Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines new ship Borealis departs from Liverpool on Maiden Voyage

Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines new ship Borealis departs from Liverpool on Maiden Voyage

Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines will resume sailing today, with their new ship Borealis to depart on her Maiden Voyage from Liverpool this evening (Monday, 5th July). 

It is the first time that the 1,360-guest Borealis, which will cruise exclusively from Liverpool in 2021, will sail with Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines, and marks the launch of the line’s ‘Welcome Back’ programme of UK summer sailings. 

Borealis brings a number of new venues and facilities to the fleet, including a grand, two-tier theatre and main restaurant, an all-weather pool with retractable roof, a large spa and thermal suite and new venue The Auditorium offering culinary demonstrations and more. 

Guests will also have the chance to savour new flavours in Borealis’ new specialty dining restaurants. Vasco, named after the famous explorer Vasco Da Gama, who was the first European to reach India by sea, offers a fresh and modern take on Indian food. Meanwhile Colours & Tastes offers modern Asian Fusion dishes. The décor is colourful, the mood cheerful and the food offers a stimulating set of new taste experiences.

While the ship will sail at 50% capacity initially, Borealis will always carry less than 1,400 guests, allowing her and her crew to offer the same small ship experience and attention to detail for which Fred. Olsen is renowned.

Peter Deer, Managing Director for Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines, said: 

“Today is a truly momentous day for us, as not only are we setting sail again after 16 months, but we are doing so with the first of two wonderful new ships.

“We love sailing from Liverpool, having offered cruises from there for many, many years, and our ships always receive such a warm welcome, and we are so pleased to have Borealis based from the city for the remainder of the year. 

“Our crew on board have been working incredibly hard to get Borealis ready to sail, and our guests can enjoy many brand new venues including The Crow’s Nest and the Piano Bar, and those familiar Fred. Olsen touches, such as the Morning Light Pub, and our famous ‘doodle’ carpet, designed to be bright and cheerful. 

“I must extend my personal thanks to each and every member of our wonderful crew, our shoreside team and our trade partners for their hard work, dedication, passion and commitment, and to our guests, both new and returning, for the support, patience and loyalty they showed as we prepared for our return. 

“This voyage setting sail today is the beginning of a bright new future for Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines with two remarkable new ships among the fleet. Here’s to many, many years of happy sailing ahead.” 

Captain Rommel Pineda, who will be at the helm for Borealis’ Maiden Voyage, said: 

“Being Captain on a new ship is a great honour in its own right, but today represents so much more than that. 

“My team on board have put their all into adding our own ‘Fred. Olsen touches’ and to see the pride on their faces as they prepare to welcome our first guests on board is testament to just how much we have all missed being at sea. 

“Today we set sail on a new era, with many cruising adventures ahead.”

To mark the launch, Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines is offering savings of up to £300 on selected ex-UK 2021 sailings and up to £200 per person to spend on board, plus up to £200 per person to spend on board on a selection of 2022 ex-UK cruises. 

Borealis was purchased by Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines in the summer of 2020, along with sister ship Bolette, as the line looked to strengthen and evolve for its return to cruising.
