Fred Olsen Cruises has announced a 11-night Spain, Portugal, and Gibraltar Escape sailing from Liverpool on October 23, 2027. The voyage will visit Gibraltar, Málaga, Cádiz, Lisbon, and Matosinhos, returning on November 3.
Highlights and Onboard Experience
Passengers can enjoy a dolphin-watching tour in Gibraltar, stroll along the elegant promenades of Andalusia, and take a tram through hilly Lisbon before savouring a flaky pastéis de nata. While sailing, the Borealis ship offers plenty of activities and stunning views despite its smaller size compared to others in the fleet.
The Borealis boasts open deck spaces and a range of highly rated restaurants. Prices start from £1,399 per person, including full board dining with five-course à la carte dinners, daily casual dining options, evening shows, swimming pool and jacuzzi access, and live shows.
Cabin Options and Additional Voyage
Guests can choose from interior, ocean, terrace, and suite cabins, but note that this trip is adults only.
Alternatively, the Whales & Wonders of Iceland trip explores Iceland's natural wonders including cascading waterfalls, volcanic craters, and geothermal waters. This nine-night voyage visits Reykjavík, Grundarfjörður, passes Látrabjarg, Eyjafjörður, Akureyri, the Arctic Circle, and Runavik. Limited cabins are available.
From Húsavík, the 'whale capital of Europe', you can witness humpbacks and minke whales in their natural habitat. After docking, explore quaint towns, bustling marinas, local shops, cafes, mountain walks steeped in folklore, and birdwatch puffins, guillemots, and fulmars on the cliffs.
