Covid 19 (Coronavirus) Update: #KeepCalmTravelOn
If you have concerns regarding Covid 19 please see our latest statement and operator updates here.
Unfortunately during this unprecedented situation, we have had to temporarily put some of our staff on furlough leave. We are still operating our business as usual albeit with a much smaller team of people, as we have to re-protect and re-book affected holidays and cruises for our existing customers. We are also booking a volume of existing and new customers for 2021 in an effort to avoid any future pricing increases that may inevitably happen.
You can find all our shop opening hours, telephone numbers and email addresses here.
For any urgent queries outside of our new opening hours, please do not hesitate to email me personally on paul.hardwick@fredolsentravel.co.uk and I will look to get back to you as soon as possible.
Following the sad news that all remaining Beales department stores are to close, the team at Fred. Olsen Travel Agents would like to reassure customers that they will still have a presence within the city, and any bookings are completely safe with us.

I thought I should write a letter and thank you for your sterling work in ensuring our holiday for 2021.
You will know that we had our family holiday arranged for this forthcoming August which we wished to have transferred to the August of 2021. This was rather difficult for us as I have been engaged in a long-running guerrilla war with Myeloma and my treatment is time sensitive (83 pills and potions per week and two monthly sessions of chemotherapy). Fitting this treatment in with a holiday next year was tricky. I didn't inform you of this, nevertheless, you rose to the occasion and it ensured that we will have a family holiday during my wife 60th year as well as providing a token of thanks to her and our family for the superb support that they have given my wife and me.
It hasn't been easy for you either. Over a four day period you badgered TUi and eventually won through, calling me on a daily basis, assuring me that you were 'on the case'. This may be my last family holiday and so you will understand that I am doubly grateful.
Thank you once again. Good luck and STAY SAFE.
