Press release -
Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines to set sail for Caribbean for first time in more than three years
Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines will be sailing to the islands of the Caribbean this November for the first time in just over three years.
Guests on board Borealis – also heading on her maiden voyage to the Caribbean – will enjoy some winter warmth while visiting stunning tropical destinations on the Classic Caribbean Islands cruise.
The island-hopping adventure includes stops at nine islands including the lesser-known gem of Bequia, and Antigua, home to 365 beaches and historic landmarks such as Nelson’s Dockyard.
There’s also the chance to uncover sugar cane history aboard the St Kitts Scenic Railway during the call into Basseterre, and sample Caribbean rum at the Mount Gay Distillery – believed to be the oldest working distillery in the world – in Barbados.
Martin Lister, Head of Itinerary Planning and Destination Experience at Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines, said:
“We are thrilled to be sailing back to the Caribbean and showcasing the best of the islands to our guests.
“There are many opportunities to uncover ancient history and fascinating cultures throughout the cruise.
“Highlights include Borealis cruising past the UNESCO-listed site of St Lucia’s towering volcanic pitons and a myriad of outstanding waterfalls – Emerald Pool, Spanny Falls, Jacko Falls and Trafalgar Falls in Roseau, Dominica.”
During the cruise, guest speakers and geologists will be sharing their knowledge of volcanic islands and white sand beaches, as part of Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines’ Signature Experience, Itinerary Insights, which celebrates how guest speakers are chosen to give like-minded travellers a deeper understanding of a particular subject.
