Fred. Olsen returns to Norway on new ship Borealis
The line is offering 22 sailings across all four seasons in 2022
Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines is returning to Norway today (November 16) as its new ship Borealis sets sail to seek out the Northern Lights.
The voyage is Fred. Olsen’s first cruise back to Norway since the line resumed sailing in the summer.
The cruise marks the start of a programme of cruising to the region, with 22 sailings across all four seasons in 2022.
The luxury’s line’s small ships allow them to sail size-restricted waters such as Lysefjord, Åkrafjord and Fjaerlandsfjord, where passengers can see secluded waterfalls and sail scenic fjords.
Martin Lister, head of itinerary planning and destination experience at Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines, said: “At Fred. Olsen, we are proud to sail our own course, and our homeland of Norway is somewhere this really shines through.
“This is especially true in the fjords, where we frequently travel away from the well-sailed route. Here we can offer truly special experiences for our guests, such as sailing Maurangerfjord to show our guests the sprawling Fureberg Waterfall.
“The smaller size of our ships opens up so many possibilities for us. We can sail the size-restricted Lysefjord so guests can look up at the famous Pulpit Rock, or cruise Åkrafjord to the tall and tumbling Langfoss Waterfall, often regarded as the best waterfall in Norway, offering views of spectacular scenery direct from the ship.
“This first cruise back to Norway will be extra special, as not only will we be visiting Alta, renowned for being one of the best places on earth to see the Northern Lights, but it will also see Borealis going in search of the phenomena from which she takes her name. We can’t wait to share this experience with our guests.”
Fred. Olsen’s Norway itineraries include Bolette’s 14-night In Search of the Northern Lights cruise, departing Southampton on January 30, 2022, with prices leading in at 1,399 per person; and Borealis’ eight-night Classic Norwegian Fjords cruise, departing Liverpool on April 6, 2022, with prices starting from £999 per person.
