Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines will bring together its entire ocean-going fleet in Las Palmas, Gran Canaria, this November for its highly anticipated Fleet Fiesta, one of the company's signature events.
Scheduled to take place in late November 2026, the event will bring together Bolette, Borealis, and Balmoral for a full day of celebrations designed for both guests and crew. Fleet reunions are among the most anticipated occasions in the company's calendar, offering a chance for passengers to experience all three ships side by side while taking part in special entertainment ashore and on board.
The quayside festivities will feature returning favorites such as the popular Battle of the Bartenders, tug-of-war competitions between crew members, live performances from the onboard entertainment teams, and a variety of other activities. Guests will also be invited to visit the other ships in the fleet, exploring their public spaces, restaurants, lounges, open decks, and curated art collections while meeting crew members from across the company.
The 2026 Fleet Fiesta follows the success of Fred. Olsen's last fleet gathering in Funchal in November 2023, when the three vessels met in Madeira for a day of celebrations before departing together beneath a fireworks display. The event has since become one of the cruise line's signature experiences.
To coincide with the reunion, Fred. Olsen has introduced several itineraries that include the Fleet Fiesta. These include a 16-night voyage aboard Bolette departing Liverpool on November 21, a 15-night adults-only sailing on Borealis from Southampton on November 23, and a 10-night cruise aboard Balmoral departing Santa Cruz de Tenerife on November 30.
With the Canary Islands' mild late-autumn climate providing the backdrop, the cruise line expects the Fleet Fiesta to once again become one of the highlights of its 2026 cruise season
