The overall feeling is very casual. The waiters and crew were friendly and courteous the entertainment was very good. There was a good variety of food choices. However due to the wife contracting a virus this choice was very restricted for 24 hrs and then slightly less restricted for the next 72 hrs

My first ever cruise - in search of The Northern Lights, on board Borealis with Fred Olsen Cruise Line. 25th March - 4th April 2025. Boarding was so easy. I arrived 30 minutes before it started. I had rather a lot of luggage and a steward helped me and took me straight up to my cabin. Sadly I only got to see a bit of the ship and eat food in the Buffet and Pool Bar, as I contracted Norovirus on the second day. Room Service was OK, but all the staff were amazing.

Borealis is an elegant and spacious ship, with a great enrichment programme, plenty of activities to choose from and the evening shows were amazing. I enjoyed the menus and lunch in the dining room was a treat. Although the weather was bad the ship wasn't overcrowded with all the passengers inside, I liked cruising on the Borealis.
