Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines, the destination focused UK cruise operator, said the 2022 world cruise of Borealis offers an opportunity to set sail from either Liverpool or Southampton.

“Borealis’ S2202 ‘Around the World’ sailing, which will include transits of both the Suez and Panama Canals, visits to America, Hawaii, Papua New Guinea, New Zealand and a three-day stay in Sydney, will depart from Southampton for a 100-night cruise on 6 January 2022,” the company said in a statement.

Guests will also have the opportunity to join in Liverpool on 4 January 2022 for a 104-night sailing. 

Clare Ward, Director of Product and Customer Service at Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines, said:  “Three days in Hawaii will allow ample time to experience the volcanic vistas and to learn more about the historic site of Pearl Harbour. Sail the scenic fjords of New Zealand; witness the wonder of the Great Barrier Reef in Australia; explore the Lost City of Petra in Jordan and admire the spectacular skylines of the bustling cities of Singapore and Dubai.”

The world cruise itinerary will also be split into shorter fly-cruise sailings, ranging from 17 to 84 nights. The unveiling of the world cruise follows on from the launch of itineraries aboard Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines’ two new ships, Bolette and Borealis, earlier this month. 

The two ships have now officially joined the fleet in Rosyth, Scotland, and will embark on their maiden sailings in spring 2021, the company said.
