Around The World in 80 Days Fred Olsen cruise

You'll also be able to take in the sensational sights as you disembark at each exciting destination. 

The cruise will include many of the spots that Fogg and Passepartout venture to as you circumnavigate the globe including parts of Africa, Asia and the Americas.
