Your cruise at a glance
Hand-crafted highlights
As Borealis sails away from Costa Rica, your journey will take you to see some of the world's most exciting, diverse and iconic sights. Three Hawaiian islands will offer lush landscapes formed from the volcanic rock on which the archipelago sits, and a rich cultural tapestry of native traditions and influences from acros the world. The enchanting islands of French Polynesia are a haven of coral reefs, pristine beaches and verdant forests, home to a huge variety of marine life. Auckland, known as the 'City of Sails', boasts a magnificent waterfront, framed by two harbours and overlooked by the iconic Sky Tower. It's also located close to an abundance of rainforests, and nearby vineyards providing a taste of New Zealand's finest wines. Komodo Island is home to earth's largest lizard, the Komodo Dragon - where these prehistoric-looking reptiles wander freely around the rugged terrain. After stops at mesmerising ports in India, Borealis continues on to Europe via the engineering marvel of the Suez Canal, built to provide an invaluable shortcut for global maritime trade.

Visa and health requirements can change at any time. It is your own responsibility to ensure that you check with a professionally qualified source and comply with such requirements. UK passport holders will need visas for certain Fred. Olsen cruise holidays and will be advised at the time of booking. Your cruise booking information will also detail any requirements applicable to your holiday.
On certain sailings we offer two types of cruise fares; Freedom and Saver Fares.
Our single guests feel right at home on board our ships; Fred. Olsen have the reputation of sailing the friendliest fleet afloat.
Disembarking when your ship's at anchor is a very different experience to when it's docked portside. Getting ashore in this instance often involves the use of the ship's tender, which is accessed via the steps of a secure gangway.
