Well appointed but an attitude change may be required
"we had taken a lot of trouble in selecting the cabin we did and for good reason
d) Another issue was that the bath (much needed) was deep and proved impossible for one of us (5' 4") to get in or out so spent the week un-showered and un-bathed.We found that the company very poor in addressing issues that arise with those of limited mobility and hidden disabilities
a) Having travelled 90 miles in searing heat, apparently we arrived 20 minutes before a set time of 11...."Read More

We chose this cruise as it sailed from Liverpool and we were away for our wedding anniversary and my husband's 60th birthday.
We've previously only sailed with Cruise and Maritime which has since folded. But Fred Olsen is far superior in every way!
Firstly, Borealis is a beautiful ship and our inside cabin was more than adequate with a great shower and more hangers and storage than you ...

We've just returned from a trip on the Borealis to Norway and the Shetland Isles, The staff were amazing and very attentive.
The ship appeared clean, though I didn't see any anti virus sprays being used, just area's wiped down with the same cloth, that would of actually spread the virus. And we had lots of dust buddies under the beds.
However, the beds were super comfy and the pillows, we ...

We chose the cruise as it was easier for us to reach Liverpool and was less likely to be affected by an increase in Covid infections
The ship itself is very well refurbished from Holland America line. It is excellently appointed and did not disappoint in this regard. For health reasons we selected using the Freedom fare, a Premier Suite close to a lift and friends. We have mobility issues and ...

We chose this cruise because it sailed from Liverpool which is only thirty minutes away from were we live. We usually sail from Southampton. This is our 11th cruise and our first time with Fred Olson.
I would like to start with the positives.
Embarkation was quick. Our luggage was taken off us as we arrived and was in our cabin an hour later. We opted for an inside cabin. We usually have a ...

we arrived today for our cruise on the Borealis, albeit it should have been the Blackwatch. The cruise has been booked for other 2 years and the only reason we booked it was that we had cruised on the Balmoral the sister ship to the Blackwatch and the balcony suite was exceptional, our friends had also cruised on the Blackwatch and they assured me the balcony suite on there was equally as good. ...

Just returned from a 9 night cruise to Iceland on the MS Borealis.
What an amazing country. Nothing like I have experienced before.
Sailed from Liverpool with Fred Olsen on one of the new ships to the fleet, the MS Borealis. The ship was traditional and tidy, very well appointed and clean, with so many bars, lounges and other public areas to use whilst on board.
Going north in the middle ...

We wanted to get away from home before we went "stir crazy" it has been a difficult 18 months! We fancied some winter sun but didn't want to sit in a 'plane for 4 hours, so went on a Fred Olsen 14 day cruise around the Canary Islands on the Borealis. This is not a new ship but Fred Olsen has done an excellent job of refurbishment; we were impressed with the overall standard of decoration and ...

First Time Cruiser • Age 60s
We were originally scheduled to take this cruise in October 2020 but were able to postpone it with little or no fuss and at the price we originally paid. We had been on river cruises previously, but had not taken a sea cruise before so weren't sure what to expect. Check-in though lengthy because of covid requirements, was smooth and efficient, and to be honest the precautions were reassuring. ...

We were wary of returning to cruising as it is a very different world to our last cruise in December 2019 but we came home, having thoroughly enjoyed the cruise and having felt safe throughout the 11 daýs - so much so that we have booked another cruise for December. You could ask for nothing more, from Fred Olsen, to reassure you over Covid protocols. We can all find faults and claim to have had ...

Embarkation went smoothly, Senior Officers at the gangway as we boarded, all very welcoming. Found our cabin very easily, well appointed single bed layout, plenty of storage, safe n wardrobes. Settee dresser and chair, tea n coffee making. Slept like a log throughout. Yani our chambermaid introduced herself and looked after ourselves very well. First stop, pool bar, where Julius greeted us and ...
