Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines returns to the seas with Borealis

Thursday, July 8, 2021

Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines has resumed sailing, with new ship Borealis departing on her maiden voyage from Liverpool. It is the first time that the 1,360-guest ship will set sail with Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines, and marks the launch of a ‘Welcome Back’ programme of UK summer sailings.

Borealis brings a number of new venues and facilities to the fleet, including a grand, two-tier theatre and main restaurant, an all-weather pool with retractable roof, a large spa and thermal suite and new venue, the Auditorium, offering culinary demonstrations and more.

Guests will also have the chance to savour new flavours in Borealis’ new specialty dining restaurants. While the ship will sail at 50 per cent capacity initially, Borealis will always carry less than 1,400 guests. Peter Deer, Managing Director, Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines said it is a momentous day as the company is not only setting sail again after 16 months, but are doing so with the first of two wonderful new ships.

He also thanked the crew, the shoreside team and trade partners for their hard work, dedication, passion and commitment, and to guests, both new and returning, for the support, patience and loyalty they showed as the line prepared for our return. He added that the voyage setting sail is the beginning of a bright new future for Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines with two remarkable new ships among the fleet.
