FRS Caribbean has made its home at Port Miami, Terminal H, where passengers are able to park nearby for the day or overnight. FRS Caribbean’s Call Center is available for reservations and inquires Monday – Saturday from 9:00am to 7:00pm and Sundays from 9:00am to 1:00PM.

FRS wants to specially thank the Ministry of Tourism of the Bahamas for its support, which has been critical in this new venture for FRS to start operations in this region. The vessel arrived in the Bahamas on July 03, 2016, after its journey across the Atlantic Ocean, which started on June 20 in Europe.

“These are exciting times for FRS, as we are thrilled to expand our North American operations and to continue with our future growth plan,” said Götz Becker, CEO of FRS. “We are sure that with this vessel, we will bring the highest standards in service and safety to our customers, providing them with a relaxing and convenient way of traveling.”

This new line shows FRS’s continued commitment to expand in the North American market. In January 2016, FRS acquired a majority interest in Clipper Navigation, Inc. based in Seattle. Clipper, operator of Clipper Vacations, is a recognized company in the Pacific Northwest and Western Canada, offering unique regional travel experiences, including high speed Victoria Clipper ferry services from Seattle to Victoria, and Seattle to San Juan Island.  With this acquisition, Clipper will expand its Canadian service with a new hub in Vancouver connecting downtown Vancouver with Downtown Victoria. www.frs.world
