About

About Borealis

Sister ship to our flagship Bolette, our adults only ship, Borealis, joined the fleet in 2020 and is ideally designed for scenic cruising along the world’s lesser-explored waterways. From sailing past spectacular landscapes and historic landmarks to admiring the beauty of the natural world, guests can enjoy exceptional views from the well-appointed Observatory. 

Refurbished and redecorated on joining our fleet to meet the Olsen family’s style of cruising, Borealis offers a wide selection of lounges and bars, elegant restaurants, spacious open decks and 702 comfortable cabins and suites. Throughout your cruise, our warm and attentive crew will be on hand, delivering the friendly, personal service for which Fred. Olsen is renowned.

Our adults only cruises provide a relaxed and welcoming environment for couples, friends and solo travellers, inviting you to explore at an unhurried pace, so whether you choose to socialise and form new friendships or savour peaceful moments to yourself, you’ll enjoy the freedom to unwind aboard Borealis as she sails the world.
