Fred Olsen Cruise Lines will offer itineraries to the Caribbean for the first time in more than three years this November.

Borealis, which will sail its maiden voyage to the Caribbean, will offer guests the Classic Caribbean Islands cruise, which calls at nine islands including Bequia and Antigua.

Martin Lister, head of itinerary planning and destination experience at Fred Olsen, said guests will have “many opportunities” to uncover ancient history and “fascinating cultures” throughout the cruise.

“We are thrilled to be sailing back to the Caribbean and showcasing the best of the islands to our guests,” he continued.

Highlights include Borealis cruising past the UNESCO-listed site of St Lucia’s volcanic pitons and a myriad of waterfalls – Emerald Pool, Spanny Falls, Jacko Falls and Trafalgar Falls in Dominica.

The announcement comes after the line joined forces with global environmental charity Project Seagrass earlier this year to raise awareness of the ocean’s seagrass habitats.

Borealis‘ 29-night Classic Caribbean Islands’ cruise, departing from Liverpool on 15 November 2023, has prices from £2,999pp.

Prior to his, Borealis will join Bolette and Balmoral to sail into Funchal, Madeira, for the Fleet in Funchal celebration on 9 November.
