Explore enchanting Spanish cities and towns
Your cruise aboard Borealis has been carefully curated to showcase the diverse cultural heritage of the region. From Tarragona, join us for a tour of Barcelona, where you can immerse yourself in the charm of the Gothic Quarter, characterised by its labyrinthine medieval streets, grand cathedrals, and secluded squares. Meanwhile, in Tarragona, don't miss the opportunity to wander through the ancient Roman ruins of Part Alta, admire the striking architecture of its Romanesque Cathedral, and take in the beauty of other noteworthy medieval structures. Valencia seamlessly blends the timeless beauty of landmarks like La Lonja de la Seda with the innovative architecture of Ciudad de las Artes y las Ciencias, and you'll also have the chance to discover the Andalusian gem of Casco Antiguo in Cadiz. Each district in Spain promises a wealth of architectural marvels and cultural experiences, begging for further exploration.
Immerse yourself in La Buena Vida
This cruise to Spain offers opportunities to experience La Buena Vida, 'The Good Life', in a number of ways, like savouring tapas and Rioja wine, or experiencing the rich sounds of flamenco music and witnessing a mesmerising performance by talented local bailaora dancers, who may teach you some of the dance steps. Meanwhile, in Valencia, you can relish a traditional paella, bringing together a harmonious blend of saffron, seafood, and rice, best enjoyed among friends; or in Tarrgona, explore its mediaeval streets and squares and indulge in fresh seafood at a local restaurant near the magnificent Romanesque Catedral de Tarragona.

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.

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.
