As our time in port is determined by Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines and the local port authorities, our walks and sightseeing schedules are adapted to fit in with these timings. Our walks may sometimes, but not always, be shorter than what you would normally expect from the equivalent grade on a land-based holiday.
The grading system for our Cruise & Walk tours therefore places a greater emphasis on terrain and steepness of ascent and descent rather than on time and distance, though these factors are still relevant.
