Borealis ship overview
Fred. Olsen Borealis cruises are a stylish and intimate experience. Designed exclusively for adults, offering unforgettable voyages to breathtaking destinations.
With Borealis, you’ll explore iconic cities and hidden gems across Europe, the Mediterranean, and beyond, all while enjoying first-class service aboard a ship tailored for relaxation and discovery.
Like her sister vessel, Bolette, dining onboard Borealis is an absolute treat, with a range of restaurants offering everything from fresh seafood to gourmet international cuisine. Whether you’re dining at the elegant main restaurant or opting for a more casual bite at the Poolside Café, every meal is crafted to delight your taste buds.
For those looking to unwind with a drink, Borealis boasts several bars, including the panoramic Observatory Lounge, where you can sip cocktails while gazing out over stunning ocean views.
When it comes to leisure activities, a Fred. Olsen cruise has it all and Borealis cruises are no different. Take a dip in the outdoor pool, indulge in the soothing spa, or break a sweat at the fitness centre. For entertainment, you’ll find enriching activities like live music, the Olsen Art Studio, and captivating shows at the two-tiered theatre.
Between ports of call, you’ll be surrounded by comfort, luxury, and a sense of adventure, making Borealis the ideal cruise for adults seeking both relaxation and cultural immersion.
It may not be able to explore some of the enchanting backwaters like her other sister Balmoral, but embarking on Borealis cruises are always special. Explore many destinations with fun itineraries such as touring the Mediterranean, a mystery cruise, the Northern Lights, Island hopping in the Caribbean and more. So, book today with no hidden fees.
