Lovely boat, spotlessly clean with enough nooks and crannys to make it interesting. Food and entertainment are excellent. Much care an attention is put on heigeine and keeping passengers safe and well. Captain Michael's daily announcements were a joy. Very relaxing atmosphere and very friendly and helpful staff.

Fred Olsen's ships are always great. The Borealis' is a lovely ship and the crew are great, from the bottom to the top, very courteous and will do what they can to help. Theatre productions are the best I've seen. My only gripe is the same for ALL cruise companies, solo passengers get a bit of a raw deal cost wise especially when two in a cabin can get a bigger discount pro rata percentage wise than solos.
