Jazzmen, one of the top jazz artists of all time and a big favourite with Fred. Olsen customers. The cruise visits Malaga, Barcelona, Marseille, Mahon (Menorca), Gibraltar and Lisbon returning to Dover.
Iberian cruise – 10 nights from Portsmouth departing 8th November 2009
This cruise stars Lulu, supported by the Leo Green experience, along with performances by top swing band Dominic Halpin & the Honey B’s, and is booking fast with some cabin grades already fully booked. The entertainment will clearly be a highlight of this cruise, however the ports of call are also very attractive, with the itinerary taking in Bilbao, La Coruna, Liexoes (for Oporto), Gibraltar and Lisbon.
Prices are quoted per person, based on two sharing an inside twin cabin (unless stated otherwise) and include all meals and entertainment on board – including performances by the on board star entertainers - and port taxes.
Marketing Manager Mike Bird said: “This is by far the best entertainment line up we have ever offered on our Music at Sea cruises and the value for money is unbeatable, when you consider that top class entertainment is included, along with all the other delights of a Fred. Olsen cruise. The fact that our prices are all in sterling makes the cruise even better value for money.”
