Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines stood out with its captivating rural beekeeping tour in Lithuania, a highlight acknowledged by the award. This unique tour offers guests a glimpse into village life and the cultural significance of bees, featuring visits to a family-operated apiary where honey is meticulously produced. Attendees also have the delightful opportunity to taste various types of honey and locally crafted mead.
Martin Lister, Head of Itinerary Product Development at Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines, said: “We’re incredibly proud to have received this award. It’s testament to all the work that our Destination Experience teams, both ashore and on board our fleet, put in to making each one of our guests’ excursions an incredible and unforgettable experience.
“At Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines, we believe it’s all about the people and we believe that giving our guests the opportunity to connect with credible local people, who aren’t just providing information on a subject, but are passionate about sharing their personal stories and insights into their real lives, is the best way of engaging our guests and the communities that we visit.
“We’re delighted that the hard work and dedication has been recognised by our guests.”
