Join Lisa from Travelling Light as she embarks on an exciting 10-night Fred Olsen Borealis cruise to Norway in search of the Northern Lights. This is her very first time sailing with Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines, and she’s joined by her friend Tina — a complete first-time cruiser.
In this episode, you’ll see what embarkation day on Fred Olsen’s Borealis is really like, from check-in and luggage drop to exploring the ship for the very first time. Lisa and Tina share their first impressions of the buffet lunch, cabin, and onboard dining experience, plus a look at sail away from Southampton.
You’ll also hear their honest thoughts on what makes Fred Olsen different from other cruise lines like Princess, Virgin Voyages, and Ambassador. Lisa shares insights into food quality, service, and evening entertainment, while Tina reveals her biggest surprises as a first-time cruiser.
This is the first vlog in our Fred Olsen Northern Lights Cruise series, so make sure you subscribe to Travelling Light to follow along as we visit stunning Norwegian destinations including Ålesund, Narvik, and Stavanger, and (hopefully) see the Aurora Borealis.
