We have just returned from a wonderful cruise on Fred Olsen’s Borealis! The quality of the service, friendliness of the staff and the attention to detail were amazing. Admittedly, we were incredibly lucky with the weather and we had blue skies throughout, even in Europe’s wettest city, Bergen. We really enjoyed the two on shore excursions we went on, in particular a trip to Voringsfossen waterfall and Hardanger Nature Centre, where our guide was really knowledgeable. The scenery throughout the holiday was amazing! The entertainment on board was superb, in particular the Borealis Players, Ben Moss & the wonderful crew show. We also went to talks on board the ship from David Nike, which gave us a greater appreciation for Norway and the places we were visiting. Facilities on Borealis were excellent & it was clear that there was a lot of pride taken in maintaining the ship and keeping everything clean and tidy. On our final day we took a behind the scenes tour of the ship, which was really interesting. It was great to see how everything and everyone works together to make our stay so seamless. In particular, I would like to mention three members of staff who we felt made our stay even more special, our steward Elsa and our two waiters in the Borealis restaurant, Nagaraj & Gaurav. We loved the Fred Olsen culture.
