Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines has teamed up with cruise enthusiast Fraser Porteous, known as “Fraser at Sea,” to launch “Setting Sail at 60,” a six-part YouTube series which debuted on February 20.

The series follows Fraser and his mother, Margaret, as they embark on six cruises to mark her 60th birthday, with Margret experiencing life at sea for the first time.

“Cruising has been a huge part of my life for years, so sharing my mum’s first-ever cruise with her on a Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines sailing was something I was really excited about,” said Fraser Porteous.

“With Setting Sail at 60, we wanted to capture that real sense of excitement and discovery as a first-time cruiser. Filming the series gave us some unforgettable moments together, and I’m excited for viewers to experience that journey with us.”

Across the six episodes, viewers will join Fraser and Margaret as they complete 60 bucket-list experiences, with each episode capturing 10 moments – from spotting dolphins in open waters to sailing through the Kiel Canal.

Chloe Finn, Social Media & Brand Activation Manager at Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines, said that the aim was to create a series that celebrates the joy of discovery, while showcasing the best of Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines through the eyes of both a seasoned cruiser and a first-time guest.

“This is one of the first series of its kind in the cruise industry, and we’re very proud of what we’ve created. We hope viewers enjoy watching it as much as we enjoyed bringing it to life,” Finn added.

Setting Sail at 60 is available to watch on the Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines YouTube channel.

Following the launch of the first episode on Friday 20, new episodes will be released every Friday.
