Fred Olsen Cruise Lines has added a river cruiseship to its fleet.
The Norwegian cruise line, a subsidiary of Anette Olsen-led Bonheur, is offering sailings on the 156-passenger Brabant (built 2006) beginning in 2018.
The company did not provide details of its acquisition of the vessel, and a spokeswoman could not be reached for comment.
The vessel will have 30 departures next year on sailings along the Danube, Rhine, Main and Moselle rivers.
"At Fred. Olsen, we specialise in creating a ‘home-from-home’ atmosphere on our ocean cruises, and we are proud to be bringing our many decades of expertise and rich sailing heritage to the river cruise market for the very first time, said sales and marketing director Justin Stanton.
The company currently operates four ocean cruiseships
