Around The World in 80 Days Fred Olsen cruise

Unlike the beloved fictional explorer who had to rush from place to place in the nail-biting challenge, there will be plenty of time for you to unwind onboard.

You'll also be able to take in the sensational sights as you disembark at each exciting destination. 

The cruise will include many of the spots that Fogg and Passepartout venture to as you circumnavigate the globe including parts of Africa, Asia and the Americas.
