Excellent evening live music in bar areas. Disappointing movie showings. Swimming pool and hot tubs very relaxing. TV picture quality very poor in bar lounge.

We were happy with the facilities of the Borealis and as it was only about two thirds full there was always plenty of space. It might feel rather crowded if full.

This was our first cruise with Fred Olsen having cruised many times on larger ships. Overall it was great and really enjoyable. The check in process was efficient and we were on board in time for lunch. The food was really good throughout the cruise both in the main restaurant or self service. The staff were fantastic and e were impressed with the quality of the ship overall. The itinerary was good although the stop in Stavanger was cancelled due to the weather resulting in an extra day at sea. Fast refund of excursions though. We have already booked the Christmas Market cruise in December as we were very happy with Fred.
