Cruises on Borealis
Borealis sails to destinations around the globe, from close-to-home places to far-flung locations on the other side of the world, from the convenient UK departure ports of Dover, Newcastle, Portsmouth and Southampton, providing memorable discoveries and breathtaking scenery. Explore the sunkissed islands of the Canaries; go island-hopping in the Caribbean; discover hidden gems of the Adriatic; or journey to Northern Norway to experience the Northern Lights. You will also have opportunities to fully immerse yourself in local life, such as baking Pastéis de Nata with a local pastry chef in Lisbon, enjoying husky rides in the snow-covered landscapes of Alta or Tromsø, and bathing in hot springs in Iceland.[ReadMoreMob]
During the summer of 2026, you can witness the spectacular scenery of the Norwegian fjords, encountering steep mountains, glass-like fjords and icy-blue glaciers, explore enchanting Baltic cities like Tallinn and Copenhagen, discover iconic Scottish and Irish landmarks such as Fingal's Cave or the Cliffs of Moher, and during August, experience the magnificent sight of a total eclipse from Borealis' decks on a cruise to Northern Spain, jonied by experts from Go Stargazing who will be on hand to provide you with fascinating insights.
On board your smaller ship, you'll be able to feel the culture of the destinations you visit as you sit back and enjoy expert commentary from our knowledgeable and friendly speakers, or join volunteers from ORCA on deck who help you spot marine life in the surrounding oceans.
