FRED. OLSEN
CRUISE LINES TO NAME FOURTH SHIP - BOADICEA
Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines has announced that its
fourth ship, which will join the fleet in early
2006, is to be named Boadicea. The name has been
carefully selected to reflect the company's ongoing
commitment to the British market. Boadicea is a
sister ship to Fred. Olsen's Black Watch and the
Englishness of her name perfectly contrasts with
Black Watch's strong Scottish connections.
Mike Rodwell, managing
director of Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines said: "What
more fitting tribute to a ship that will be operating
out of the ports of Dover and Southampton, than
to name her after a great English queen? Boadicea
means "victorious" and we look forward
to seeing her taking the seas by storm next year."
Nigel Lingard, marketing
director for the line, added "The addition
of Boadicea to our fleet will allow us to operate
a wider choice of itineraries and home ports for
our customers, satisfying the increasing demand
for our very special style of smaller ship cruising."
