If you’re taking a Fred. Olsen ‘no port’ cruise this summer you’ll be joined by experts from marine wildlife charity ORCA, who will be offering wildlife-spotting tips, hosting sessions from the deck and giving vacationers the chance to assist in vital conservation research.
The expert Flipper-spotters will be on board new ships Bolette and Borealis, and the returning Balmoral, for seven sailings in July and August.
ORCA conservationists will spend their days on deck, helping guests to spot, identify and record data about the marine wildlife that they see, as well as holding lectures and Q&A sessions on board.
The Fred. Olsen summer sailings around the British Isles include the Faroe Islands and Norwegian Fjords, which could bring opportunities to spot common, Risso’s and bottlenose dolphins, as well as harbour porpoises and Minke whales.
