About Fred Olsen Express Ferries

Fred Olsen Express Ferries is a ferry company which operates in the Canary Islands – one of Europe's most popular vacation destinations. The company's vessels offer a variety of connections throughout the Spanish-governed islands, which offer beaches, nightlife, golf, cultural activities, mountain climbing, and plenty of excellent accommodation. Founded in 1974, the company was the first to provide scheduled ferries for Canaries destinations like Gomera. Today, it carries both foot passengers and cars, operates a fleet of six rapid catamaran-style vessels. There's no better partner for some Canary Island hopping adventures.

Fred Olsen has come a long way since the first crossing left Gomera over 40 years ago. Nowadays, the company offers a wide range of ferries for Canaries visitors to board. Islands served include Gomera, Fuerteventura, Lanzarote, Tenerife and Gran Canaria, so most of the major tourist islands are part of the network. Ports include Los Canarios, Agaete, Santa Cruz de Tenerife, Santa Cruz de la Palma, Las Palmas (the islands' capital), San Sebastian de la Gomera, Corralejo, Morro Jable, and Playa Blanca. There is a total of 14 routes between these destinations, so there should be a voyage to suit most itineraries. Facilities on board include shops, restaurant service, play areas for children, and satellite television to keep everyone entertained. All boats are high-speed models, and all have been updated since 1999, so fast, comfortable crossing are always available.
