Fred Olsen Cruise Lines is poised to recommence its Caribbean itineraries for the first time in over three years, starting in November. The Borealis will embark on its inaugural Caribbean journey, offering a Classic Caribbean Islands cruise that includes visits to nine islands, among them Bequia and Antigua. This highlights a reinvigoration of the company’s presence in this sought-after destination.
Martin Lister, responsible for itinerary planning and destination experiences at Fred Olsen, conveyed his excitement regarding this venture. According to him, guests will have numerous opportunities to explore the region’s ancient history and vibrant cultures. “We are thrilled to be sailing back to the Caribbean and showcasing the best of the islands to our guests,” he stated, underscoring the enriching experiences lined up for passengers.
The Borealis’s itinerary promises memorable scenes as it sails past significant landmarks like Saint Lucia’s UNESCO-listed volcanic pitons. Further, the cruise features a tour of Dominica’s spectacular waterfalls, including Emerald Pool, Spanny Falls, Jacko Falls, and Trafalgar Falls. These natural wonders present a unique appeal to the itineraries, fostering an immersive travel experience.
This exciting development coincides with Fred Olsen Cruise Lines’ collaboration with the global environmental charity, Project Seagrass, earlier in the year. This partnership was initiated to enhance awareness about Seagrass habitats in the oceans, reflecting the cruise line’s commitment to environmental sustainability.
Setting sail from Liverpool on 15th November 2023, the 29-night Classic Caribbean Islands cruise is priced from £2,999 per person. Additionally, before the Caribbean journey, the Borealis will be part of the “Fleet in Funchal” event in Madeira on 9th November, alongside the Bolette and Balmoral.
Fred Olsen’s return to the Caribbean underlines its dedication to delivering exceptional cruise experiences while reinforcing environmental stewardship.
