We were delayed four hours because of medical problems on the previous cruise as a result the cleaning was meticulous and thorough, the cruise was excellent you would be hard pushed to find any fault.

Two weeks spent on a lovely ship. The cabin was nicely laid out and comfortable. The ship is gorgeous inside and the staff are wonderful. Great to have ORCA on board and the two ladies gave great lectures and we learnt a lot about Whales even though we sadly didn’t see any. It was a chance to relax and enjoy the views.

Overall our cruise was very good. We were lucky because the ship was only just over half full and so in general the service on board was very good. We did have some early problems with the service in the dining room but we were promptly reseated and from then it was really good. The food was varied and enjoyable. We enjoyed the entertainment, particularly the shows and the quizzes. We had two excursions cancelled due to lack of numbers but this was probably a consequence of the low number of passengers on the ship. Unfortunately a northern lights cruise we booked lasted only just over 2hours rather than the 3hours advertised - we were given a partial refund.

Brilliant cruise, the boat, the crew and staff were amazing, nothing was too much trouble. Especially the girls in the bar. The only thing which spoilt the cruise were the Whale Watching, and Chasing the Northern Lights excursions at Alta, the guide struggled to speak English, the conditions on the top of the boat were very slippery, including the steps to get to upper deck which made if very difficult and dangerous, especially in the dark. Then the evening excursion was cut short because the crew would not work after 21. 00. Apart from this the cruise was amazing, loved everything about the Borealis.
